A plant that processes building materials is located in a county that was recently in the news for having the 3rd highest rate of drug and alcohol abuse in the country. The plant has had a 17% increase in employee injuries in the operations department and during the graveyard shift.
What would be the best course of action to reduce the rate and risk of injury in the plant?
A . Conduct a root cause analysis with employee involvement
B . Change the employees shift from the graveyard shift to day shift
C . Conduct plant-wide random drug and alcohol test
D . Provide personal protective equipment for the employees and conduct OSHA-approved training
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) urge employers to conduct a root cause analysis following an incident or near-miss at a facility. A root cause is a fundamental, underlying, system-related reason why an incident occurred that identifies one or more correctable system failures. By conducting a root cause analysis and addressing root causes, an employer may be able to substantially or completely prevent the same or a similar incident from recurring.
