1. Problem 5. Safety First
Discrimina, Inc. recently received a number of correction orders
from OSHA. The local Fire Marshall has also warned them that
the welding area does not comply with the fire codes. In
particular, the stairwell is not up to OSHA or state fire codes. It
is an open stairs in the office annex next to the shop. The owner
contends that it is not a problem, since it is not even in the same
building where welding occurs, but the inspectors all say it is
not up to code. Both OSHA and the fire inspector want an
entirely new enclosed stairway to be built. They also want a
completely fireproof wall between the shop and the office
annex. The CEO has heard negative things about OSHA and
doubts he needs to follow their recommendations.
