“They are very eager to see what we have been working on during the past few weeks,” she says excitedly. “I am sure they will love the plan and am looking forward to your presentation.””Thanks,” you respond, feeling a few butterflies in your stomach. “I am looking forward to the presentation also. I think we have covered all of the bases and I am sure we have a solid plan.  I have jotted down the order of items to cover that I think will be best for the presentation. What do you think?”

HR CHALLENGE: OSHA ANALYSIS

Introduction

Creating a culture of workplace safety and legal compliance is a very real task for the human resource professional. Each type of work setting has some overarching safety standards. Compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is part of everyday record keeping and expenses within a business. 

You will have the opportunity to learn more about OSHA and how its work impacts modern organizations. By creating a memorandum for your leadership team, you will get practical experience communicating the legal issues, expenses, and benefits of compliance with OSHA regulations.

Scenario

Your organization is reviewing their OSHA practices and expenses to determine if they are currently effective or if they need to be revisited. Your executive memorandum will serve as background information for the ongoing discussions between organizational leadership and the human resource department.

Your Challenge

You are a human resources specialist with experience in establishing OSHA protocols and the related costs. You will write the memo of explanation to the organizational leadership team so that they can have an informed discussion about practices in your organization.

Instructions

1. Write a 2–3-page executive memorandum to organizational leadership regarding the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and its effectiveness in the workplace. Include the following: 

• Describe the mission and function of OSHA. 
  • What is OSHA intended to do? Is it working? 
• List some of the compliance objectives, or the overarching safety standards.
• Analyze the impact of OSHA in modern organizations. 
  • What does the HRM professional need to know about OSHA? 
• Analyze the cost of regulations and enforcement versus the benefit in reduced worker injury. Is the cost of regulations and enforcement worth the results? 
• Develop health- and safety-related best practices for human resources and organizational leadership. 
  • Are there different perspectives toward interpretation, monitoring, and compliance with OSHA, and do the differing perspectives enhance or hinder workplace safety? 
• Evaluate the ways in which a company can mitigate risk.

2. Your executive memorandum is to be written coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional.
3. Support your assignment with citations from relevant readings, and use real-world organization examples to demonstrate the importance of the concepts and analysis you have provided.

The Writing Feedback Tool is designed to provide you with guidance and resources to develop your writing based on five core skills.
