Problem
• A colleague makes the suggestion that the company should invest in a new safety training program that consists of online videos, tutorials, and quizzes. Another colleague disagrees, stating "We developed 'Safety is No Accident' training program specifically for our company's needs and it's been very effective for the last ten years." She went on to explain "No packaged software program knows our employees and issues like we do. It's a waste of money." Make a list of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
• If you were the Manager needing to decide about using a new safety program or continuing to use the current safety program, from your list of strengths and weaknesses above, what would you decide? Defend your answer.
• List sources of stress in the workplace. For each source of stress, explain causes and methods of reducing job stress.
