Brad is an air traffic controller who has had significant
problems with high blood pressure. He has changed his diet and
takes medication, but the problem persists. His wife thinks he
should find other employment because his job is very stressful and
contributes to his high blood pressure. She believes that if he
continues at the job, he could have a heart attack. Brad is an avid
runner and healthy otherwise. Brad has no training for any other
job. Based on this scenario, you are Brad’s boss.
Determine what the company’s options are and whether Brad
qualifies for workers’ compensation due to his health issues. Be
sure to explain when you are eligible for workers’ compensation and
what the law is. Analyze the key legal and ethical issues faced by
the employer throughout the process.
What is the Direct Threat Defense and how would it protect the
employer Government in the above scenario?
Workplace safety is very important today. Once an employer is
"informed" about a potential risk for violence in the workplace, it
exposes itself to liability for negligence if it "fails to take
reasonable steps" to prevent injury. What steps are "reasonable" if
you are the employer and must consider safety in this regard? Share
your thoughts?
