Assignment 3


Semester 2


2024

, 1. How a Corporate’s Image Can Be Affected by Accidents and Injuries
1. Public Perception: Accidents often draw media attention, which can lead to
negative publicity. If a company is seen as negligent or failing to ensure
employee safety, it can damage its reputation. For instance, frequent
workplace accidents might suggest a lack of adequate safety measures or
poor management.


2. Consumer Trust: Consumers are increasingly conscious of corporate
responsibility. An accident, especially if it results in severe harm or fatalities,
can erode consumer trust. Customers may choose to avoid products or
services from a company perceived as unsafe or unethical.


3. Legal Repercussions: Legal consequences stemming from workplace
accidents, such as fines or lawsuits, can further tarnish a company’s image.
Legal battles can be publicized, portraying the company in a negative light
and highlighting deficiencies in its safety protocols.


4. Financial Impact: The financial burden from accidents, including
compensation claims, increased insurance premiums, and legal costs, can be
substantial. These financial strains can affect public perception, suggesting
mismanagement or instability.


5. Employee Recruitment and Retention: A company with a poor safety record
may struggle to attract and retain skilled employees. Prospective employees
are likely to avoid companies with a reputation for unsafe working conditions,
which can affect overall productivity and innovation.


6. Investor Confidence: Investors may view frequent accidents as a sign of poor
management and increased risk, which could lead to decreased investment
and lower stock prices. Companies that are perceived as unsafe may also
face difficulties in securing funding for future projects.


7. Brand Value: Long-term damage to a company’s brand value can occur if
accidents are recurring or severe. Rebuilding a damaged image often requires
significant time and resources, and some reputational damage may be
irreversible.
