MAYFORD STYLES manufactures garden
ornaments. The company recently paid
compensation to several employees who
suffered health problems because of
inhaling cement dust, given off by inferior
materials during one of the manufacturing
processes of its range of garden statues.
Quality controls and procedures were
implemented to ensure that all raw
materials comply with standards. Safety
standards such as compulsory wearing of
safety gear and masks by employees will
also be strictly monitored. A press
statement was released to indicate the
compliance of the company to regulatory
safety standards. Which categories of risk
have MAYFORD STYLES reduced by taking
this remedial action?
