BUS_FP4801Assessment4_Attempt_1.docx Assessment 4: Addressing an Ethical Issue BUS-FP4801 Introduction A transportation company has many challenges when it comes to vehicle repairs, parts, and oil disposal. It has been brought to the HR department's attention that the maintenance department has been improperly disposing of the motor oil from the trucks. It was brought to the company's attention from waste management that large amounts of motor oil have been in the trash several times over the last six months, and if it continued, they would be forced to report it to the EPA because when it is not correctly disposed of it contaminates the environment. To prevent any future failures of this magnitude, the company will first install cameras in the maintenance shop. Then document every oil change by recording how many gallons were removed and how many were dispensed into the vehicle. The company will create a logbook that the driver coming to pick up old oil must sign confirming how much was picked up and how much new oil is delivered. Lastly, a manager will balance the books every week to validate how much oil was used and disposed of every week. Identify the Ethical Dilemma or Problem Two hundred million gallons of used oil are improperly disposed of each year (EPA, nd).
