System Information
Crafting your paper around a particular case study has the advantage that it will assist to be specific
and not get lost in a superficial summary of everything that the unit may have touched upon. If you
decide to go down this path, you could choose to select one of (at least) three options. The options
for choosing a case include:
• A real life OHS incident or disaster
• Your current or previous employer
• A greenfield (ie new) project/ organisation for which you have to define OHS guidelines
You cannot use the cases or examples that were discussed in detail the lecture as the subject of your
paper. Also, please be careful with cases based on major disasters: the volume of media material of
such cases can be very large. However, by far the majority of the media reports are superficial,
hyped up, and do not deal skilfully with underlying issues of organisational behaviour. Make sure
you investigate the detail of organisational behaviour, and that may require you to get your hands
on reports from official investigators into the disaster.
It is suggested you use roughly 500-600 words to describe the situation's background.
