There are some large vessels in the plant that contain hazardous vapors. Although your company has an excellent safety record, several groups in the community have expressed concerns over the danger it poses, and have published letters to the editor in the local paper every month or so. In the middle of a winter night, your plant manager calls reporting that several feet of snow which have accumulated since yesterday have caused a section of the roof in the plant to collapse. Little more is known yet, but as an engineer you are expected to help. You are the first person the manager has called, and they need to know what step to take next. Considering public opinion, how much must you know before notifying the public? What would be your next step in this case? How can you react in a safe manner while saving your as well as the company’s face? 10 marks”

Hi Deepika
Good introduction.
Local media, government, community, and environment are also included in the stakeholders involved.
In the ethical issues, along with other points, write about the government apathy.
First action should be to minimize the damage in lowest possible time and money.
Since conditions of construction is difficult during snow, I would look for alternatives to run the operations of company till the vessels is reconstructed. This would help the employees and the company from being unemployed.
Write about the importance of emotional intelligence in this case.
Although your content is good but think little broad.
Keep writing , you will improve.

Hi Dakshina
Lackluster introduction, do not write the course of action instead briefly explain the case study.
Make a flow chart for writing the stakeholders involved, this will save you space as well as will make your answer more presentable.
You have explained the ethical issues involved in a good manner.
The content is good and well placed.
Also write that you would request the management of company to use the company’s CSR funds to take care of the damage caused to the community by rebuilding the town.
Rest of the content is good.
A decent attempt.
Keep writing, you will succeed.

Hi PS
Good introduction.
Use of flow chart in explaining the stakeholders involved and their actions, is appreciable !
After writing the stakeholders involved, write the ethical issues involved , you can give points like lack of accountability, government apathy etc.
Along with other points, also write that In situations of distress, it is quite common for people to lose their calm and act in a vitiated manner, especially if there are personal losses. The key here is to use the emotional intelligence on your part to respond and not react.
Good conclusion.
A good attempt.
Avoid spelling mistakes.
