6. search Bhopal gas tragedy Review the Bhopal case study in the lecture notes. (Your tutor may ask you to summarise the events in the tutorial.) This question addresses the following ethical dilemma. A developing country may desperately need foreign investment in the form of industrial production, but there is a perception that access to such cheaper labour allows the parent company to save costs on the safety infrastructure. Following the flow chart on page 52 in the lecture notes, develop a simple (flow chart) algorithm that poses these questions: 2B2A/7 a) Is it legal based on the equivalent UK safety legislation? b) Is it legal based on the local safety legislation? c) Is it professional? d) Is it moral? [Hint: Start with the decision to be tested as "Company wants to build a hazardous plant in developing country", then use "true" or "false" outcomes for a-d above.] Flow charting You will see flow charts elsewhere in the course and they are very useful for laying out the decisions and consequences in a helpful visual format; although in practice if many issues are included the diagram becomes too complicated to follow. Flow charts are also handy for explaining your decision making process to others in the form of reports or briefing documents. They are most appropriate when there is a sequence of events being analysed and all relevant outcomes of those decisions are known. Below is a copy of the flow chart from Fledderman's book dealing with the Bhopal disaster, and the hypothetical decision making process that Union Carbide may have gone through when deciding where to locate the plant Union Carbide would like to build a plant in Bhopal Are safety laws in India as strict as in U.S.? Yes Yes Are local laws adequate for safe operation? Design according to local standards No Design plant as in U.S. No Decide on minimal standards that will ensure local safety Build plant anyway and assume risk No Invest elsewhere Is this cost- effective? Yes Build plant 55
