In many international border environments, including major international airports, land border crossings and sea passenger clearance areas, Immigration, Quarantine/Agriculture, Customs, Police and other agencies all work in the same environment.
All these agencies are responsible for different aspects of the border management of arriving travelers and cargo at the border. For instance, Quarantine/Agriculture will have the final say over whether or not quarantinable material can enter, Immigration will have the final say over immigration matters and so on.
Reflect on this and answer the following questions (no more than 100 words for each of the two questions).
What would be the major hurdles when a number of agencies are undertaking these complementary but sometimes competing roles.
What would result from a lack of cooperation and coordination between these agencies?

Please read the textbook material about Ethics in Crisis Management and the attached word document on the topic before proceeding with the assignment.
Think about the ethical decisions that your company made during the crisis identified in Module 2. Consider the four questions below to help you to analyze your company’s ethical behavior and think about ways to improve its corporate ethics.
How did mismanagement contribute to the crisis?
How did the organization finally resolve the crisis and what legal implications were present (e.g., the settlement of lawsuits)?
What excuses did the company provide for any questionable behavior? What could the company have done differently?
How can the ethical culture of the organization be improved?
Steps
Create an ethical analysis related to your company’s specific crisis identified in Module 2 (word document attached). Such an analysis must of course consider the elements and anticipated actions embodied in the crisis plan, and should also consider the larger ethical context of the conditions (ethos, environment, etc) and normal operating principles driving the company, as these influence the likelihood, characteristics, and impact of any crisis. All ethical lapses represent mismanagement of one form or another, but not all mismanagement is an ethical lapse. Thus, please focus on “true” ethical lapses, and not just mismanagement per se. Do not just answer the questions above; they are for you to use as a guideline to assist in creating your analysis. . The analysis should be a short exposition, less than one page.
Share your exposition with your team.
You have been asked to conduct an ergonomic job hazard analysis (JHA) in a manufacturing facility that manufactures metal parts for an automotive
company. One area of concern is the manual materials handling (MMH) throughout the facility. Specifically, you have been tasked with conducting a JHA on the palletizing of shipping boxes once they are assembled. Given the following worksheet (attached JHA),
calculate (1) the recommended weight limit (RWL)
(2) the lifting index using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation.
Using the data and results, provide your written recommendations for corrective action against strenuous lifting tasks performed by employees in
order to reduce risks and prevent injuries.
You should search the internet for possible solutions, if applicable.
Respond to the details in each section, and format your report in APA style.
Include at least each of the components below in your project.
Introduction: Briefly describe why the studies were performed (why you started the study), and explain how this job hazard analysis can improve the
overall safety and health management program. In the introduction, compare the different techniques for performing a JHA and why the method chosen was appropriate for this scenario.
Report detail: Briefly discuss the details of the scenario (what you found from the study).
Conclusions/Recommendations: Briefly describe your recommendations based on
your findings (what you recommend to resolve any deficiencies).
Appendix: This will have your measurements and calculations (show your work). Include the JHA worksheet in this section.
The report should be at least three pages (double-spaced) in length (not counting the references page and appendices).
Please use the attachments as a source for the paper.
