Sun Coast Remediation Course Project Guidance
Background
To help make a connection between business research and its use in the real world, this course
will use an iterative course project. Throughout the term, you will serve as the health and safety
director for Sun Coast Remediation (Sun Coast).
Sun Coast provides remediation services to business and governmental organizations. Most of
their contracts involve working within contamination sites where they remove toxic substances
from soil and water. In addition to the toxicity of the air, water, and soil their employees come
into contact with, the work environment is physically demanding and potentially contributory to
injuries involving musculoskeletal systems, vision, and hearing. Sun Coast genuinely cares about
the health, safety, and well-being of their 5,500 employees, but they are also concerned about
worker compensation costs and potential long-term litigation from injuries and illness related to
employment.
Health and Safety Director Task
Sun Coast hired you last month to replace the previous health and safety director, who left to
pursue other opportunities. This is a critical position within the company because there are many
health and safety-related issues due to the nature of the work. The former health and safety
director was in the midst of analyzing these issues through the implementation of a research
project when she left the organization.
Throughout the term, you will use your knowledge of research methods to bring the research
project to fruition. You will conduct a literature review, develop research questions and
hypotheses, create the research design, test data, interpret data, and present the findings. Each
unit will accomplish one of these tasks. It has already been decided that the business problems
will be best addressed using a quantitative research methodology. You will not collect any data
for this project. The former health and safety director had already collected the data, which is
provided for you in an Excel spreadsheet.
Statistical Tools
You will conduct the data analysis using Microsoft Excel Toolpak. View these links for
