Critical Thinking Scenario The Vice President for Compliance Management, Alexander Goodenuff, supports the position taken by Henry Wilburn, the plant manager. Alexander directs the Chief Engineer, Cathy Martin, to prepare a confidential daily contamination discharge report for him. Cathy is directed to keep this report strictly confidential and to share it with no one other than Henry Wilburn. Alexander informs both Cathy and Henry that no new contamination control equipment will be purchased and installed unless or until there is data indicating a serious violation of environmental regulations is continuing. True/False Critical Thinking Scenario Cathy Martin, PE, the Chief Engineer for Metals Extraction Corporation, is assigned the responsibility for reporting contamination in plant water discharges to regulatory agencies. In a situation where she is directed by upper management to make "adjusted" or inaccurate reports she is still professionally responsible for her reports to regulatory agencies.True/False

1st Scenario: Purchase of new contamination equipment would indicate that the plant had been violating environmental regulations and reporting false data. So, Cathy and Henry must not purchase and install new contamination equipment unless the data indicates serious violatino of environmental regulations.

2nd Scenario: Company has the responsibiltiy to report contamination in plant water to regulatory agencies and Cathy Martin has been assigned this responsibility to report on behalf of the company. Reporting "adjusted" or inaccurate data is against the business ethics. So, professionally Cathy Martin is responsible for her reports to regulatory agencies.
