Firstly, Acme did not plan or have a purpose to provide “bad popcorn” to attendees because popcorn were delivered by vendors that have signed contracts with Acme. Secondly, the fact that all attendees were not sick is a clear sign that it was not Acme’s intention to harm attendees. Acme cannot ignore that many of them were affected, but if Acme had a purpose to harm attendees, all of them should have been affected not a portion of them. However, Acme is liable for strict liability. According to Advice Company (2015), an individual or a company is legally responsible for strict liability if action done by such individual or company causes any harm regardless of any sign of negligence or intention of causing harm.

In this case, a violation originally deemed willful was reduced to a “serious” violation, bringing the associated penalty down from $70,000 to $7000. Other serious violations were reduced from $7000 to $5000 because R. Williams is a small employer with no prior history of injuries or OSHA violations. I think if the company can provide solid proof of training to their employees and provide evidence that the company did everything to provide employees with the knowledge to work safely, they will not be at fault for the violations OSHA assigned them. An employee’s actions should be taken into consideration at all times, especially when there is an incident. I believe OSHA needs to conduct a full investigation in order to determine what actually cause these accidents and unsafe work conditions.

This outcome not only describes the negligence of the employees, but also the owners, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck. Both owners did not pay enough attention to their employees to make sure they were taking the proper precautions to ensure their workstations were safe. If they had been more observant and made sure their employees followed strict rules, they could have avoided something to this extent.
