Hempson Industries UK Ltd. A case study in occupational health services

Hempson Industries Inc. is a large (and fictitious), multi-national American owned corporation. Its wholly owned UK subsidiary, Hempson Industries UK Ltd., is a diversified organization with operations dispersed throughout the UK. The UK Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Stephen Saunders, has been with the company for nearly two years and has been proud of his achievements in establishing a professional and proactive in-house occupational health services department. His perceived success, however, has been questioned by some significant recent events.
