BEC pho is a company that manufactures turbines for power generating plams. BEC recently signed a contract with an independent power producer, Motlakase. According to the contract, BEC agreed to supply a turbine for a Start in the contract rate of 100 megawatts. new power plant owned by Motlakage. BEC guaranteed that the turbine would produce electricity at a In addition to supplying the turbine. BEC's contractual responsibilities included providing technical advice and on-site support during the up, testing and commissioning of the turbine. Motlakase hired Modupi, plant including installing the turbine supplied by BEC.. Modupi Installed the turbine and the construction of the power plant is now almost complete. The contractor is now ready to commission the plant by running a number of tests to make a separate construction contractor, to construct power sure that the turbine is working properly and producing the power at the guaranted rate. years. BEC sent one of its employees, Thabo, to the site to witness the tests and to provide technical advice to assist Modupi cluring the testing, Thabo is a very experienced professional engineer and has worked on many different construction sites over the Soon after arriving at the site, it become apparent to Thabo that Modupi was carying out its work In an unsafe manner.
