Public Sector Safety Professionals: Focused on Activity or Results?

It was then selected as the Public Sector Practice Specialty newsletter of the year and was published in the Council on Practice and Standards “Best of the Best from the 2005/06 Newsletters, 2006 Edition. This article was selected as the “Best of the Best Newsletter Article for the Council of Practice and Standards for 2006-2007.
This article addresses a topic that the author has thought about for many years. The author believes that looking at this accident 60 years after it occurred will provide lessons that will be relevant and long-lasting. Recent mine accidents remind us that lessons once learned are often forgotten. This article does not present information about individuals to impugn their character but to explain the situation in which people find themselves.
On March 25, 1947, a deadly coal mine explosion rocked the calm, peaceful town of Centralia, IL. During World War II, this mine provided coal to the war effort. A charge ignited built-up coal dust and caused the explosion. This explosion should have surprised no one. Many public sector safety professionals from state and federal agencies knew of the hazards as a result of inspections, union complaints and letters to state officials. These same safety professionals had notified various officials of mine safety agencies and the mine company of the hazards on more than one occasion. Officers of the mine’s union had also pressed for the hazard to be corrected. Failure to take action to abate the hazard resulted in the loss of 111 hard-working men who had spent much of their lives mining coal.
This article reviews the history of the mine before the disaster, the people involved and the circumstances that allowed the explosion to occur. The author believes that the analysis and its results are relevant to today’s public sector safety professionals.

Topic: Public Administration

Order Description
Hello, this isn’t exactly for “political science”, it’s for the study of Public Administration (government/municipal management), but it’s close enough.

I need a two-page paper for my MPA program admission packet. The two-page paper should address the following:

“The National Academy of Public Administration has identified four pillars of public administration – economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and social equity. Please explain why they are all equally critical to the successful practice of public administration today.”

Lastly, if this paper could be specific to the practice of public administration in the State of Wisconsin, that would be even more helpful.
