In this scenario the CEO should be able to point to a body of evidence that show the Walmart has strong and robust procedures for dealing with type of waste, and they provide enough time and training to employees to follow those procedures.
Thus this specific act was the result of an employee failing to follow procedure, despite being given the training and time to do so.
This is the exact burden of proof that is used for health and safety. When an employee is seriously injured, there’s a burden on the employer to demonstrate that took all reasonable precautions to prevent the injury. That mean procedures, training and evidence that those procedures and training is followed, enforced and enough time and space to provided for employees to follow them.
This should exist through the entire chain of command, with each level ensuring that the level below isn’t cutting corners, and it part of a CEO responsibility to build that management framework. I mean it already exists for controlling costs and ensure health & safety in most successful companies, why can’t it exist for all legal and social obligations?
