[QUOTE="Hubrat98, post: 725205, member: 23573"] 866, The biggest problem with the push on safety from upper management is that they ignored the fact that many of unsafe acts were shortcuts that increased or maintained production. Now, they want front-line supervisors to run the same production numbers but it's less productive to do things safely. This is where upper-mgmt looking the other way on safety issues for years has hurt the operations supervisors. Once they started to look at safety costs and realized they could save $ they started to take it seriously and said things had to be done by the book. When proper safety methods started to be used and production started to slip they wanted to know why. Easy answer: In the Hub it's more productive to do certain things unsafely. Upper-mgmt told us that we should have been doing things the right way the entire time so the #'s shouldn't be slipping. [/QUOTE]
