[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 503988, member: 9662"] So 3 months is not enough to receive training and start changing things? The safety committee has been around quite some time now, and they are still doing the same stuff. I'm not saying that repeated jargon has no merit, but there is more to safety than repeated words and phrases. When one is in a position to do something to better the environment, but gets hamstrung in the process, that's a problem. I have a feeling that he taught his children these things, but since there is no audit pending, he doesn't feel the need to drill them on it weekly. I believe that accidents and injuries reduction is a mixed bag of mgmt tricks. Some of the reduction is due to the repeated DOK and methods, while to a greater extent, the fear of being fired and mgmt not reporting injuries/accidents, takes care of the rest. In case you think I'm making this up, come visit my building. When you're hurt, the first words are, go home and see if you feel better in the morning. As for accidents, let's just replace the mirrors, who cares that the mirror arm is damaged and bent and that the bottom air vent has been ripped right off of the car. I pointed these things out to mgmt and they were not reported, but covered up. So now what? What is the remedy? This is the reason I am quitting. It's not the fact that it takes time to get things running, but the fact that things are running exactly as mgmt wants them to run. Safety should be used the same way every time, not as we pick and choose. Accidents should be reported, as well as injuries. Let's see the real numbers, so we can work at safety from there. This is the reason why, after 3 months, I'm fed up. If you notice, I tell the truth, warts and all. I have nothing to hide, and neither should the safety committee. MGMT doesn't want someone who's going to be honest. They want someone to be their puppet, and I ain't no puppet.:biting: [/QUOTE]
