[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 810681, member: 26800"] soberups, Thanks for your excellent contribution to this discussion thread. Based upon the culture and lack of union solidarity maybe it is not as absurd as you think. A lot of employees are overly dependent on how others view them or will view them about a lot of different things. I want to point out that it is not an arbitrary assignment. Individuals are grouped together in close work groups. I agree with you 100%. The only purpose for recognizing groups for 0 accidents/0 injuries is to keep downward pressure on the injury and accident numbers. In a large corporation [B][U]reported[/U][/B] injury and accident numbers are everything. Anything that people in large company can do to put downward pressure on these numbers is considered a good thing. This false type of safety recognition is just one of those things. This kind of safety recoginition will make [B][U]some[/U][/B] weak willed people think twice before reporting certain injuries or accidents. If a large corporation can get some of the workforce (probably more than you or I would want to admit)make something that is supposed to be objective(like reporting all injuries and accidents) into something that is subjective then the company can continue to wrongfully influence these numbers. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
