[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1220899, member: 14668"] You know what the really sad part is? [B]What you are saying is absolutely correct[/B]. Avoiding back-first exceptions whenever possible is a [I]legitmate safety concern[/I]. The problem is...that message gets [I]completely lost [/I]in the jumble of metrics and buzz words and conflicting/contradictory instructions that we are being given every single day. How are we supposed to take managements instructions [I]seriously[/I] when 4 different supervisors give us 4 [I]different[/I] definitions of what actually constitutes a back-first exception? How are we supposed to take managements instructions [I]seriously[/I] when we are instructed to [I]minimize[/I] the number of backs and then in the [I]same[/I] sentence harassed over our failure to generate an arbitrary ORION compliance metric that can [I]only[/I] be met by backing an excessive number of times? Safety begins with a [I]consistent[/I] message and a [I]consistent[/I] mind set. Its not some flavor-of-the-week metric to be blindly chased and then as quickly forgotten. [/QUOTE]
