[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5506692, member: 59074"] Safety committee is basically told by the company what they are supposed to do, what they are supposed to talk about. Even the minutes of the meeting is dictated by time down to the second on a piece of paper. Some center managers in my experience don’t give a rip and spend the whole safety meeting texting or scrolling through their phone. Others will pretend to care and say they will give you whatever you need because they know your ideas will fizzle out in the end when they are met with large resistance from other management and employees. It really turned into the gossip committee, talking about accidents and injuries and naming people who are supposed to remain nameless. Then you have the documentation. They give every driver a DOK every month verbally and lo and behold every driver gets 100 percent (impossible). Which at some point when the driver gets injured or in an accident the company will pull out a stack of DOKs and say they knew better, they knew the methods. We had committee members asking the manager to write up so and so for X infraction. Because they tried to talk to the driver about his actions and he wasn’t receptive. That’s why I’m saying stick around long enough and you will get past that honeymoon stage and realize there are better ways to actually help people and make the workplace safer, than to be a professional documentator and snitch for the company.
