[QUOTE="10 Pt, post: 2930279"] Do you want it fixed immediately? #1.) WRITE a letter to your area OSHA office and explain to them about the egress transgressions you just posted here and that your supes (name them in the letter) are yelling at you to turn the belts back on. #2.) SIGN and date the letter, print your name for clarification, make sure the facility location, wing, belt, etc are clearly defined in the letter and put your cell phone number and email address on it. They will NOT give up your name or identify you as the author of the letter. They WILL fix the problem but you've got to hold the company accountable from then on. If OSHA fines the company ($$$) they won't want to get the second violation because it will be considered WILLFUL and the fine may be 30 times what the first fine was. Do this. But if you're a steward be careful that they don't trump up a "slow down" or "work stoppage" charge against you.... unless you are willing to see this thru. Mention the Whistle Blower Act if they harass any of you after OSHA comes in. If your safety committee is comprised of company puppets just write the letter. It'll be the beginning of true safe working conditions for you and your co-workers. [/QUOTE]
