[QUOTE="LastBest&Final, post: 503831, member: 20437"] STUG your story sounds like mine, but you don't need to be in the safety committee to make a difference. It's better if your not in the safety committee, then your not part of the broken system. I document unsafe conditions and report them to my center manager. He, of course, tries to pass the buck to the other safety committee co-chair, but I tell him I'm documenting that he is now aware of the unsafe conditions. That makes him, the safety committee and the company liable, if nothing gets done about it in a reasonible amount of time. Some things get changed and some things don't. Some times it happens quickly and some times it takes forever. It's up to management to make things safe, but if you don't document it, it's harder to prove negligence and they have no reason to change things. The fear of the law suit is why the company is concerned about safety. It has very little to do with how much they care about their employee's and more about their profitability. The more people you make aware of the unsafe condition and document it. The more likely it will be fixed before someone is injured. I want the company to be very profitable, and don't want the company to be sued, but not by ignoring unsafe conditions that could hurt or kill someone. [/QUOTE]
