[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4291216, member: 63706"] I have always felt that corporate safety culture is fundamentally flawed. There is never a good argument against pushing the safety bar one step further, if you believe safety is the top priority. When I first started, they made parkers start wearing safety vests. I thought to myself that the drivers were in just as much danger in the yard as the parkers, why not make them wear vests? Ten years ago it might have caused a revolt, now it is accepted. When I went to driver training, I was told to honk at workers near the road wearing safety vests, because safety vests make people complacent. I was also told that we don't have back up beeps because they make people complacent, but we must honk. How does honking versus beeping change the dynamics of the situation at all? In my opinion, it ties up a hand every few seconds that I need for turning the wheel, and distracts me from paying attention to what is going on around me. I like Mike Rowe's take on workplace safety, he seems to have the right idea.
