    It kills me that most workers seem to only want to get the job done at any expense, and they tend to get mad at people who get hurt on the job because it tightens up safety.

    1. Why do you care so much? Make your money and go home happy. Fuck the guy who’s trying to milk your life dry.

    2. The ramifications of hurt workers are directed much more towards management and their failure to properly address issues than they are toward workers who don’t follow policies. OSHA doesn’t even write people up, only employers. And it’s illegal to be retaliated against if you’re an employee who reports unsafe conditions.

    I don’t think I read a single module in these classes that didn’t include some phrasing of “Blame the policy, blame the managers, do not blame the employees.” Like, the hands are the ones doing the work and have the best ideas of how to do things; therefore, your policies and practices should reflect that.

    And people bitch and moan about their boss being a hard-ass, and then bend over backward to finish their task on record pace. It’s baffling.

    Y’know, I had a somewhat mean comment here, but I deleted it because my training has taught me that there’s always a root cause for behavior, and I gotta start practicing that

    So let’s see:

    All employees, ideally, would be involved in the paperwork. So if you’re working differently than what it says, there’s an issue.

    Have you SEEN the JHA for the job? Were you made aware of all the hazards you may face, given the PPE required, and trained properly? If not, then I’ll go have a talk with your manager and find out why.

    Is there something we can do to make PPE unnecessary maybe?

    I’m not here to harass or scold anyone. I’m here to find faults in the system itself, to protect you and your friends, and to make everyone as happy as possible while still getting the job done.

    A good portion of this training focuses on the psychosocial aspect of jobs - keeping people engaged and mentally well. All I want to do is get you through the day in one piece and smiling.

    Y’know, before things like OSHA and the unions, they used to just shoot and bomb their workers until shit got done. You ignorant, ungrateful cocksucker.












  • I’ll be honest with you, I really didn’t learn anything new. I’ve had this stuff beat into my head for years working construction and maintenance. I just needed the certificate.

    I just sat here for several minutes trying to think of SOMETHING and I got nothing. But I am pretty tired also, so 🤷🏻‍♂️
