[QUOTE="Paid-over-in-Maine, post: 483241, member: 19023"] OK, Ive caught up with this thread, so here I go. I am on the safety committee in my building and I have to agree with Sober, to a certain extent. The committee is there for OSHA. I WILL NOT be going into management, nor do we get a lighter dispatch, or preferential treatment, ( I still get my 10 hr days). Ya sure we put together demo's and safety PCM's, but when it comes to the real meat & potato's, that's were it grinds to a halt. The meaningful safety issues that are brought up are met with "We'll have to run that by So and So. I'll agree there. As far as the 3-point seat belt, no one has brought it to the attention (at least to me) of the committee. I may be selfish but I hadn't really thought about those w/ out one. We get 35 minutes, on the first Friday of the month, to review 1 1/2 hrs. of info, because "we can't have 5 people on the clock that long". As long as we fill the 3 month calender with demo's were good in the eyes of management. I actually thought of giving up my position but then I went and got hurt.
