[QUOTE="Working4TheBene's, post: 499444, member: 5903"] I think all to quick, we all try and point the finger at something/someone to blame for us not doing something, somewhere at some time.... But what it comes down to is, safety is everyone's responsibility. What mgmt. really needs to do is to step up the game and encourage safety and realize (and recognize) personal limitations..... Everyday, unsafe behaviors are are going "un-noticed" until the day of an audit... that is not what working safely is all about. We go to work everyday and try our best, and somedays we can give more and somedays not so much, but in the end, we are all striving to accomplish one thing..... get our jobs done to the best of our ability and go home the same way we came to work... (all in one piece and uninjured). So in the end, we should be able to immediately correct our own unsafe behaviors for our own benefit. Any day that we do unsafe things and put ourselves at risk/harms way, we are on borrowed time till we really get hurt... it's usually not just that one single unsafe act that gets us injured... it's those unsafe acts over a duration of time that forms bad habits, that all adds up to us being injured. Is management necessarily doing everything they can... probably not. I think they need to do more to encourage and recognize all the safe things we do each and everyday instead of constantly harboring on the negatives. Maybe they should "invest" more time in training, coaching, aiding, etc. instead of focusing on what cuts need to be made this week to make some number.... When the chips are down, and we are all tired after the days done, the last thing we need to here is more negative talk..... We all need to focus on working safely and retain our current customers....instead of constantly trying to "steal" customers from the other carriers....(but that's another topic...) Just my opinion.... [/QUOTE]
