Good one Bill, exactly what is posed to those in critiques when participants bemoan a problem...
solution?
First off~
We have a minset that is fundamentally flawed if safety continues as an Us-Them premis.
The cookie jar mentality of violation/fine via the upside down managerial triangle educates us to what?
A good example would be the many safety protocals held as overkill, or un necessary.
Secondly~
Corporism holds the concept of safety in the same light as liability . It merely equates to cost effectiveness, nothing more for most.
Third~
Unfunded mandates aren't worth the paper they're written on, laws, codes, and whatever else that may in fact be a good idea unenforced speak for themselves.
The end user(s) become a cyclical victim of isolation, and the object of litigation.
Safety, IMHO, should come from the bottom up as well as the top down.
A position of responsibility, as we are to be safety applied, should also come with some authority
Joe worker, with his heart in it, and mind on it,not some drone to protocal, would make more of a dent in the overall concept via sheer numbers.
