My gut tells me to stick with Jim's advice. I'm sure there are disadvantages that could be predicted and heck, you might start looking for that next job now rather than wait but don't let them make it look like you are the bad guy. This jerk put himself and others at risk by not heeding the obvious that a trained person would have heeded nor did he heed the protests of those who had tried to follow the chain of command and alert the supervisor of the need for the next level of safety (LOTO). He is in dereliction of duty, not you. The rest of them (safety officer and HR suits) are in collusion it appears. Their number one job is not 'safety' at this point, it's risk management and you and your complaint pose a risk to their normal operations or their financial bottom line. If they think they needed a good defense it's because you have a decent case with the assertion of this supervisor having done something wrong.
