And one more thing.... to make my point about arrogant management. Haywood or hairbrain or whatever the CEOs name is was being interviewed and he said, "Nobody wants this over with more than we do."... then he went on to say, "I'd like to have my li…
I was discussing the issue of the blowout with a friend, 60ish, long time oil patch. As he put it, "This could only happen to BP [or Exxon]. The bureacracy they create in their efforts to promote safety frequently have the same effect as making a ri…
One thing that I'd like to add in what I found is the client that you work for. I was fortunate to be a contractor for Shell. They were the best group of people I could have worked for. They were patient but they expected excellence. They are known…
Well put....Training is the key to preventing accidents from happening...

I just got a job as a safety man in PA. I broke out with scandrill 8 years ago slinging tongs and digging ditches and have busted my butt every day since. And I fully believe that safety programs and safety personel are a necessary tool in today's o…
i fully agree that every company needs some type of program but some degree doesnt make you safer than the next, mabe alittle more time learning people skills to better interpet
AMEN..... very well put
The problem is not the safety people, it is when your company officially tells you to do things "this way" and then the personell onsite expects you to continue doing the same things "the easy way".
One should think the main goal would be to make t…
