this is MURICA, we don't so shit the easy way. that job should require 7 large pieces of equipment that only move for 5 minutes each the whole job, at least three days of non stop dump trucks coming and going, a detour that inconveniences the whole city, and a budget that's at least 3 times what it should cost....

i'm being sarcastic, but that's probably what would happen if you could ever get the complacent government to get off it's ass and fix anything
What if the professional drivers just learned to read street signs......naw I'm just being silly. We had a street sweeper stuck in the parking deck last week, and I had to attend a safety meeting because of it, I was like wtf I don't drive the street sweeper.

Corporate entities always go way overboard.

Once, we were all flown into Dallas to attend a safety meeting that covered lifting heavy weights
and climbing ladders.

Worthy training to be sure, however flying 200 techs, round trip, to Dallas from all over the US was purely ostentatious and opulent. They could have accomplished the same results by attending local boy scout meetings. :roll:

I worked in a food factory where there was a sign at the time clock proclaiming,

Warning!
Beware of inanimate objects!

I always seen it as the breakdown between HR and the Safety dept.

We have a safety meeting every time there's a accident of any kind in any department. The thing that chaps my ass is they have us sign a register saying we have received training, and then give us a verbal command to go against the training. So they have a paper trail to cover their ass's but all we have is " my word against theirs " .

I liked how we had to take water tests of waste water entering the river.

Except they said to take the test 1500' up river of where our supposedly cleaned water entered the river.

Just in case.

I have been part of many waste treatment plant renovation projects . And they say the water we returned to the river was cleaner than the water in the river ( well that ain't saying much ) .

Safety should be pro active not reactive. Request a daily safety meeting next time you have one of those reactionary trainings. Bet the sign above your time clock says "safety fifth" or is it first?
