I don’t understand the supervisors who allow workers to rummage around machines like this while they are running.
You obviously have never worked in a manufacturing facility. Supervisors are not there to observe each and every worker on their shift but rather assign the workers to their respective work positions then insure that the production lines are running smoothly.
Having worked in a Tier I stamping plant all my life, since the creation of OSHA and their brothers on the state level, virtually every industrial accident that happened in my plant was due to human error and a violation of the safety protocols required in those jobs........
The last fatality at my plant involved an electrician who had to climb a ladder at the back of the press shop in order work on the circuit breakers controlling the press lines. Meanwhile back on the floor, the over head crane operator picked up a pallet of steel and proceeded to transport it to the back of the press shop and ultimately crushed the electrician working on the ladder.
What went wrong? The electrician failed to lock out the overhead crane control and the crane operator was running the crane from an area behind a press that prohibited his view of the back of the shop where the electrician was working..........
You can't blame supervision because workers will do stupid things on their jobs........That's why the word "Accident" is in the dictionary......
