We are going thru the same thing where I work. Big safety push. Have been some accidents. It is an old plant with old machinery. I am supposed to turn in a”near miss” report each month and multiple “safety blitzes” about unsafe conditions. Trip hazards, leaks, etc. The head maintenance guy left a note with his keys on top of it last week. The powers that be wanted to write him up over a safety interlock on a machine that cut an employees finger pretty good. I dunno the right or wrong on that one, but everything is in an uproar.
