i am certain that i will ruffle some feathers with what i am going to say, maybe even put some of you in touch with your anger but (here goes)
lawyers make laws that make them money, when there are too many lawyers they make more laws. doctors make machines and learn new techniques to make money, when there are too many doctors they make more gadgets, more pills and in some cases even more maladies. safety trainers look for more people to train and more reasons to train them and seek to enlist the government to help with recruitment to service an industry with a surprisingly low accident rate when compared to most other ocupations...to make money.
it could be said that the less effective you are at your job the more demand for you there will be. obviously i dont want anyone hurt but how much difference does training actually make? does anyone have any research data for pre and post training statistics. yes, i am well aware that i am an a#!hole so dont feel obligated to remind me.
