How come more and more businesses are shirking the responsibility of safety first? I am the trainer at our facility. I do not have any power of enforcement of safety violations. In the past week I have witnessed and turned in two people for not using thier fall protection device while 20+ feet in the air. I let my management know that this is a very serious issue. They directed me to the facility rules book where a first offense within six months results in a discussion. I think that a safety violation that could result in death should be more serious. What do you think? Also, my name is on ALL of thier forklift liscenses. What responsibility would I have if OSHA came through and found multiple violations (cause there are many things that they don't enforce)?
