Workplace safety program going a bit too far

[boomerang]

I work in a large manufacturing facility. They keep hammering home the safety message. One of the methods they've dreamed up is a review board.

If a person gets injured, no matter how minor, their case shows up on the Health and Safety report and they or their supervisor or both, must appear before the review board and do some 'splainin'. I guess the humiliation of it all is somehow supposed to reduce accidents and injuries.
(Actually, I think the purpose is to brainstorm ways to prevent it occurring again.)

Anyway, one of the female financial people went to medical for a headache and now she's on the H&S report. Both she and her supervisor must now appear before the board. I'm not kidding, for a headache.

Realizing this has gone too far, one of my co-workers thought that maybe he should pop a Viagra and head up to medical to get relief for his throbber.

We're wondering what the wording will be on the H&S report.

One day I'm going to write a book.

we have the same thing. they want you to report anything, no matter how minor to your supervisor so in case it's a plant safety issue, they can get it fixed right away. one guy got bit by a bug and a day later went to the doctor without telling his supervisor and got in trouble.

the funniest thing is though, the operators in the control room keep a log anytime something goes on in the plant, and one day this guy started having chest pains in a meeting (not an important guy, either) and the fucking operators logged it as if some piece of equipment just exploded. "So and so is experiencing chest pains in meeting room 2A, ambulance en-route."

Maybe her headache is due to a gas leak in sector 7G. Ever thought of that?

Maybe NIOSH enacted some higher fines?
