Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

RE: work place safety on pbs
C.D. I've been reading the transcripts above and I'll tell you it has been turning my stomach....deliberatly withholding pertinant information from federal inspectors and OSHA only fining the company originaly 12,000.00 in a fatality and this safety director getting them to come down to 4500.00 this is disgusting.....it's what most of the other injured workers have been saying all along, just unbelievable!!!! but I'm saving all this informational site for my attorney's don't know if it will do any good but worth a try, you know!!!!

the next airdate is 2/5/08 at 9-10pm on frontline

RE: work place safety on pbs
I have been reading some of the transcripts above and it looks as though the names and the type of manufacturing are the only things different than what I've worked in. It always looked like their safety slogan should be "SAFETY FIRST AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T INTEREFERE WITH PRODUCTION" or "SAFETY FIRST IF YOU THINK SOMEONE IS WATCHING" I really would like to tell more about the place I worked at but I'm sure they are watching. Maybe I can get on one of those shows and tell my story some day.

RE: work place safety on pbs
I hope so ....we all need to be heard here.....same game just different players I say!!!! I'm at a point in this game that I don't care what I say or what I do anymore....I just want the truth to be out....let them be damned....Too bad there aren't more Safety directors like the one mentioned in the transcripts that turned on the company and gave pertinent information? need more of them to start doing what's right....you know!!!! I just hope frontline answers me...they are the first I've read or heard of that is trying to bring all these situations to light....For all of you...in case you didn't get a chance to read the transcripts...they do have a forum open for discussion....Maybe if we all write or email they'll help!!!! Only a hope tho
