That’s what workplace investigations are supposed to be, yes. My workplace unfortunately seems more preoccupied with assigning blame to operators and writing increasingly complex rule changes that wouldn’t be necessary if they spent, let me see, literally more than $0 on upgrading our tech…

Very shortsighted of the company to do that.

Yup. Just like every other place I’ve ever worked. Can’t see past quarterly profit increases until everything inevitably crashes and burns

Where I live at least some of the bigger construction companies do talk about safety a lot and can be fairly strict about it. It’s good PR and saves money by having your workers healthy and working and there doesn’t need to be work stoppages due to accidents.
