Professional Responsibility

A little tidbit about myself. I am professionally certified in the field of safety & health. I'm supposed to help people do their work safely so they can return home to their loved ones at the end of the day healthy, uninjured, and in one piece. The old view was that it was the safety guy's responsibility for safety at a work site. Uh uh. It's the employer's responsibility to keep the workplace safe and it's the individual's responsibility to work safely. It's the safety guy's responsibility to be a resource to help both accomplish that. Personal responsibility you see. Something sorely lacking in our society these days and a topic you will no doubt hear a lot about if you are a regular visitor to this blog. I've been pretty fortunate to have worked with employers and employees who, generally, haven't drifted too far afield from this basic premise or their respective responsibilities. Once in a while however...



Another little tidbit about myself. In addition to being a safety & health professional, I believe in Natural Selection. These two facts sometimes come into conflict with each other.

One other thing. I also have a somewhat warped and twisted sense of humor. You'll probably see a lot of this type of picture here. Happy Friday!
