And there in lies your lack of vision and lack of operational experience. It's why us OP's guys and bean counters never see eye to eye. We can only try though .

"no one gives a damn about safety and does the bare minimum to cover their legal backsides"

No the cost of safety is only a potion of my findings. If you cannot figure the other areas out then that's on your poor analytical ability. There are three catagories to the safety arguement that I know of relevent to this arguement. We have been discussing three. We'll I have touched on three. You are fixated on one.

If a company is not safe I will kick them off site. Period! That's just bad for their business & reputation. For the company I work for I would be appluaded as our risk tolerance is low and our budgets are very very large. Incidents, especially those resulting in a sever injury or casulty are Show Stoppers. Look into how much it costs a mine site in lost productivity due to a workplace accident let alone a fatality.

So, so many questions I have asked. I have just assumed they were out of your comfort zone.
