Bruceyg,
My OH&S diploma is to formalise over 35 years of manufacturing management and pioneering in introducing improvements in not only safety but also productivity and worker confidence in their equipment- very important.
Piper alpha was much more than your simplistic account. Cutting corners by workers was a part of the disaster. Look at the video again.
Current laws mean that directors of a company have ultimate responsibility and they turn to OH&S professionals to ensure that the shop floor is compliant and trained. Unfortunately unions use safety as a bargaining tool in power plays.
The day before two workers were killed at Longford gas plant in Victoria the site recorded a complacent record number of days without an accident. Enquiries into the disaster that shut down gas supplies to Victoria showed that the workers did not understand nor were trained in the basic physics of the plant they were operating.
Your example of cutting discs is totally out of touch with reality and must have been part of a union power play.
