I guess that guy really showed you, huh, Roger? Sorry you had to deal with the travel bullshit. That many OSHA violations in one place gives me the willies.
Tangentally related story of how much employers give a fuck about safety in general:
About five years ago I was working at a supermarket. Somebody called in a bomb threat (which is, of course, a jake 99% of the time, but that 1% is a bitch). They didn't tell us what was going on, they just got all the workers and customers to go stand outside and wait. Then they got the ONE BLACK EMPLOYEE, who worked as a meat cutter, to go in and walk around the store and "see if he saw anything unusual". Then a cop came and talked with the manager and everybody went back in.
THAT is not proper bomb threat protocol.
P.S.
Yes I DO know proper bomb threat protocol, including the RIGHT way to clear a building.
You tell them it's a fire drill until they get outside. Stampedes cause injuries.
You make sure the building's empty by doing a walkthrough.
Then don't touch a damn thing, ESPECIALLY light switches or devices, as a change in the power state of any given device or light switch may be a triggering mechanism..
You then wait for the bomb squad, because they know what they are doing and they probably get paid more than you.
P.P.S I'm really glad Rev Roger does his job.
WRONG
Jack Bauer shows up, shoots some rounds into the air and yells "everybody get out!", and tackles the nearest minority, ties them up, waterboards them, and runs off, gets the bomb, puts it in a pick up truck and runs it off a bridge right before it blows up.
