I hate Safety!” he said jovially when asked if he had a ‘safety solution’ for his business. Really? He was joking, but we’re not:
- Does he still hate Safety?
- Does he care if an employee slips on a wet floor? Of course he does!
- Would he care if he knew that a trainee hadn’t yet been trained to use that power tool he was about to fire up? Absolutely!
- Does he care that his employees work to support a partner and young children and that these precious family members expect their loved one home safe and sound at the end of the day? There’s no doubt…
…Of course he cares.
Of course his desire for the people who support his business is that they are themselves supported. That they are empowered to do their job with the skill and professionalism they first demonstrated to get hired.
So what he really means when he says “I hate Safety”, is: i hate the thought of having to be fastidious with the details of safe work practices: surveying my worksite, trying to think of every procedure and activity that needs a risk assessment, ruling out potential hazards and going around fixing things that seemed to work fine for the last twenty years.
He has little to no experience in this because it’s not his core business. He wants to get on with doing the things he went into business to do, not a whole bunch of things he hasn’t trained in or had experience in. He does not know, and possibly does not wish to know, much about the workplace issues that get lumped into the one, sometimes limiting or even misleading, label of ‘Safety’.
