this kind of mentality is what can get someone killed.

its not so much about being a dobber, but about keeping everyone safe and able to go home at the end of the shift to the family.

Going to have to side with FPVGS on this one. I'll give you some examples of the safety mentality and dobbing sh!t.

You get a papercut, you are obligated to report that and fill out an incident report.

There are MSDS available for coffee

A fitter grazes his knuckle tightening a bolt, goes it the book as a safety incident. As a result everyone must now wear gloves. Wearing gloves doesn't stop people using the wrong tool for the job or their hand hitting something, it just stops a few drops of blood and hours of paperwork.

The other day I was reported to a safety/training bloke by one of the new sparkies. The sparky had just been through more inductions and seen me with my sleeves rolled up. According to the book I'm not allowed to have my sleeves rolled up and he pointed it out to the safety bloke. I asked what the reason was and this sparky said "that there was a risk of entanglement in rotating machinery". The plant was shut down and I was in the back of a troopy. Needless to say I told the sparky to fark off and the safety guy had a chuckle. Had this of been on a different site I may have received a written warning.

I will agree with the fact that a lot of dodgy and potentially deadly stuff goes on in the name of production, but it's no different than a building site or a farm.
