Time for Safety People To Step Up Or Shut Up
New article “A @#$# Storm In Texas” by Phil LaDuke on his blog bound to put some noses out of joint!
"There have been three workplace explosions since the one that left a still unknown number of people dead in West, Texas. Safety professionals need to either put up or shut up. Either they save lives (and are therefore responsible for workplace fatalities) or admit that what they do has very little direct influence on worker injuries. I know I will draw a lot of criticism for this, but I thought it needed to be said. I hope you will read it with an open mind and tell me what you think. Phil La Duke
