How safe is safety

Safety, it is a two edged word (yes, word not sword). One side is a state of being safe, the other is the group or person who is to keep you practising safe work procedures.
Lets take an average day in the life of the 'Safety Guy'. We will look at the journal written by this person, and get the feel of how it is to be 'REALLY' safe.

I got up today, the floor was cold, something must be wrong with the furnace, I will check it later. I has to eat raw eggs, for some reason the stove would not start, it just clicks and clicks and clicks and clicks. I will have to check that later also. Hmmm... my clothes are not dry. I ran them extra in the dryer, but still they are damp. Maybe I should have it checked, later. Wow it really stinks outside, like rotten eggs. Someone should call the trash people and get the rotten trash out of here. Well the drive to work wasn't that bad, I am sure glad I wasn't part of that bad accident that happened behind me, I would have been late. I should take a stroll around the site to see what's going on. Ooo... that puddle of oil on the floor should be cleaned up, I wonder who will do that. Hey, that trash can is blocking the fire extinguisher, someone should move it. No one want to use those safety chains to block off that area, I should have them removed. I wonder if the rail is powered up, one light is on the other is off. I should let someone else know about it. Hey, what are those two guys doing? That is not the proper procedure for doing that! I will really have to tell their supervisor about it. Wow, I am so great! I have emailed the supervisors about all of the hazardous conditions and practices I saw, and it only took me all day to write it. I can go home now with a clean concious.

While this may seem a little extreame, all of these events (with the exception of the gas problem, you got that one right?) happened. Our 'Safety Guy' like to stick his nose into areas that it doesn't belong, but refuses to act safely or ensure that other do also. We have had very serious incidents on our site, and yes OSHA was involved, and still he has a job! I was a lucky one that escaped a potentially deadly situation that he caused by not following procedures. The guy after me was not so lucky, even though he followed the same procedure set by the 'Safety Guy'.

Am I bitter, YOU BET! No one should be this unsafe and still have a job where safety is vital.
