[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2405412, member: 27991"] I worked in a chemical plant south of Houston. I was a first responder and we got a man down call. The man down was a friend of mine, I had known for years and worked with daily. He had died on top of a railcar while loading it. I drove the ambulance into town to the ER and was at the door to meet his wife when she arrived. He had been diagnosed with a heart murmur when he was in Jr. High. He was told then that one day he would have a heart attack and be dead before he hit the ground, even if he was with the world's greatest heart doctors when it happened, nothing could be done. It could happen the next day or in 70 years, no way of knowing. He played HS and college football, was a great worker, friend, husband and father. At 36, his life ended. OSHA came in 3 days later. 6 'inspectors' interviewed those of us involved with the incident, other workers, supervision and managers. Their final conclusion was 'no fault of the company or those involved' BUT fines were issued of $350k because of expenses incurred from the incident and visit. WTF?????????????????????????? target of opportunity = YES never let a crisis go to waste = YES goobermint power trip = YES workers any safer because of the inspection or goobermint oversight = HELL NO elimination of OSHA, EPA, Energy, HUD, Education = Definitely. Dept. of Energy established in 1978 by 'Pres. Peanut' to "get us off of foreign oil". Annual budget of $550M and they have done such a marvelous job. [/QUOTE]
