[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 1683348, member: 12099"] I would.... I work for an oil company :) Anyway, there is more to it then what everyone has mentioned. Most all companies have a safety rating which is set by recordable incident rates, precautions, safety training etc. A lot of companies won't work with any company that has a rating under a certain point. Meaning you could be the best company around at what u do but the company you bid a job for won't even look at you because your safety rating is to low. It's a big deal in construction and real big in the oil industry which I'm in. The biggest problem I have with it is we have all these HS&E people who make all these unneccissary rules and policies to try and justify their jobs. Plus we get a bunch of pencil pushing idiots up front who have never worked anywhere but behind the desk trying to tell us how we can and can't do our job. None of these guys could do our jobs but they think they know better. What gets me is they come out and tell us every way we CAN'T do our jobs but never tell us how we can. When we ask them how are we supposed to do this, they just say we don't know figure it out... But don't do it this way. [/QUOTE]
