As part of Compliance (which is an element of my conditional employment), I had to take a Life/Fire safety class.
Essentially, it said:
1) Stay calm
2) Evacuate immediately
3) Don't catch fire

Sometimes safety training seems really stupid and childish...................but that's only because people do stupid and childish things and get hurt.

OSHA...........they can be a huge PIA..........but usually only after the employer has REALLY fucked up. In my experience (professional experience in this field), OSHA will WORK with employers who wish to make the workplace safer. Cooperation as such will almost always positively affect your bottom line (keep in mind the price of your WC insurance premiums go up dramatically even after relatively benign accidents). Also.........if you are actively working to improve your safety program (and have evidence to demonstrate this), OSHA will sometimes stay off your back.
OSHA supports "progress....not perfection" provided you're not frequently sending people to the ER.
Getting hurt on the job isn't macho or required to get the job done.
You can work safely efficiently.
If you accept the status quo for safety, you accept that you will maime and occasionally kill someone.
If you were a trainer, what would you do (that would not get you in trouble) to make sessions more inviting/engaging/comfortable?
.
CPR
First Aid
Forklift
Das it!
I mean, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?!
Poor safety endangers employees and cost money in higher insurance costs.Getting hurt on the job isn't macho or required to get the job done.You can work safely efficiently.If you accept the status quo for safety, you accept that you will maime and occasionally kill someone.

Instructors owe it to their students to put the "fresh" back in refresher training.
