Listen "DO WHAT I SAY OR GET WRITTEN UP AND FIRED! Part 3"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever been told by your supervisor to perform a job but you knew it was not safe to perform it and were threaten to be written up for insubordination would you perform the task anyway? If your supervisor told you to go into a confined space but you know it must be Air Tested but they want you to go in there anyway would you risk being fired for refusing? What if your supervisor told you to perform electrical duties but the wooded ladder is submerged in water would you take a chance and perform the task anyway?
Did you know that you can write up incident reports of supervisors requesting you to perform unsafe duties? They document you refusing to perform a task but it would never be in their report that it was an unsafe work condition. (OOPS they left that out)! When you document you need to have the Date, Time, what the unsafe condition is and if there were any witnesses present on the day in question. You should CC your supervisors supervisor and follow the chain of command. You will hear from Gwen and Bill continue to tell their stories in the last of this series I DON'T WANT TO DIE SAFETY IS IMPORTANT! Part 3
