Fear based on blame is notoriously bad for any process that improve safety. You fire who did it wrong and people will stop putting the right names in the right boxes when signing off stuff, things will be shoved under the rug for fear of retribution.
That's exactly the wrong way to deal with the issue...

- piva00 3y agoMaybe there needs first to be an investigation on what kind of process failure existed for those things even to happen in the first place? If both failed at their jobs there's something a bit more smelly than just "individual responsibility" going on in an industry where process is extremely important for safety, don't you agree?
