> Management (including myself) repeatedly tells field workers that their safety is more important than making a bit more money You made me remember the spring of 2000, the first time when I worked for a company that actually thought that way. (edit: worked for some good companies before that as well, but what I mean is before that, security was always either up to the individual.) I got scolded for working without proper gear, and after a couple of issues (tiny rebar splinter in the eye, later a speck of concrete in the eye, both happening despite wearing mandatory eye protection) I suddenly realized I had my manager hanging over me to try to figure out if there was something that could be improved in the work flow. I loved working there, they paid very well, and here is the thing that looked crazy at the time but is obvious now: they had one of the best bottom lines in the city.
