For starters, do you work in any mines or quarries overseen by MSHA? This is a serious question that has the potential to cost thousands.
Yea that's for sure! Some of the "tools" we had used for decades at the quarry with no problems all of a sudden were determined to be death traps by upper ups in the company when MSHA started taking notice.
We never had a problem locally but with a large multi-national company like where I worked one fine the other side of the country scares the crap out of every place in the company.
The one thing that got me was when a job that had been done for decades at our quarry with some locally fabricated tools was farmed out to a small two man repair crew that used methods less safe than we would have used! Guess management thought that them being sub-contractors insulated the company from any fines. Never heard if that was true or not, but I bet if someone got hurt bad or killed some lawyer would have a field day on the company!
Recall one of the old-timers back when I first started in the late 1960's would often say "If the tools not right, the man's not bright!" And I can guarantee old PeeWee as they called him did his job with many homemade tools and I don't recall ever hearing of him missing a day due to injury!
