Having a workplace health and safety committee may give you a sense of protection,
but how truly productive is it?
ACTUAL TWEET DURING A SIC MEETING:
Malibu;I'm ready to light my face on fire because I'm so bored -I am in a stupid meeting because some moron nominated me to be on the ‘oh so fun’ safety committee and its all really dummbbb--I'm eating a piece of good chocolate though ! Cake5550:Well, you can give me more grilled pineapple ideas if you'd like...? Or...Give some more details about your latest dates? :-)
Malibu;Ha, ha– will later----I joined my previous company's safety committee to get out of work –needed the break Cake5550;Just nod a few times and say ‘that’s right’ – they will think you care
Malibu;I am the least safe person around, seriously. I trip over thin air, I get tangled in cords and my jacket and hair I occasionally choke while breathing. I am totally accident prone. meeting is laaaaaame. Didnt help that I was already bored to begin with. I finished my day's work at 10am :( I'm ready to drink now
Malibu;At my job we have safety committee HATS. If your wondering if the committee members have to wear them to the meeting, the answer is yes. What a crock of doo-doo.-makes the mangers look good though Cake5550;I was going to ask in the meeting if we get Safety Committee Sashes , but I bit my tongue and made a lot of faces instead. They could at least make an effort to show that they really care about safety—gotta go-meeting over-call u tonite
