Life at the plant

[papayahed]

ok so listen. I feel tainted and kinda good at the same time. I'm at another site with a coworker from a third site. Yesterday, one of the employees that work here reported that he saw one of us commit a safe infraction. I knew I didn't commit the infraction but I was still beside myself thinking that everyone else thinks I would do something like that.

When it was first brought up to the site managers one of them said "papayahed doesn't do stuff like that" so that's the good part.

The tainted part is that I still feel like I have a mark against me.


(the other coworker confessed but they did have a pretty good reason)

You're worrying too much.

You've got a character witness, a witness and a confession. No worries.

I guess you're right.

[Paulclem]

Perhaps worrying goes with your line of work in health and safety.

At times. Like when we do big lifts, In my head I know the area is barricade, I know we did the pre lift meeting, I know the guys were trained, but I still stand there and worry that something could go wrong.

That's normal. A less conscientious person would be unsuitable for the job.

We did a fire evacuation last Friday. It's a four storey building - our biggest - and we share it with 7 other agencies. So I had to co-ordinate them and change the way we check the building. Previously we had a complex system of registers and signing in books, and so we went for a cleared zone approach instead. I had enough anx to get the adrenaline going, and it went pretty well. It was nice to meet all the other people too.

You know, I had no idea that was your real name.

My building is being visited tomorrow. I was going to go round and check everything today, but I was too busy to in the end.

Perhaps there'll be time in the afternoon. I'm teaching in the morning. I seem to be working all the time at the moment. I get a couple of weeks off at Easter though, so I shouldn't complain.

my parents were hippies.

Visited? by whom?

Visited? by whom?

By the person who does the venue assessment and who then will give me a list of stuff to put right.

The last time she said - the first floor kitchen was filthy, and I went up and thought - where?

It's better than it was though. The dead plants have gone.

[papayahed]

OK, I broke down and ordered water, but that's the last time.

I have some consultants doing work for me. They are preparing documentation that I need to send to a regulatory agency. I told them back in January that we needed this paperwork quickly, after several phone calls and me hounding them I got the paperwork on wednesday (the consultant told me it would only take two weeks).

I reviewed it yesterday and it's poo. In addition to two major errors they got our company name incorrect. How do you get the name of the company you're working for incorrect??????

[Paulclem]

Time to call a coupl'a people and have them visit.

You're owed a few "favours" surely?
