That is a very important point I think.
OH&S was borne from the unions and eventually taken over by the mindsets that never gave a crap in the first place.

What we find now is that OH&S breaches are shuffled along to being a resposibility of the employee and not those who threaten dimissal if the appropriate shortcuts are not taken.
There has found to be far too much power within the morals of OH&S to allow the unions to be preaching to us about what is right and what is wrong about profits vs. acceptable risk in the workplace. Now we have an extremely skewed version of what the priorities really are in reagrds to addressing immediate hazards.

The truth is that practically all companies still don't give a crap about OH&S as long as the job is being done and as long as there is nothing to affect the bottom line profits.
If somedody dies whilst doing their job, then the company will still not give a damn, as long as it doesn't cost them money.
The message will always be missed there, the control of OH&S needs to be in the hands of those who cared and created in the first place, not those who are controlled by money.i

Here you go sprint it's American but you get the drift being a self made righty without the need for us with a social justice conscience, just insert Leftard for Liberal

A Day in the Life of Joe Republican. Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because a liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because a liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer’s medical plan because liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because a liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because a liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because a liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because a liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because a liberal didn’t think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. Its noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because a liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because a liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because a liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers’ Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans. The house didn’t have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because a liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn’t mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: “We don’t need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I’m a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.

Yes to try but another rightard little bit further removed than the restaurant/supermarket owner say the guy who grows the crops that are fed to the pigs decides to use a chemical thats cheap & increases yield but does not breakdown, concentrates itself in the pork fat & is harmful to humans.
Over the course of 1 or 2 years eating some yummy bacon once a month Joe suddenly feels ill & dies because of this harmful chemical in his body, but the grain grower made an extra couple of 1000, in a perfect rightard world this would be acceptable because it would be the grain growers right to use whatever the hell he pleases on his crops to maximize his profits.

Are you sure?
Everyone's making money no problem there
So why in a world were money is the indicator of self worth would there be an investigation into poor old pleb Joe's death?
He's just a worker plenty more of them.

Thanks for sharing, SC. You're very brave.

Mind you, you didn't own up to being a rightard. Now that would be courageous.

Who's Joe?
