Here's the BS that gives safety a bad name.
A number of years ago when doing a project at Oscar Mayer Weiner in Madison I got wrote up by their safety official when we were assembling a crane in the parking lot. There plant rules were that a critical lift sheet had to be filled out for any lift over 3,000 lbs even if you had a 100 ton crane with a tight in 3,000 lb load. I did the paperwork for the first track lift. We moved to the other side, still on asphalt hoisting with a 100 ton crawler crane with only base boom and tip installed, and close in. I got wrote up for not doing another critical lift sheet. That weekend a barrier rental company, that the plant hired to install hi-way barriers around my construction trailer, delivered and set them with the boom on the delivery truck. On Monday I got wrote up 14 times as they set the barriers without any critical lift paperwork. I had to appear before a safety committee that laughed when I told them it was their sub, not mine. A few weeks later one of my labors, and of course me also, got wrote up for not having his extension cord hung form the ceiling as was required. He was the only person in a finished, completely empty 40 ft. square freezer, vacuuming grout flakes where we repaired the tile floor. It was written that he could pull the vacuum over his own cord causing a potentially serious hazard. This was a project that I did not finish. After toughing it out for 6 months, spending more time on Bull Sh*t than on construction, it was get me out of here or see you later. The plants hired construction safety inspector could dream up anything. Just heard the other day that the plant is closed down or about to be. Wonder why?
