Why is Gibby asking for more reporting of site incidents? Is this increase spate of safety incidents, related to the massive layoffs that are affecting the workers morale?

PG must be complaining to the admins of this site. We now know with certainty that he lurks here.
Why are the comments on Kear.ney got removed?
Tireman outsourced EO strategy to Kearney for millions.
His latest is sending upper management at plants on mandatory safety walks. They are declaring some of the d-mbest things I have ever heard. Thanks supply chain manager for your advice that we need to LOTO things between every cut because you just have a feeling about it... Glad this is your first time on the floor.
Now Tireman wants to be on copied on all incidents happen in plants. I think his email going to be spammed
If he spending all his time on Safety then who will be thinking of strategy for EO?
Probably the Prairie du Chien death this month.
if lessons are to be learned from accidents, it is that nightshift and 12 hours shifts do not go together, still can't believe in this day and age company's are still letting employees get physically and mentally drained doing 12 hour nightshifts, accidents will continue to happen. So many unreported from employees, management don't know half of it
Why have an improvement card system if everything is half assed by management? I got hurt from management not following safety protocols in attempt to retaliate. 3m sucks.
I worked over 20 years in manufacturing and later in site logistics and packaging. I made it a point to ALWAYS spend at least 30 minutes out on the shop floor during the morning and another 30 in the afternoon. Just seeing how people were feeling and talking about safe behaviors and also what hazards existed that needed to be addressed.
Even during times of downsizing I refused to give up this time. People appreciated that you cared and listened. I'm sure some leaders like this still exist but budgets have been so strapped for years that people may need to work around hazards instead of getting them fixed.
I recall a time in the 1990s when a safety hazard was such a big concern, the plant manager actually ordered production to be stopped until the problem could be fixed (they had to spend a decent amount of money for the solution).
Today, tiremans SAFETY ALWAYS means he will always fire you if you get hurt. And if the boss shuts down the plant for safety reasons, he will get canned and replaced with a eunuch who with croon and swoon over wee Pete.
Glad I'm out of tiremans dystopia.
Part of this is a direct reflection of Sypervisors leaving plants and sites after morning meetings and not coming back until end of shifts. I don't blame them, with so many so called leaders, and upper level management destroying morale, by never being engaged, and cannot be bothered to leave their homes, or even fly in on occasion, safety is on the back burner. All the employees see it, you better believe WYW is impacting the entire company. I'm not talking about office people, it is tge lack of presence of any leaders.
Tireman wants to show "concern" when his only concern is his 4.2 million comp package and how he can grow this to 5+.
Hammes may have been a buffoon but I doubt he would have figured out a way to cut 40% of the LVS/MTE. Maybe 10 percent.
There’s absolutely a correlation. More turnover, insufficient training, anxiety, short staff… it started with the vaccine mandate, and then there were multiple waves of layoffs. All propagated by the executives.
