Safety Meetings with a mixed crowd

[hotwiretamer]

Due to our meetings being video taped; I cant excuse anyone until the meeting is over. But if there is something I want to discuss with just linecrew (off the video) I will ask everyone else to leave and then we talk without any office personnel or supervisors. Our safety meetings are slowly evolving to be more open to topics not always covered (like sleep deprivation, illness, human interaction) so its not so rigid and safety only.

Wow, video taped? Really? Our guys would clam up in two seconds if they knew they were being taped. That sucks!!

...........Ill agree,guys would clam up and Id think the meetings would be more quiet,which would make them more boring.It could also be bad for some supervisors and anyone that has trouble reading.We had a really good supervisor,and he still holds that position,,,,,,,,when it came time for reading in front of a large crowd,he just didnt do too well................had someone once video guys pulling into the service center,parking,and all,you would be surprised to see that lineman aren't too good on the screen...........the $hit we do,lol,,,,,,,and worse the pole top rescues...........I swear those dumbies are getting heavier,or im just getting older.

You ain't kidding, twenty years ago those dummies felt like they were filled with cotten.
Now I think they fill em with lead. If I ever get that fat and heavy and need a pole top rescue, just cut my strap. Maybe the impact with the ground will get my heart started again.
