Friday Night Rants?

[eldog]

Not to mention the time taken to fil in the WSSP and identify and isolate the hazards, means there is a lot less time available to do productive work that could result in injuries.

Lots of jobs in my line of work although similar are quite different. Each employee has strengths and weaknesses and I tackle each task differently depending on who and what is available. All I see is a lot more work for me. Getting anyone to sign that they understood the task and instructions and how to proceed is difficult at present. Funny how those who won't sign are usually the biggest moaners and full of their own importance.

How many times have you noticed that no matter what the training people will still do stuff their way. Some people are just accidents waiting to happen. I have several.people on staff who I have to watch that they dont kill themselvesome even though they try hard they just seem to do things wrong. Others won't work together but are best friends during non work time. People are funny...

meh.

Its a theory. Loose battery contacts, speaker arcing... Its possible.
I dont actually care, i was just putting it out there for consideration.

Not to mention how often I have gotten out of a car and gotten zapped when closing the door-static electricity

All the latest guff that has to be done now, a lot of places where I used to work, have been doing for years anyway.
People that are accidents waiting to happen and need constant supervision, Are they really great employees when its said and done?

Yes, most loyal and hard working people I know. Would have ten of them over the usual akl knumb nuts. Well worth it even if they make me worry a little. If they are unsure they will ask. Much better than those who don't but should know better. I follow what I think are best praticse sometimes I get it wrong, at least I own up to it. It's just now we have to document more. It's getting staff buy in that won't happen-too much old school....

The best way of getting senior buy in is peer pressure and reverse phycology. That's the way the forestry is getting some very good buy in on the long overdue drug testing being implemented.
The way it works is to make the whole entire team do a drug rehabilitation course when one member of the team fails a drug test.

If we transpose it to safety practices. Use the power of boredom and constructive lazyness.
If all the team members have to say additional and boring seminars, because one guy won't wear gloves or safety glasses and such like, pretty soon the peer pressure effect will work for you to ensure buy in. Rather than needing a big stick.

Meh, only did a 495km trip but caught up with the Canterbury Rabble (Rubble?) at Wanaka for drinks, eats & swims on Friday night, brekky at Cardrona, wrestled the land-barge through the Crown Range (not the ideal bike for that bit) and had a blast at the Beaumont Rally!

Better than spending my Friday night ranting at all you wankers on KB....

I understand but I don't expect that to work. It is very much a team of individuals.
Some are mates during breaks. Very much individuals during work unless I am there holding them together (they don't really like that but suffer it-I am like a buffer)

Team of individuals sounds like the warriors
Just for an experiment try it out, you might be surprised.
I coach League when a kid misbehaves I send all the entire of the team on a run around the field (other than the kid or kids who actually misbehaved, this is the sneaky bit)
Understandably rest (those unfairly punished) get pretty f-ed off with the treatment, because of the smug (they always are when they don't think they are getting punished because he didn't have to do the run)
You can be assured the person misbehaving soon gets the message from the rest.
Trust me, you don't often get repeat offenders.
I call it the consequences conformity effect.

Another ploy that works is after someone has clearly done something wrong, is to schedule the meeting about it for the next day or later on. Rather than immediately.
Time spent in suspense considering all possible ramifications is a great physiological ploy.

Coaching your league tem would be a breeze compared to this, they turn up to want to participate/play.

Time for them is better at home with their 'little' family problems.
Work is only to get paid.
Don't start me on sick leave.....

Trouble is enjoy my job when everything starts to work..... it pays for my mbike.
its like trying to start an old 2T motor on a cold day with old fuel, maybe it will maybe it wont, start then run for a bit.

Thanks for that Husabooger,

I'm not sure if my boy would want to have you as your coach, he would probably stop playing straight away ( assuming he was the non offender ).

He's only there to have fun, it's not the bloody army.

Thanks for your input how many years have you volunteered your free time time and coached for?
Have you ever considered, its pretty hard for kids to actually have fun playing sport, when there is other kids kids foot tripping, hitting others and generally causing issues........
Plus in case you haven't noticed rugby and league are team sports, they totally rely on group discipline.
Don't worry, I am pretty sure your kid would be an absolute angel. With absolutely no issues at all.
