Possibly the most stupid question ever asked

[BPTactical]

So at work I get this slip of paper with one question from our "Safety Officer":
"If you were killed or injured at work, how would it affect you?"

My reply: Please read your question. I believe in 20+ years here this has to be the stupidest interrogatory I have ever had set before me.
My answer is, and I am going out on a limb here but I believe I would be dead or injured.




Your tax dollars at work

I have seen this question as well. Except when I asked what they were thinking, they explained along the lines of they wanted to know how it would affect my living situation ("life"). i.e. Is my wife taken care of, plan for bills, debts, etc....

It's a social question. Told 'em it's none of their business.

Sorry Bear, still a stupid question.

If I am dead my "living situation" is no longer a "living situation", its a "dead situation".
Now if they would have stated it correctly such as "if you are killed/injured at work how would this affect your family?"
Ok, fair question then.
Also agree that the majority of "safety officers" are cut from a different bolt of cloth.
We used to have a really good one that was a maintenance guy originally then was no longer physically able to work in the field. They made him a safety officer and he really was great, he knew the job the guys do and always had the best interest of the guys in the field.
Then they put this other guy in that never spent a day in the field.
Administrators.........Aarrgghhh

Answer: "If I were to be killed at work, I'd be very sad and would need some time off."

Turn it in and be totally serious!
