Possibly the most stupid question ever asked

[BPTactical]

Please tell me my tax dollars don't pay this idiots salary.

They do Ray.
This from a college educated and former OSHA employee.

Feel better now?


Not the first time this clown has come up with doozies.
One of my guys got into a minor bumperthumper when we were on snowshift.
I filled out the required accident and supervisors statements and submitted them.
About a week later I get an e mail from him asking for supplemental information.
One of his questions was: Was the employee "multi tasking"?
My reply: Of course he was. The employee in question was performing snow removal duties on I-25. He was operating a tandem dump truck with a 14' truck mounted plow and 10,000 pounds of de-icing material with 2 other trucks at 6 am in the morning.
This means the employee is constantly monitoring the weather, road conditions, equipment conditions, traffic, communication systems and two other assets he is responsible for. Perhaps you should make yourself available during snow removal operations and perform a ride along with one of my operators so you can evaluate the employee requirements and further define "Multi tasking".

Never heard another word about it.

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

Well, at least I have a better understanding of why some government employees "snap" and do crazy stuff.

If I am dead my "living situation" is no longer a "living situation", its a "dead situation".

Is this "dead situation" a zombie thing? We haven't had one of those threads in a while now.
