Posted 17-May-2009 03:04 pm        Discussion : They just dont care

Well I have been a rep at my work for about 6 months and there is a general feeling in my workplace by the bosses, and that is "who cares". As long as their product is coming through and they're making things go smoothly, they don't really care about health and safety. Even the floor bosses don't really know anything about OH&S. Shouldn't they? Sometimes I feel like I'm losing the battle, because they aren't really interested in making things right. Isn't it our job to change the attitude in the workplace for Health and Safety? I'm trying but I just get frustrated. Does anyone else feel this way?

Go to the Worksafe VIC webpage and have a look at the prosecutions under latest news and events and print them out and leave them on the Managers' desks. This should send a reminder of their obligations and the consequences
