That's the KEY! I've done many dangerous things that I wouldn't allow employees to do. I've then told my employees that if I ever heard about or caught them doing the same I'd fire them before they could get that next breath out. I've said to invigorated new employees, "If you ever want your last check in cash just do the foolish things I do and I'll pay you on the spot, then I'll kick your butt all the way to the nearest gate."

We need employers like you. As a safety officer if have had to deal with countless "foolhardy" workers. they can do the job faster if only: (1)They can crawl under suspended equipment, (2)ride the steel being hoisted by crane, (3) work without a sling, (4) work without tethered tools, (5) Walk the rafters without a safety line...It goes on. But the safety offical often is critized (under the breath) by the very workers they are trying to protect, hence the employer must come in and back the safety professional up.

Now about your actions, have you ever heard of setting an example?

Oh yes I know about setting examples. Mine were "Never do this" LOL

Actually, I would tell anyone who asked that I was the one who had his life savings invested and at risk in this jobs completion on schedule and that is the reason why I will not allow someone whose only risk was a 45 hour a week job.
