John, I get really angry when I hear a company does not emphasize safety. In my career the one way to get into pure hell was to cause a safety issue. I am still affected by the experience. It seems everywhere I go I see things that are simply not acceptable in the world of responsible industry. As a retiree I look back with a clean conscience on my personal performance on this issue. I never lacked corporate support if I raised an issue. Safety is very cost effective as injuries are very expensive!
