No Union, No Protection — When it comes to workplace harm,
hygienists might have a measure it and doctors a diagnosis for
it, but only workers with collective power have much chance of
doing anything about it. And there is no shortage of up-to-the-minute
evidence demonstrating this "union safety effect."
(Hazards, May 2002)
Behavioral Safety Debate Continues —
(American Society of Safety Engineers press release, December
5, 2001) — Behavior-based or behavioral safety, the approach
of applying principles of behavioral science to improve the safety-related
behavior of a group or individual, still remains a relatively
new and argued concept within the safety profession.
'Mr.
Safety' Goes to the Mat: Hanford Whistle-Blower Fights the Company
-- and the Government as Well -- Over Being Fired
— Randy Walli did what he thought was right. An experienced
pipe fitter, he refused to use valves he believed were too weak
for testing pipes at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. He worried
the valves would burst, flooding leak-prone tanks containing
millions of gallons of radioactive waste and injuring himself
and the environment. The Department of Energy, which manages
Hanford, is supposed to protect whistle-blowers such as Walli
who try to make the nation's nuclear installations safer. But
when Walli was laid off, twice, the U.S. Occupational Safety
and Health Administration twice found that he had been illegally
fired in retaliation for raising safety concerns. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
November 26, 2001)
