i was working 5 lifts up on scafolding, when i heard somthing hit the tower turned out my "boss", had asked a young lad to dig a water pipe trench along side the scafold thats dumb for a few reasons, but this lad had never even used a digger before i came off the scafold, had a rageing argument, and went to work for someone else Fair play, sometimes you gotta vote with your feet. Thats not an option for me though, really. |

from what i have worked out, you work for a security company who monitors the security of large organizations, with your office being the center of all the things needed to easily rob from all your clients
what a feckin joke, i would of thought that they would promote you if you pointed out their massive oversite i`ll put some money on the floor, but i`ll have it watched by a man in a hut, who will have a button to push should anything happen but what happens if the man in the hut gets found!! i know what i`d like to know Dan...... where you work excactly

How much does your employer value your personal safety? Mine? They dont seem to give a crap. I work nights in an office, and there are only ever two of us here. A few months ago someone broke in here, he came pretty much face to face with my colleague(through a glass door), and luckily was scared off. He would have expected the building to be empty, he was just here to steal some things, we believe. Since then, the security here has been upgraded, slightly. But, an alarm just activated here(which turned out to be a false alarm), and it brought to light some more issues. For one, we really dont have a great deal of choice but to go check out the alarm ourselves. ok, we dont HAVE to, but we feel like we are sitting ducks if we stay where we are. Thats mainly because somebody might possibly be choosing to enter the building to come directly to where we are working, because we can do certain things from here that might be of use to someone after some highly valuable things(im talking MEGA high). Really, it should be next to impossible for anyone to penetrate the walls to this place. Secondly, this activation highlighted that the alarm system doesnt even work properly, and the alarm points on our map, are incorrect. Lastly, the CCTV is next to useless, with all the lights turned out(we are told to turn the lights out). Worst thing about it, is that i work for a security company. I am not a security guard however, certainly not for the building i work from anyway. I guess i could kick up a big stink about it, but then maybe that will put me on the list of the next batch of people to be made redundant. Anyway, thats my rant over, what are your stories of your employer failing in their duties to protect you? Employee safety in my industry is an issue only when the studio's/production company's/producers' liability is at stake... meaning they'll only make it enough of an issue when they stand to get sued. Otherwise, they could care less about the employees or what happens to them during the course of a TV or film production. I took a pretty bad slip and fall while I was in Panama filming a Christian-themed bio pic back in 2004. They were filming some scenes up on a hill, and I was carrying some fire extinguishers up to where they were filming for fire protection. It had just rained (as it always does down there), and the ground (some red clay-like stuff they actually brought in from elsewhere) had turned into a sticky mud that stuck to the treads in your boots. At least they did that to mine, that is. As I crested the apex of the hill, one of my legs swept out from under me and I ended up doing a Home Alone-like pratfall on the ground. I couldn't move for a good thirty seconds as I literally slid back down the hill. Thank goodness I didn't get smacked by one of those extinguishers. The Christian producers promised up and down that they were gonna get me all checked out and stuff, but THAT consisted of some nutty Panamanian EMT trying to stick me with a rather questionable syringe, which I wasn't having. And THEN they liquidated their "non-profit" corporation acting as their production and started up a whole new "for profit" one, which essentially meant I couldn't go after them for my worker's compensation insurance. |

That was a pretty sneaky trick they played there, Moof!

You don't know the half of it!
They were doing the whole bible-thumping business the whole time, too- they really played up the whole "doing god's work" nonsense, which would be fine if they weren't trying to skim production money at the same time. |
