I haven't been in a plant where management tells everyone to go crazy and ignore safety because 1. they aren't monsters and 2. lawsuits. They're financially motivated to do the right thing. When I saw the article, my first thought was this person disabled mandatory lockouts because it's convenient.
Have you been in a South Korean plant? They famously have terrible working conditions, though they’re starting to fight back against that.
I'm not insinuating that. I'm thinking that it's more like management putting on a face to say "do all of the safety procedures. You have 30 minutes to fix this issue" when safety procedures take 30 minutes by itself.
