Safety is our number one priority.
Not efficiency.
- avelis 4y agoThose two aren't mutually exclusive IMO.
- CodeWriter23 4y agoWhen you have to re-anchor your safety harness to move 5 feet it's kind of difficult to maintain efficiency.
- pixl97 4y agoWhen you have to close the site and scrape someone's brains up it's really difficult to maintain efficiency.
- baremetal 4y agoConstruction safety laws are written in blood.
- CodeWriter23 4y agoIndeed. BTW my comment was not anti-safety.
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoFeel-good rallying cries like this make for cheap virtue points but are completely meaningless in a reality where pretty much nothing is a binary choice with a low number of variables. For example, it's easy to sit in an air-conditioned office and say "thou shalt not overload the trucks" but when you actually drag your ass to somewhere you can observe the conditions in which the per-load work is being done it becomes clear that much analysis must be done to figure out if more trucks at 80k is in fact safer than fewer trucks at 120k.
- pixl97 4y agoBeing that braking distance will increase around 250ft at 65mph I would say it makes a pretty massive difference. That is unless you want to limit the 120k LB truck to 55mph which causes its own issues.
