Story missing from my TV: Six Dead at Colorado Dairy

19. Not Been My Experience

If a company takes safety seriously & provides the safety gear, the employees are happy to protect themselves.
The problem is, despite the regulations & the abundance of cheap safety gear, some companies pay only lip service to EH&S.
In 2025, incidents like this are almost always a company culture deficiency.
I will project that if the company had strict safety policies, that first worker would have donned a harness & a respirator. But, he probably didn't consider it because the company doesn't encourage it, or better yet, demand it.
Every site where I worked, owned by a big company, was committed to it. I've been in a few smaller plants where the penny pinching bled to safety.
I couldn't wait to get out of those places.
