Unsolicited Shop Advice?

[Toolmaker51]

Safety draws multitudinous reactions from me. Having entered the work force well before initiation of OSHA, safety was an OJT or subject introduced by trade classes. Those were of a general nature to start, with specifics about the process at hand. I recall never missing a single test question about safety. So the background established logic which continues to prove advantageous with no damaged appendages.
Mechanical safety is simple, really easy, when you get down to it. Electrical and chemical safety are a way different deal, with myriad invisible actions. I'd never hesitate to inform, warn, or reprimand as fits the situation.
Then OSHA popped up. Safety now, seems to be administrators form of paranoia. My belief, inexperienced administrators inject personal fears to a workforce that did not benefit from trade school; or especially the mentor-ship of old shop hands.
Thus, I've probably attacked (verbally) 10x quantity of those white-collar knuckleheads compared to assisting shop-hands. Shop-hands will know and respect that input; which I believe is a good balance.
And for each wave of apprentices that show up it will be the same, until their second offense. Will likely have to make an example of one or two. My tools, my machines, my building, my insurance.
