As an hourly worker, I took on this challenge more than 10 years ago. Expectations were high, available resources low and authority. Over the years I have positively impacted the safety process by creating new demonstrations, analyze data in a new way, creating new methods and affecting the number of accidents and injuries. This job was in addition to my regular duties as a driver. I am back in school for my MBA and I have a family. I have often joked with a manager that I was buring a candle at four ends. I did this partly because I wanted to highlight that my duties on the safety committee should be part of my job not in addition to my job. Although I made changes to my life on my own accord, the article is very apt considering the detriment and solutions lists. One last thought. Taking time to meditate often gives one clarity of thought yielding better solutions that can comparitively be better implemented.
