rat race

We have to fill START cards every day... they are bureaucrat induced safety reports for when we notice a safe or unsafe behavior, equipment or condition... good idea on paper, stupidly applied as it has been turned into a number's game...
Everybody has to fill one a day, point being be aware of your surroundings at all time; in reality most people just bulls*** cards so their company won't look like slackers on the detail in color and % and all graph, presented on the giant screen at each safety meeting, of who's handing out the most cards... how about a graph on the quality of those cards huh? :S

Other sign this ain't exactly rollin', rig guys fill the cards when they see something, but don't tell the person about it...
They see it as a "yay I have my card for the day!" not as "hey dude how about tying that ladder off before you plummet to your death 90ft below"

useful... really...

At least our Oceaneering cards (who have more or less the same purpose) are kept "in the family" so we do tell each other about it...

gotta love those drones...
