Great video. Sometimes that is the only way to get thru some of our field crews when it come to taking safety seriously.

I understand the humor tone but the video does not do it for me.

"Be safe if not the big bad bully will show up."

The focus should be on the systems and procedures. Although workers are often blamed, the reality in many cases is due to shortfalls at the management level. Look up articles by Fred Manuele, interesting to read about the shifts in the culture.

The movie reminds me more of a few party chiefs I came across in my younger days...

FWIW - in Canada where Focus is located, managers can and have been held criminally liable for employees being injured on the job.

I worked at Focus a few years ago and, if I remember correctly, new hires had about 40 hours of mandatory safety training before they could step foot in the field. Managers had additional training in incident investigation. Every morning, every crew had a safety briefing with their manager to go over the specific hazards on that day's job. If a crew was out late and didn't check in by 6:00 PM using a satellite tracking system our procedure called for their manager and the office safety officer (a full time position) to be back in the office by 6:15 and a seach to be underway by 6:30.

The video may be light hearted, but I've never seen a surveying firm as committed to safety as Focus.

Out of curiosty, what was their safe work procedures for stockpile surveys or topographic surveys of crests and toes of rock quarries?

I liked the next video about "stuff" surveyors don't say where the guy asks
"go get me that 8 pound least squares adjustment tool."
That was funny!
