Idea to increase safety on oil rigs
hell, this could work in many industries.

Did you see the thread about the BP three little pigs memo? Well, here it is: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8415249

I propose instead of "cost containment", a system of "injury containment"


DISCLAIMER :
Since some self righteous wise a** is bound to reply to this telling me that this is either illegal, unethical or unconstitutional, or, alternatively, that this does not go far enough, etc. (what, you didn't know that we had those here?) I want to make it clear that this is :sarcasm: If you are :sarcasm: challenged, proceed at your own risk, and
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME


For every worker maimed, injured or killed while on the premises under the control of the corporation, one member of management (starting at the top) will be required to undergo the same, i.e., an eye for an eye.

Seems simple enough to me.

1. Or, simply have the execs presence on-site be required. They should risk their lives
just as workers do.

BTW - I love your suggestion. Actions need to have consequences for there to be any control.
