The coach said that "in terms of the tragedy that occurred, there's never been a more difficult time in my life." i think if you asked him and he wasnt facing litigation he would say he felt responsible. that being said should he lose his job and never be able to work again, probably not. it was an accident albeit an avoidable one.

I don't care what my employer says. If my life is in danger, I'm not doing it.



Ill find another employer.

I'd like to think we all would, but when you're a 20 year old who is given the responsibility as Sullivan was to do a job, you do it. At that age I'd have to believe he didn't feel he was in any real imminent danger because his superiors didn't stop him or warn him--and to me that's where the problem lies.

LJ;714041 wrote:We have the FACTS of the OSHA report. The problem is that OSHA recognizes employers as single entities only. That means if Bob the Builder saws Joe the Builder's head off on accident, OSHA will hold The XYZ Building Company liable. They will never, ever name a person in a report.
