(Repost) Someone shifts the blame onto you – what is that like? Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes

Thread Content

After graduating from university, I managed to get a job as a safety officer at a company, as I had hoped. Yet from that point on, my life took a difficult turn. Originally, I thought the daily job of a safety officer was to look here and there, to check for anything that didn’t meet the standards ； Talk about this, teach that – see who doesn’t follow the rules ； Just take a walk; when in a good mood, give some guidance, and when in a bad mood, issue a fine. Although they don’t hold high positions, anyone will show them some respect after all – safety comes first. With my solid professional skills, I can handle all my tasks with ease. It turns out I was still too stupid and naive! Not long after starting work, reality told me bluntly: I am just another brick in the organization, to be moved wherever needed. Whenever it comes to safety, the credit goes to others, while I end up taking the blame. Soon, I realized deeply that to be a good safety officer, one must first learn to act with caution. It’s so heartbreaking! Since then, I’ve developed three major fears: first, I’m afraid of all the various audits conducted by the company, because the management said that I’m responsible for providing all documents related to safety. Whenever an audit comes around, I usually start begging and pleading well over a month in advance, asking for this document or looking for that data. It often takes going through several departments to obtain a document. Running into unfriendly people only leads to frustration and disappointment. Alas, talking too much only brings tears! The second concern is inspections by the safety supervision agency. At present, the level of safety management in enterprises is generally low; whenever such an agency conducts an inspection, many problems can be identified just by a simple walkthrough. As soon as the Safety Supervision Bureau left, the list of corrective actions was immediately handed to me. Even though the task allocation sheets for corrective actions are always prepared in strict accordance with the company’s role definitions and approved by management, department heads still often get upset and say, “This isn’t our responsibility; stop bringing it to us!” ” Ahh, why am I always the one who gets hurt! I’m afraid of all kinds of inspections: new employee health checks, checks for occupational diseases, regular health assessments for employees, annual inspections of special equipment, tests for toxic and harmful substances in the workplace – even tests of drinking water fall under my responsibility. It’s really excessive! I am fully responsible for this entire series of tasks, no matter how minor; from preparing reports for funding requests and finding suppliers to arranging venues and providing accompaniment and reception. The worst part is that if everything goes well, it’s fine; but as soon as there’s a problem, I’m the one who ends up taking the blame. Forgive my youth and impulsiveness; I feel like giving up at any moment! At a time when I was feeling extremely distressed, the WeChat account of China Safety Production Network shared a document issued by the safety committee of a certain city, which included a \"List of Safety Production Responsibilities for Business and Production Units\" as well as a \"List of Safety Production Duties for Employees at All Levels in Such Units.\" I thought to myself that if our company could establish an effective safety production responsibility system, things would surely look like this... HR department, come here! “\"Safety Production Responsibility Checklist for the Human Resources and Labor Department,\" please take it; thank you! Please prepare promptly the relevant documents such as those related to occupational health, employee health checks, and safety training, and respond to my call! Equipment Department, come here! “\"Equipment Management Department’s Safety Production Responsibility List\", please take it; thank you! Please prepare promptly relevant documents such as special equipment inspection reports and equipment safety management records, and respond to my call! Technical Department, come here! “\"Technical Department’s Safety Production Responsibility List\", please take it; thank you! Please promptly prepare the currently missing safety technical operating procedures, safety technical measure plans, and safety technical measure schemes, and respond to my call! Production Department, come here! “\"Production Scheduling Department’s Safety Production Responsibility List\", please take it; thank you! In the future, any illegal operations or improper instructions within one’s own department must be stopped promptly, and efforts must be made to address the safety hazards present in the production process; please ensure that these actions are carried out without delay! I’ll come for random checks at any time! Team leaders, come over! “\"Workshop (Team/Section) and Work Unit (Shift/Team) Safety Production Responsibility List\" – please take it; thank you! Normally, it is necessary to organize more employees to participate in regular safety production education and training, to help them develop safe working habits. …… Hahaha, just thinking about that sourness is enough to make me laugh! Please allow me to indulge in this for a little longer. Article 19 of the Work Safety Law stipulates that the work safety responsibility system of production and business operation entities shall specify the responsible persons for each position, the scope of their responsibilities, and the assessment criteria, among other things. However, figuring out how to establish an effective safety production responsibility system is a challenge for many enterprise safety managers. Therefore, it is hoped that the relevant authorities will turn this list into an official document; in that way, if anyone tries to shift blame onto us in the future, we can simply point to this legal basis as proof! Tell him to stop talking and read carefully! @Safety officer: If someone shifts the blame onto you... what’s that like?
