apologies,
that wasn't intended to say that i don't believe safety systems and procedures, human factors and the like are not needed, i do believe that they are, however in SOME cases and instances they go too far and make a simple task waaaaaaayyyy to complicated, personally i have benefited greatly from human factors training
and no 'cutting corners' is not in the slightest what i meant, it was intended to be that common sense isn't all that common any more, nor is the ability to make decisions, i know a great many people that 'waffle' on decisions until it no longer matters and then they go off shift.
yes i know that a company needs to have procedures, and that i need to be educated and follow them, i didn't intend to sound as though the procedures should be ignored if inconvenient, but they can also be changed
