Zero tolerance is all about protecting managements a**e, nothing else.
It does zilch for true safety, it just provides the company litterally with a "get out of jail"card by allowing them to point the finger at the employee who must have broken one of the thousands of rules and regulations issued by management for the incident/accident to occur.
We seem to have it all backwards nowadays; something is seen as dangerous when an arbitrary rule gets broken, because professionals are no longer trusted to use training, experience and good judgement to arrive at decisions. Everything nowadays had to be according to a set format, so no thinking and especially no critcal thinking is either required nor allowed.
There was no danger, the situations were fully under control. But to save face a few experienced professionals will get into trouble because nobody dares to explain to the public that real people take real decisions that affect real lives, hundreds and thousands of times a day, to make everything happen in this world. And sometimes there are different ways of doing things that are equally safe but simply different.
