OH&S (SMS) and QA considered in the one discussion?
The last company I worked for, SMS was discussed in detail at every monthly staff meeting. QA was only addressed when people weren't ticking the boxes on the QA Sheet. Crossing an item out to say you did not do it (or that it was irrelevant to the work performed) was frowned upon. Putting something bad in your SMS Diary was met with enthusiasm and positive action.
QA, in my industry...and probably the same for AME's means everyone is ticking the boxes to say they did that item. It has little bearing on the quality of the actual work performed.
SMS, in my industry means, everyone is looking out for each other, to make sure we all go home each night, and with all relevant body parts still attatched.
SMS is FAR more important than QA!
