if you hit your brakes while already driving slow on the on-ramp you are putting people in danger while trying to merge on a 70mph highway. i can’t believe i have to explain this. had a lady driving in front of me (was not even tail gating at all) at 40 mph and then slammed her brakes right before merging. almost caused an accident because of it. please learn to drive or get off the road forever

I’m wondering which has been better for you guys. consulting or in-house? I’ve only been the in-house EHS guy for a few months at this company and i’m already so burnt out that it’s insane. this place is so far out of safety compliance already that I have practically no time to to focus on systems/bigger picture stuff since i’m constantly putting out fires that burn the brightest. I’m also the only EHS person for the entire place. Not to mention the politics of it all. Constantly having to fight management to get us into compliance and having to explain every tiny details multiple times over so that they’ll finally agree. I’ve heard stories about how all the previous EHS people at this company have all left from a similar burn out. They felt that management wouldn’t let them be safe. And I agree.

i’ve been seriously thinking about leaving and in fact, I have an interview for an EHS consultant position somewhere else. I’ve heard that it might be slightly less stressful?
