Pros
Continual downward spiral during last 5years. Started out quite good. Mostly, solid hard working, earnest people, suddenly in fear for job security, due to panic driven, multilayered, made up for the moment, changing on a whim, safety regulations/rules, that seem to single out scapegoats, rather than identify/rectify any REAL problems, in any meaningful way. That's the good side.
Cons
Locally, the largest problem is how the whole work permit/LOTO/ and safety system is being deployed. Taking no input from the personnel actually familiar with the systems involved, instead relying on multilayered, and sometimes contradictory methods of "safety principles" Regionally (or upper management) Little to no knowledge of systems, components, or structures, countermanding "boots on the ground" knowledge of real problem, forcing time delays (at best), and truncated decisions, contrary to conclusions already drawn and ready to be acted upon by site personnel.
