“Only ten more minutes”
During a site walk, you see a subcontractor's crew working at height on the robot cell mezzanine without fall protection. The supervisor says: “It's just ten more minutes. The harnesses are in the van.”
The same week, a safety audit finds that temporary guarding around a partly commissioned cell doesn't meet the standard. Fixing it will delay a customer demonstration and trigger a contractual penalty.
And a new provincial regulation adds functional-safety documentation for all machines commissioned after December.
Three compliance questions. On the PMP, the answer to all three is the same in spirit: compliance and safety come first.
