[MCOH-EH] Safety procedures

Safety procedures either increase safety and should therefore be followed
and enforced, or the procedure is bad and it should be re-evaluated,
rewritten or abandoned.

I don't understand how one can be comfortable with a safety procedure that
isn't followed. This is fake safety. Is the idea to just have a procedure
so one can say they have a procedure, or is the idea to actually help
protect workers, even if that means protecting them from themselves.

If workers can't see through their non-prescription safety glasses then one
cannot be serious that "wear your safety glasses" is a realistic policy.

Similarly I have noticed workers peeking out from under face shields
because they can't see clearly through the shield. This is another example
of fake safety.
