Newpage is so good to us.  They spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours every year to teach us how to beat them at their own games.  We are sent to computer based safety training, safety classes and they develop standard safe operating procedures for us to follow.  Then when use that training to counter their greed and arrogance they cry foul.  What I do is carry around my job training manual, a copy of the mills safety rules and a copy of the SSOP for the job that I am doing that day.  So that if the boss accuses me of a work slow down I pull out those documents and ask, "Which rules do you want me to break or ignore?"  That usually sends him back to his little hole with a purple face and arms flialing wildly over his head cursing. 

Let the mind games commence.

In SOLIDARITY.

Hell some of our SOP's are so outdated its pitiful. Like right now I am training on the Lime Kiln in the Power House, the manual we train by was written in 1994.....hummm, wonder how much has changed since then, they tell me not much has changed, ops did they say not much. So things have changed but yet they fail to get them updated. So I can see where your way of using these documents would help us out

Another way to go is question everything.  Remember it is your safety on the line and if it's the same there as here you get disciplined if you screw up and get hurt otherwise it get covered up.
