I thought TriMet hired a Safety Director to keep everyone safe.

Here, the entire issue can be traced squarely right back at TriMet.

An object should not fall from a maintenance vehicle - that is, in the eyes of my employer, a "preventable incident". And given the severity at my employer, that could also be cause for immediate termination. (Given my employer also hauls much larger and heavier objects on its trucks.)

An employee was in a rush, failed to secure all objects and do a full safety walkaround of his or her vehicle. The result was a shutdown of a good portion of the TriMet system for over an hour, inconveniencing thousands of riders. All, because ONE person took a short-cut and did not follow the safe course of action.

And we have a Safety Director that was hired to instill safety in the agency; clearly that individual is not doing his job either...
