I’m sorry but if I work somewhere and find out that a coworker nearly killed me after being politely told not to a half dozen times, I’m going to be furious.

Okay?

I have worked on manufacturing floors and egregious safety violations are an immediately fireable offense. Minor violations get one or two serious talks followed by…. Once again, termination. Someone who can’t be bothered to follow safety protocols shouldn’t remain on the floor.

Yelling at people is not only a great way to make for a hostile workplace for everyone in the general vicinity, its also not a particularly effective way to deal with the problem.
