Anyone on the outside with unbiased opinions and common sense, like myself, knows there are 2 sides to every story. And reading through this dialogue and taking into account all other comments, I definitely would never accept a job at Griffin. Thanks for all the comments everyone. Very useful.

Your so right about proper use of equipment, that is why they purchased a PROPER forklift, after the incident!

It's called "socialist" government. Take money from those that are able to pay. Just another form of taxation used to fund corrupt programs.

You seem to be happy with half the story. No equipment is safe if you don't use it right.

The human error involved was the company did not have the proper forklift for the job, as usual!!!!!! After that, they put in a claim to have the roof fixed, due to the explosion!Got any other facts you would like to share or is that hush hush.

involved company error, end of story

Too bad you never lets the facts get in the way of a good story - you have obviously never seen the reports! The first accident invovled two employees who knew that they were taking a shortcut, the second accident was more complicated, and yes did involve human error. Get the facts or keep your mouth shut!
how can you say they were human error when they were killed by doing an accepted company practice. The company told them to do their job like that and thats why they got fined. wheels first, saftey second
people can`t spell lets call it write your own pay cheque, not wright your pay check, idiot ,thats why you work at griffin you are just that stupid

YOU SURE CAN WRIGHT YOUR OWN CHECK I TAKE HOME A 1000$ ON A BAD WEEK IF YOU WANT MONEY ITS THE PLACE TO BE IF YOU WANT A JOB YOU LIKE TRY GOING BACK TO SCHOOL
nobody at griffin can write their own paycheck, what are you talking about. maybe lots of forced overtime gives you a large paycheck but at what price? (no life) if this co. does not get what they want in the contract they threaten to close the plant. we have tried to get rid of forced overtime but they will NOT give it up. do you want a big STRIKE. maybe close the plant. then nobody wins.

100,000.00 was the maximum fine that could be given. i think workplace health and safety increased it because of incidents like these.
some people thrive on abuse abusing. you belong at griffin. maybe your foreman material. i hope you wear a respirator, that is if you like your lungs.
this person shows their ignorance by calling people names. employees are supposed to work for their employer not die for their employer. the employer is responsible to provide a safe workplace. they didn`t. the dangerous practices that contributed to these deaths are no longer allowed.
i smell a union rep
get your facts straight buddy the company was fine $100,000.00 for the last incident
