California Utility Admits Lying about Safety Data to Win Bonuses Occupational Hazards
Southern California Edison Co. admits that some managers hid injuries and inadvertently omitted data to improve safety statistics, thereby winning $35 million in performance bonuses for the company from the state.
The utility admitted the wrongdoing to the California Public Utilities Commission, and promised to return the $35 million to the agency.
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, Southern California Edison found that in some instances, managers and supervisors failed to report minor first aid cases requiring bandages or ice packs. In as many as 50 cases, supervisors tried to influence medical treatment and lied about the seriousness of injuries. Some managers also asked employees to use vacation time following an injury, rather than use sick leave or disability leave.------------------------------------------- posted 8:51 AM :: reference link ::
