I worked many years in a very large world wide steel making company. All injuries were supposed to be reported and investigated by both the company and the union. Close calls were also investigated. The goal was to try to prevent all injuries. Rod's comments were in line with what we did. However, we had a complete medical setup and treated the injuries on-site if possible.

Accident and near accidents were the topics of safety meetings before shifts started. We monitored accidents and tracked safety training.
