Orcas in captivity and the safety of their trainers
Great documentary..Very interesting from the safety perspective... how do you protect the trainers while they are in the waters with Orca whale?... you can't really without some sort of protective barrier
OSHA (occupational health and safety administration) vs. Sea World... Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) slapped SeaWorld with safety citations and $75,000 in fines. OSHA determined that SeaWorld had willfully violated employee safety by putting their trainers in the water in close interaction with the captive orcas. Regardless it is clear that the orcas will lose. These intelligent, socially complex animals will continue to live dramatically shortened lives in barren tanks and be forced to perform for food.

He doesn't take safety seriously - Darwin Award
I bet this is the guy that talks or sleeps through the safety meetings, never fills out his risk assessments and mocks the safety guy. We all know that guy, there's one on every work site.
