After attending the Parsons School of Design in New York City, Terzian moved back to the Bay Area in 1951 to pursue a career in interior design.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sculptor, Terzian was among a group of artists who were booted from a San Francisco warehouse space that was demolished to make way for Levi’s Plaza in the early ’70s. But being booted from the space did little to stop Terzian’s artistic pursuits. He doubled down in 1974 and started a new company, Patterns Ltd., which created found object-based industrial design products that ranged from furniture to wall installations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seeing the potential in a superfund site\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years after the Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard was decommissioned in 1974, a private contractor began subletting the leftover structures to various people, including Terzian, who saw the hidden potential of the stark military buildings. They were cheap to rent and had good light — though not much else. The buildings were in the middle of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.asbestos.com/shipyards/hunters-point-naval/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">superfund site\u003c/a>, rife with industrial contamination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the ensuing years, with the help of his son David and daughter Paula, Terzian converted the shipyard’s barracks into artist studios. By 1984, he had created about 300 such spaces, and in the process, established The Point, one of the largest artists’ colonies in the United States. (For context, \u003ca href=\"http://www.carmelcalifornia.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carmel By the Sea\u003c/a>, another massive artist colony in California, only houses about 100 artists.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found there were so many people that I knew that needed space, and wanted to rent space and sublease from me,” Terzian said in the documentary \u003ca href=\"http://www.thepointart.com/film.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003ci>Making the Point \u003c/i>\u003c/a>about the transformation of the Hunter’s Point Shipyard into an arts hub. “I said, ‘Hell, this must be a money maker.’ I really felt that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Making the Point\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/SFZtAFgcr6U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1980s, Terzian hosted one of the first recorded “open studios” events, where members of the public could wander around the resident artists’ workshops and potentially buy their art without having to go through a gallery or dealer. \u003ca href=\"http://shipyardartists.com/open-studios/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hunter’s Point Open Studios\u003c/a> has gone on on to become a landmark event in the San Francisco cultural calendar, attracting hundreds of people each year.

The battle began in 1985, when the Navy refused to renew its lease with Terzian’s contractor landlord due to plans to start up the shipyard again and house the USS Missouri there. A coalition of artists and environmentalists came together to oppose the military’s intentions, and for the next four years they succeeded in stopping evictions and derailing the housing of the famous \u003ca href=\"http://pearl-harbor.com/missouri/missouri.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World War II battleship\u003c/a>. The Navy officially canceled its plan to house the “Mighty Mo” there in 1989, and in 1991 the base was officially closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without Jacques a lot of Bay Area artists could not have found affordable studio space, and that was in the 1980’s before it got to be almost impossible,” Karen Mangan commented on Hunters Point Shipyard Artists’ \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/shipyardartists/posts/10154348332627246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook post\u003c/a> about Terzian’s death. “A huge thank you goes out to Jacques and his family for helping so many artists In this very important way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terzian, who would joke that he wasn’t an artist, continued to make art throughout his life. He participated in open studios and had a retrospective of his work in 2011. He was also a fan of opera and classical music. When he died peacefully in bed at his home in Walnut Creek, he was listening to an oboe concerto, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Jacques-Terzian-founder-of-Hunters-Point-artist-9140452.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is survived by his two sons and three daughters, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. \u003c/p>\n\n",

(For context, \u003ca href=\"http://www.carmelcalifornia.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carmel By the Sea\u003c/a>, another massive artist colony in California, only houses about 100 artists.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found there were so many people that I knew that needed space, and wanted to rent space and sublease from me,” Terzian said in the documentary \u003ca href=\"http://www.thepointart.com/film.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003ci>Making the Point \u003c/i>\u003c/a>about the transformation of the Hunter’s Point Shipyard into an arts hub. “I said, ‘Hell, this must be a money maker.’ I really felt that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Making the Point\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/SFZtAFgcr6U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1980s, Terzian hosted one of the first recorded “open studios” events, where members of the public could wander around the resident artists’ workshops and potentially buy their art without having to go through a gallery or dealer. \u003ca href=\"http://shipyardartists.com/open-studios/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hunter’s Point Open Studios\u003c/a> has gone on on to become a landmark event in the San Francisco cultural calendar, attracting hundreds of people each year.

The battle began in 1985, when the Navy refused to renew its lease with Terzian’s contractor landlord due to plans to start up the shipyard again and house the USS Missouri there. A coalition of artists and environmentalists came together to oppose the military’s intentions, and for the next four years they succeeded in stopping evictions and derailing the housing of the famous \u003ca href=\"http://pearl-harbor.com/missouri/missouri.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World War II battleship\u003c/a>. The Navy officially canceled its plan to house the “Mighty Mo” there in 1989, and in 1991 the base was officially closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without Jacques a lot of Bay Area artists could not have found affordable studio space, and that was in the 1980’s before it got to be almost impossible,” Karen Mangan commented on Hunters Point Shipyard Artists’ \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/shipyardartists/posts/10154348332627246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook post\u003c/a> about Terzian’s death. “A huge thank you goes out to Jacques and his family for helping so many artists In this very important way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terzian, who would joke that he wasn’t an artist, continued to make art throughout his life. He participated in open studios and had a retrospective of his work in 2011. He was also a fan of opera and classical music. When he died peacefully in bed at his home in Walnut Creek, he was listening to an oboe concerto, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Jacques-Terzian-founder-of-Hunters-Point-artist-9140452.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is survived by his two sons and three daughters, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The Greeley plant is under the jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Denver office, and a subject for the team of inspectors there who check workplaces for violations of federal safety standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Embarrassingly Low' Fines\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Horner's death triggered a flurry of activity for those government regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law required the conveyor belt he was working on to be covered with a guard, meant to prevent such accidents. If OSHA catches it on an inspection, an absent guard brings a fine. A missing machine guard remains a highly cited violation from OSHA, especially in heavy industries like manufacturing, construction, and meatpacking. Both OSHA officials and industry representatives agree, they're easy to miss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Horner's case, \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=NEWS_RELEASES&p_id=27114\">OSHA scolded JBS in a press release\u003c/a> after the incident, saying the company should have known better. His death could've been prevented, the release said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with the strong language, the final fine for the violations that led to Ed Horner's death totaled $38,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, it's embarrassingly low,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.nelp.org/expert/senior-fellow-worker-safety-health/\">Debbie Berkowitz\u003c/a>, a fellow with the National Employment Law Project, and a former senior OSHA official. \"And because of that it's unclear what kind of deterrent effect it really has.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare that to other federal agencies that levy fines, Berkowitz says. If that same plant was found to be polluting a nearby river, the fines from the Environmental Protection Agency could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Greeley plant had a history of missing or lacking machine guards. \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/establishment.inspection_detail?id=311908982\">During an inspection in 2008\u003c/a>, the facility racked up serious violations for lacking machine guards, among other citations. Fines for those violations totaled $22,000, settled down from an original fine of $32,100. Inspectors recorded machine guard violations in 2012 as well, earning the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=NEWS_RELEASES&p_id=24132\">$83,414 in penalties\u003c/a>. After contesting the violations, JBS \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/establishment.inspection_detail?id=794801.015\">ended up paying $64,668\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://relatorioanual.jbs.com.br/en/scenario/\">In 2014, JBS S.A\u003c/a>., the Brazilian parent company for its North American arm, reported about $38 billion in net revenue, and earned about $650 million in profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OSHA decided to make the company's problems with machine guarding even more public in 2016. As a part of the settlement related to Ed Horner's death, OSHA placed the company on a publicly-available list of companies that have \"demonstrated indifference\" to federal safety standards, called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=DIRECTIVES&p_id=4503\">Severe Violator Enforcement Program\u003c/a>. JBS will remain on it for three years and be subject to more inspections and more OSHA oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $38,500 fine JBS paid for the violations that led to Ed Horner's death was higher than most, says Herb Gibson, OSHA area director for its Denver office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency assesses fines based on violations to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owasrch.search_form%3Fp_doc_type=OSHACT\">Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970\u003c/a>, not based on injuries or fatalities, Gibson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in 25 years, OSHA fines are \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/penalties.html\">set to increase in August 2016\u003c/a>. In 1990 other federal agencies were given permission to raise penalty amounts tied to the rate of inflation. OSHA wasn't given that permission, and Berkowitz says that's left the agency unable to financially punish bad actors. Any increase to OSHA penalties must go through Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for acting as a watchdog to the country's hundreds of meat and poultry plants, large and small, OSHA officials, current and past, say they're limited by the agency's tight resources. About 2,000 inspectors are tasked with keeping the country's millions of workplaces safe and illness-free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, it would take OSHA a hundred years to get to every workplace, just once to inspect,\" Debbie Berkowitz says. \"So really a lot is up to the company.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Four Deaths\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in 2014, JBS executives in Greeley were looking over their injury rates and feeling optimistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last several years they'd been able to limit certain problems, measured using a rate based on how many serious injuries workers sustained and caused them to miss work. Since JBS took over the Greeley plant in 2007, the rate had been declining. It was good news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came the summer of 2014, when JBS and its affiliated companies in North America had four worker deaths in a five-month span, stretching from the summer into early fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The summer of 2014 told us that while the figures said one thing, something more systemic, more foundational broke,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://jbssa.com/about/leadership/\">Chris Gaddis\u003c/a>, a JBS human resources executive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months after Ed Horner's death in Colorado, tragedy struck again at the Pilgrim's Pride poultry plant in Nacogdoches, Texas, when employee Bobby Beall \u003ca href=\"http://www.meatpoultry.com/articles/news_home/Business/2014/08/Pilgrims_worker_dies_at_plant.aspx?ID=%7BCECF99F6-B7FA-4BCE-A221-FF919C28091B%7D\">was electrocuted\u003c/a>.

JBS had a cultural problem, and executives agreed it would take more than additional OSHA visits to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No fine could've created as much change and momentum towards improvement as losing a team member,\" Gaddis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't need OSHA to come in and find this stuff, we need to find it ourselves,\" Schult adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Blind Spots In The Plant\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Horner died in a secluded maintenance room, tucked away in a portion of the plant few employees move through. He had climbed underneath a moving conveyor belt. JBS supervisors and executives simply hadn't identified it as a hazard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It involved guarding of a piece of equipment that we had not, frankly, focused on in the past,\" Schult says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only was JBS losing workers in that fivemonth span in 2014, but safety blind spots were staying hidden until tragedy struck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Realizing that a certain amount of complacency and comfort in their own safety protocols may have led to a situation that put a worker at risk, Chris Gaddis, the HR exec, says the company reacted, calling in a third-party risk assessment team to find additional hazards, and looked at changing internal policies to encourage reporting safety problems, rather than stifle them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years JBS had functioned under a \"cardinal rule\" policy, where a list of rules guided employees on what to do to stay safe on the job. Break a rule, and you're fired. Zero tolerance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But employees were understandably hesitant to come forward if they saw or participated in unsafe activities, knowing their report could get themselves, or their coworkers terminated. That led to a situation where injuries and unsafe actions were covered up and underreported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[The cardinal rule policy] was intended to create an environment that upheld safety, but it had this unintended consequence of undermining safety,\" Gaddis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now employees are given a strike when breaking one of the rules, and instead of being fired they're given the ability to learn from a mistake, even act as a safety ambassador for other employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company also realized that to find unseen, lurking hazards it needed to be less insular, more welcoming of new sets of eyes. The Greeley plant has often been a tour stop for Colorado business groups. In June 2015 it was opened \u003ca href=\"http://www.kunc.org/post/inside-world-s-largest-food-company-you-ve-probably-never-heard\">for the first time\u003c/a> to a sizable group of journalists.

The Greeley plant is under the jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Denver office, and a subject for the team of inspectors there who check workplaces for violations of federal safety standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Embarrassingly Low' Fines\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Horner's death triggered a flurry of activity for those government regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law required the conveyor belt he was working on to be covered with a guard, meant to prevent such accidents. If OSHA catches it on an inspection, an absent guard brings a fine. A missing machine guard remains a highly cited violation from OSHA, especially in heavy industries like manufacturing, construction, and meatpacking. Both OSHA officials and industry representatives agree, they're easy to miss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Horner's case, \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=NEWS_RELEASES&p_id=27114\">OSHA scolded JBS in a press release\u003c/a> after the incident, saying the company should have known better. His death could've been prevented, the release said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with the strong language, the final fine for the violations that led to Ed Horner's death totaled $38,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, it's embarrassingly low,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.nelp.org/expert/senior-fellow-worker-safety-health/\">Debbie Berkowitz\u003c/a>, a fellow with the National Employment Law Project, and a former senior OSHA official. \"And because of that it's unclear what kind of deterrent effect it really has.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare that to other federal agencies that levy fines, Berkowitz says. If that same plant was found to be polluting a nearby river, the fines from the Environmental Protection Agency could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Greeley plant had a history of missing or lacking machine guards. \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/establishment.inspection_detail?id=311908982\">During an inspection in 2008\u003c/a>, the facility racked up serious violations for lacking machine guards, among other citations. Fines for those violations totaled $22,000, settled down from an original fine of $32,100. Inspectors recorded machine guard violations in 2012 as well, earning the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=NEWS_RELEASES&p_id=24132\">$83,414 in penalties\u003c/a>. After contesting the violations, JBS \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/establishment.inspection_detail?id=794801.015\">ended up paying $64,668\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://relatorioanual.jbs.com.br/en/scenario/\">In 2014, JBS S.A\u003c/a>., the Brazilian parent company for its North American arm, reported about $38 billion in net revenue, and earned about $650 million in profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OSHA decided to make the company's problems with machine guarding even more public in 2016. As a part of the settlement related to Ed Horner's death, OSHA placed the company on a publicly-available list of companies that have \"demonstrated indifference\" to federal safety standards, called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=DIRECTIVES&p_id=4503\">Severe Violator Enforcement Program\u003c/a>. JBS will remain on it for three years and be subject to more inspections and more OSHA oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $38,500 fine JBS paid for the violations that led to Ed Horner's death was higher than most, says Herb Gibson, OSHA area director for its Denver office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency assesses fines based on violations to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owasrch.search_form%3Fp_doc_type=OSHACT\">Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970\u003c/a>, not based on injuries or fatalities, Gibson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in 25 years, OSHA fines are \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/penalties.html\">set to increase in August 2016\u003c/a>. In 1990 other federal agencies were given permission to raise penalty amounts tied to the rate of inflation. OSHA wasn't given that permission, and Berkowitz says that's left the agency unable to financially punish bad actors. Any increase to OSHA penalties must go through Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for acting as a watchdog to the country's hundreds of meat and poultry plants, large and small, OSHA officials, current and past, say they're limited by the agency's tight resources. About 2,000 inspectors are tasked with keeping the country's millions of workplaces safe and illness-free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, it would take OSHA a hundred years to get to every workplace, just once to inspect,\" Debbie Berkowitz says. \"So really a lot is up to the company.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Four Deaths\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in 2014, JBS executives in Greeley were looking over their injury rates and feeling optimistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last several years they'd been able to limit certain problems, measured using a rate based on how many serious injuries workers sustained and caused them to miss work. Since JBS took over the Greeley plant in 2007, the rate had been declining. It was good news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came the summer of 2014, when JBS and its affiliated companies in North America had four worker deaths in a five-month span, stretching from the summer into early fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The summer of 2014 told us that while the figures said one thing, something more systemic, more foundational broke,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://jbssa.com/about/leadership/\">Chris Gaddis\u003c/a>, a JBS human resources executive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months after Ed Horner's death in Colorado, tragedy struck again at the Pilgrim's Pride poultry plant in Nacogdoches, Texas, when employee Bobby Beall \u003ca href=\"http://www.meatpoultry.com/articles/news_home/Business/2014/08/Pilgrims_worker_dies_at_plant.aspx?ID=%7BCECF99F6-B7FA-4BCE-A221-FF919C28091B%7D\">was electrocuted\u003c/a>. JBS USA owns a controlling interest in the poultry processor with plants scattered across the southern U.S. \u003ca href=\"http://www.obitsforlife.com/obituary/955604/Beall-Bobby-Joe.php\">Beall's obituary\u003c/a> notes he enjoyed hunting and fishing, and was known around the poultry facility for sharing candy with his coworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One month later in September, a JBS employee in Alberta, Canada, Christopher Harper, succumbed to severe burns he sustained from \u003ca href=\"http://www.calgarysun.com/2014/08/21/pipe-burst-wounds-employee-at-brooks-plant\">a burst steam pipe\u003c/a> while working at the company's beef plant in the small town of Brooks. Being a devout hockey fan, \u003ca href=\"http://www.hffs.com/memsol.cgi?user_id=1427096\">Harper's obituary\u003c/a> requests donations in his memory be sent to the local junior league, the Brooks Bandits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, Pablo Lopez Romero of Mount Pleasant, Texas died while working at the Pilgrim's Pride plant there. \u003ca href=\"http://bizwest.com/employee-killed-pilgrims-pride-texas-plant/\">A large piece of ice\u003c/a> fell on Romero's neck and chest, killing him. \u003ca href=\"http://www.currywelborn.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=2752298&fh_id=12129\">Lopez Romero's obituary\u003c/a> says he left behind a wife of 35 years and two grandchildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a string of tragic events, each one exposing hazards and safety lapses at the plants involved, and a problem that would take much longer to address than simply adding new guards to machinery or rolling out a new training regimen. JBS had a cultural problem, and executives agreed it would take more than additional OSHA visits to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No fine could've created as much change and momentum towards improvement as losing a team member,\" Gaddis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't need OSHA to come in and find this stuff, we need to find it ourselves,\" Schult adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Blind Spots In The Plant\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Horner died in a secluded maintenance room, tucked away in a portion of the plant few employees move through. He had climbed underneath a moving conveyor belt. JBS supervisors and executives simply hadn't identified it as a hazard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It involved guarding of a piece of equipment that we had not, frankly, focused on in the past,\" Schult says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only was JBS losing workers in that fivemonth span in 2014, but safety blind spots were staying hidden until tragedy struck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Realizing that a certain amount of complacency and comfort in their own safety protocols may have led to a situation that put a worker at risk, Chris Gaddis, the HR exec, says the company reacted, calling in a third-party risk assessment team to find additional hazards, and looked at changing internal policies to encourage reporting safety problems, rather than stifle them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years JBS had functioned under a \"cardinal rule\" policy, where a list of rules guided employees on what to do to stay safe on the job. Break a rule, and you're fired. Zero tolerance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But employees were understandably hesitant to come forward if they saw or participated in unsafe activities, knowing their report could get themselves, or their coworkers terminated. That led to a situation where injuries and unsafe actions were covered up and underreported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[The cardinal rule policy] was intended to create an environment that upheld safety, but it had this unintended consequence of undermining safety,\" Gaddis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now employees are given a strike when breaking one of the rules, and instead of being fired they're given the ability to learn from a mistake, even act as a safety ambassador for other employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company also realized that to find unseen, lurking hazards it needed to be less insular, more welcoming of new sets of eyes. The Greeley plant has often been a tour stop for Colorado business groups. In June 2015 it was opened \u003ca href=\"http://www.kunc.org/post/inside-world-s-largest-food-company-you-ve-probably-never-heard\">for the first time\u003c/a> to a sizable group of journalists. More eyes, more inspections, more points of view should mean a safer plant, Schult says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111353\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/the-conveyor-belt_edited_enl-db042fa682bb9bc872f8a116ad9fd0caf175893e.jpg\" alt=\"An OSHA photograph shows changes made to the conveyor belt at the JBS beef processing plant in Greeley, Colorado, that killed Ed Horner.
