If I write an article today about someone who transitions next year, am I (and all articles) supposed to spend time updating it? Wikipedia is a different story
Sounds difficult to test for. Thinking about a Pilot I think there would be data points you could measure on the job that predict likelihood of making a bad judgement. For example heart rate variability, cortisol levels, skin moisture.
I think the better solution is to abstract out the judgement into a formula that the pilot must follow, so not courting "gethereitis"
Hmm perhaps decree a method/routine to processes like nail gunning. A bit like the Japanese rail staff with their pointing routines.
Film the worksite or send surprise inspectors to catch workers too lazy/reckless about their nail gunning. Maybe show them videos of nail gun injuries!
Improper nailgunning I think is more related to ingrained attitude than ephemeral competence degraders (drugs)
I agree Safety is the top priority. Don't risk people with drugs traces in their blood; it may degrade their competence. Also don't risk a guy that didn't sleep last night working - his competence will be degraded.
I have a solution to prevent this, which doesn't prejudice Mike for having a bit of weed 2 weeks ago camping. Also it will filter out those unfit to work from legal medication, or tiredness.
Make workers do a 30 second ability test before going on shift. Design the test to measure reaction speed, short term memory, etc.
[follow up thought] - Test must be immune to practice/muscle memory. Don't want a drunk passing the test through familiarity, then performing shit on the job.
Stupid analogy, the worker can be told to remove the headphones during paid hours, non-compliance makes you fired.
We are talking about whether what you do outside of work, that is isolated from work, should get you fired.
There's only one gold... of the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin has become the store of value, by consensus, but that consensus is far more easily popped than the consensus of Gold's worth
