Where I work is like that....No phones, no radio's of any sort, no seats/chairs, must fill out a "Take 5" for everything you do, even mopping the floor, must fill out a "Lift Plan" to use a 1,000kg (2,200 lb) SWL fibre round sling to lift a 40 lb object, must fill out a "Hot Work Permit" to use an angle grinder or shrink wrapping an OHT Wheel End......etc.
It's getting worse by the week.
