Sue, a lot of safety issues are kept at our local management and never really get escalated. Then when a problem some how does make it above our local management, it takes a very long time before things get fixed. The company I work for is a lot better on a safety standpoint than some of my past employers. One past employer actually spun the company off into another company for the sole purpose of having no liability with upcoming terminal illnesses of employes exposed to very dangerous chemicals and there solution is to put the company out of business when these people start to sue for damages.

Despite some flaws with this company, they are one of the best companies I have worked for in regard to how we are treated and job tasks. I am hoping in the long run, our safety will react to this and get them to spray our area more to reduce the mosquito population. I think a few of my workers are starting now to elevate the issue.
