The paperwork creep is getting out of hand on our job site

I've been noticing that every morning, we have to go through a 20-minute checklist on a tablet before even starting the engines... it's supposed to be for safety, but it feels like a box-ticking exercise. Last week, we had a meeting where management said this will increase, with more reports due daily. It's making the guys grumble because we signed up to operate machines, not to be data entry clerks... anyone else seeing this trend?

Wait until they roll out the pre-checklist checklist to make sure you're ready for the main checklist. Pretty soon the real work will just be that thing you do in the five minutes between filing your morning safety form and your afternoon productivity log.
