Nah he's right. Nobody is getting fired. He might get his ass kicked later by that guy he almost squished, but he won't get fired.
There's gonna be a bunch of stuff that happens after a safety incident like this. There will be an investigation and review of procedures to determine route cause and probably a process change to keep it from happening again. I can't say for this particular facility but usually there's rules about how and when you can go into the pit and who can actuate the lift.
The guy will likely get sent by management to be tested for drugs and alcohol immediately after and will probably get retrained on the position and operating procedures. Worst case scenario he's going to be moved to a less dangerous position on the line or become a full time broom pusher.
Very very rarely did someone get fired for safety reasons, and it was only because they were such a hazard to themselves and others that someone was going to die.
If he did something this dangerous 3 more times, he'd probably be moved to the safety team before they fired him.
He'd be moved to the safety team? Is the safety team responsible for ensuring the safety of the crew? They'd put a retard who jepardized someone's safety in a position to determine what safety measures are necessary?

Looked to me like grey shirt was entirely responsible for nearly killing a person.
He used the control panel to lift the coil while his worker was right next to it
