Is it the norm for L.E.O.s to induce a "whistle blowing" culture among employees just because he or she (the LEO) considers their observation to be subjectively questionable. The LEO commented that "I can cause a quite a stink".
To achieve what?
Our employee "whistleblew" on the LEO to me, and now I'm not sure if I have just grounds to make a formal complaint.
The questionable observation was not in any way hazardous or dangerous and is adequately addressed in our safety plans.
Any comments or suggestions please.
Thankyou in advance,
Robert.

I'm really not sure what you are saying, or what you are asking. And as for the title "advisory stirring". what does that mean ?
We need "whistle blowers" that is people who have gone through the "approved procedures" to raise a concern but have had no, or at the most, negative responses. Such cases require early, rapid evaluation
; is it a legitimate, serious matter. Does it merit further investigation and action ?
And legitimate whistle blowers need legal protection. The trouble is that whistle blowing is always a career buster. At whatever level. See EU chief accountant sacked by Niel Kinnock for criticising EU lack of accountability on billions of euros.
Would you continue to employ or even promote someone who had caused you to be taken to court ?
Sometimes you gotta be brave and put your career/life on the line. And I mean Brave.
As they say in the police "What's the best job you have ever had ?"

I can see what you mean Robert, and I can't see where Mr Kinnock got involved in it Merv!
Reading between the lines it appears that your employee had no real cause to complain,
except with the behaviour of the LEO
As you say, the matter was documented in the safety plan.
I would have thought that the most reasonable action for the LEO would have been to contact the parent company first. He or she may then have had a better understanding of the whole issue. To try and incite someone to whistleblow just to cause a stink, or stir as you had put it, doesn't appear to be very professional at all.
There are alot of safety people out there who, while in a position of "authority", do not consider real world and real time issues and forget "so far as is reasonably practicable".
I would forget about a compaint, the chances are it will go nowhere unless there has been an improvement or prohibition notice served.

Sorry, I must be missing something here.
If the LEO is already aware who is going to whistleblow what, and to whom?
