Joe Wasn't the Only One at Fault

Re the True Tale of a worker who neglected to remove his finger before snipping off the end of a glove.

Was the poor judgment exercised by Joe forgetting to take his finger out of the glove or cutting off the finger of the glove? If it was common practice for employees performing this job task to cut their gloves in order to check for smoothness - that is the problem that should be addressed. If this is the case, and management knew of the practice, then Joe would not have been the only one at fault.
