Safety

[geezer#99]

Walked into the welding shop at the gas plant I worked at to find a welders helper leaving a trail of blood on the floor. He was dressing a weld and swung the angle grinder down and cut into his knee just above the joint. He didn’t even notice! A clean cut. Said he had no pain. Wasn’t wearing his protective leggings. He was off for a year healing up.
Had another welders helper think he could stop a rotating drill bit with his leather gloves. Mangled his hand pretty bad.
I worked in an underground coal mine when I was fresh out of school. The safety boss had a favourite saying.
The best way to be safe is knowing an accident can happen at anytime!
