    Injuries on the Job

    Sometimes when I'm scrapping I'll get a minor cut and bruises (sometimes really bad bruises). I always make sure I'm careful and aware of my surroundings when loading and especially unloading the truck, as I can not afford a serious injury. The last time I was at the scrap yard, it started dumping rain and as I was finishing up an ambulance and firetruck were pulling in. There were two guys unloading in the truck next to me and one of them was unloading some huge pieces of sheet metal, he slipped and the sheet metal sliced both of his legs open. Not a very good day for those guys. The employees were all really great about making sure he was taken care of though. Anyone else have an incident happen to you or someone else? Please share and maybe we can all learn a thing or two about what not to do. Thanks!
