    the profesion we have chosen" can be dangerous use caution

    Just following the simple rule of wearing the proper PPE can make a huge difference. Eye pro, ear pro, gloves, boots and the right clothing, all the time, every time. How many people on here have a little mark on there gloves from an angle grinder?



    Also I see people wearing the wrong type of gloves all the time. If you are doing anything involving flame or spark your gloves need to be all leather. Mechanics gloves are for turning wrenches, synthetics can and will melt/catch on fire.

    As I have supervised and investigated many accidents. The cause and effects of accidents almost always have one thing in common. That is complacency, someone who so sure that they know what they are doing can be the most dangerous person in the work place! Safety starts and ends with each individual. Fatal or bad accidents are almost always a sequence of events, with each action leading to a point of no return and leading to property damage, injury, and death. Almost always could have been prevented if just one action had intervened and with a much more desirable outcome. Another thing to consider, some accidents occur do to what happened outside of the scope of work. If a person brings there problems to the work site, thus not thinking about the job or the safety of self or others a accident is almost always likely!
