Safety Week In Mitchieville
I hope we have all learned a little sumpin’ sumpin’ this Safety Week. We should always remember that safety is job #1. Well, profit is job #1, but safety is a close second. Actually, profit is #1, then ability, then a few other things and then safety. It’s pretty safe to say that safety is in the top ten, for sure.
This is another picture of an accident waiting to happen. It’s obvious to me as I’m sure it’s obvious to you, that this gentleman is on the verge of walking straight into a nightmare. He’s working around steel, yet he’s not wearing Category 3, tear-resistant, puncture hazard gloves, that have been approved by an EEC directive. Without these gloves, this guy is going to get one terrible metal sliver. And when he does, he only has himself to blame. And Allah, or Ganesh, or whoever/whatever he prays to and worships.

You know what is really damn freaky about this photo? Someone was able to spray paint an almost perfect circle on a tree trunk. That is damn impressive. Those Indian/Pakistani/Korean/Indonesian/Muslims are awesome with a can of Krylon and a palm.
By the way, exactly what religion is it again that requires you to wear a Chicago area phone book on your head? I keep forgetting.

I’ve seen a lot of Sikhs on the job site who don’t wear hard hats, or if they do, it’s six feet up on top of the turban.

Raphael,
Religion is always more important than the safety of one’s cranium.
