Safety

Thanks Rick, I was hoping you would tell Geoff's story. It wasn't my place to do so.

Geez Rick, I,m lucky, when I was repairing the tarp on the truck a moment of haste saw me sew my finger into the tarp double seam, using a 0.20 needle and heavy thread but thankfully only 3 stitches by the time it stopped which all missed the bone. Took a while to cut the thread after SLOWLY winding the needle back, of course the scissors were on the wrong side.

17th July 2013. Bob Moseley passed away today. Another one gone from the ranks. Condolences to his family and all that called him friend.

I thought I would bring this thread up again. Even though i'm quite safety aware accidents happen and now I have about 6 weeks to recover after slicing my wrist including tendons just for being impatient and not getting some lifting help or equipment and I have plenty of that but a split second your day to day or possibly your life can change I guess we just shouldn't take each day for granted.

Wish you a speedy recovery Colin - Cant have one of the best metal workers in the business on the sidelines for too long..

Colin, so very true. I myself am recovering from a workplace related incident and have been hobbling around since early Dec 2015. We often take for granted our own mortality thinking that it will never happen to me. All too often we will follow the rules at work, only to break them at home, knowing better.
It is all too easy to be impatient, perhaps it's a man thing. I don't need help, don't be silly, it's not that heavy... Too little, too late after the fact. If you don't get it done today, get it done tomorrow and bring a mate to help!!!
Get well soon.

I would bitch about the thumb I sliced open on the lathe this afternoon, but colin has me beat.
