be careful at work....one never knows what might happen

[isabeau]

my husband works at a cabinet and supply company, he designs kitchens and is the new manager. well in the store is a shop, where workers build cabinets and cut out countertops things like that. an experienced worker who had built cabinets for 27 years was using a saw on friday morning. it must have slipped and cut his index finger right in half and cut the next two fingers to the bone. i guess you could hear his scream throughout the shop, however my husband didnt hear it. there was nothing of the finger to save. he went to the hospital where they did a good job of sewing him up and today he will have surgery. another guy from work went with him and took a picture of his hand with his cell phone. david said it looked bad. the guy came back to the office friday before work quit, and said he was so mad at himself, because in all his experience nothing like that had happened before. and david said he was really doped up. lets hope this doesnt hurt his career, i guess he is really quite the builder.

I had a friend from high school who worked in the butchers department of a local supermarket, who after a slight mishap with the slicer, managed to take half his thumb clean off. He was rushed to the hospital where it was sewn back on, leaving only a very ugly looking scar as evidence of what happened. He's leading a normal life in college now, though I imagine it makes a good story on slow nights.

In situation like that I can imagine an irrate customer complaining about the butcher "having his finger on the scale".

Being a carpenter, I can speak with experience in saying that safety is the #1 priority when I am at the jobsite. I have attended far too many funerals of construction workers who were killed on the job. Wear your safety glasses, hardhat and when necessary, a safety harness to protect you from falling. I had the misfortune of seeing a coworker, after he had fallen 3 stories to his death from a building. I had nightmares after viewing that. It is a horrible thing to see.

From what I am told I work in the number 10 of the 10 most dangerous jobs in the world That being a truck driver The key to being safe at any job is paying attention Mostly to what you are doing and what others around you are doing
