I got my first knife from my granddad when I was five or six years old. I had it for 15 minutes and I managed to sliced my finger. Haven't had any knife related accidents after that.

No disrespect you personally, but I'd suggest your company getting banned from the tarmac is the best thing for aviation since the Wright Brothers decided to grow a bushy moustache.
Oh no argument there. It was the airport itself that conducted an audit that banned my company from all ramp services except fueling.



Taken this week, at my company's office. I'm pretty close with the head fire marshal since I work with her to get units approved for ramp operation, and I'm pretty sure she's never visited our office (because it's outside the tarmac.) I rarely visit the office either but holy poo poo, this is what passes at my company. They only moved people out of the last building after they were forced to because it had no working fire sprinklers. Oh and the building before that, an old TWA hangar we used to work in - we had to move out of that because of asbestos. It was a huge, empty hangar because everyone else had long since left (because, again, asbestos) but my company being what it is was still there until forced to leave.

I used to make some pocket money cleaning up my stepdads construction sites when I was 6 or so in the afternoons. I found some Ramset Charges and knew their function was to make a hole in concrete but I thought it was some super tough nail that is like kryptonite to concrete. So NATURALLY I started lining them up on the waste pile of concrete and was JUST about to start hitting them with a hammer...until stepdad ruined the fun/hospital bill.

Graduated to being alone on sites jackhammering at 8 in thongs and stubbies. 30-odd years later still have all digits, except sliced my left foot in half between the toes up to the arch on a boat prop and got shot by my grandfather in right ankle.

new guy at the foundry that was at the railway service sheds where I used to work ran towards a cast that was falling apart to try and hold it together and got molten steel down both of his boots. Some people do weird things when they panic.

Their hope is that their direct followers retweet out to less safety-obsessed folks, I believe.

That's pretty sad. Did he lose both feet after that? Don't risk your life for your job people. Stay alive and in one piece.

i cut my leg with a machete today while trimming a banana plant. turns out those things are pretty sharp!

also i got to see this yesterday:



road train carrying cattle turned over. highlights included large numbers of severely injured cattle being euthanized, surviving cattle running all over the place like dickheads, ambulance taking the driver away (no siren, probably bad) and the 1000 yard stare of the copper on traffic control. bit poo poo aye.

So my dad recently retired to Maine, and within a month of living there, managed to cut his hand open shucking oysters and had to get a couple stitches.

For X-Mas, I got him some cut resistant gloves and towels. Not the heavy duty chain mail stuff, but still better than nothing. It got there today, and I said not to open them unless he's planning on shucking oysters before Christmas. Naturally, he has oysters in his fridge at this very moment and is planning on having them with dinner.

An hour later, I got this:



Better safe than sorry!

You forgot the best part of the story, about how the ER nurse, after the first time he got injured shucking, gave him hell for not refrigerating the oysters he'd finished before going to the hospital. Both OSHA and a waste of good seafood!
