Video of the Week

NIOSH Approved?!?!?!?!  Functional yes, but using PVC from your local hardware store and dishwashing parts to modify your respirator may be making it more user friendly, but it is also compromising safety!

CAUTION!  This video may be upsetting to some viewers.

Now this video was shot in China, but see how many unsafe acts you can count the operator of this front-end loader commits in this 8 minute video.  Other than the obvious that he is not wearing his seatbelt and no back up alarm on the loader, how many can you spot?  All I can

Some may find this “sexist” and some may find it “offensive”, but everyone will have to admit that it is on target for the male dominated construction trade!  I put the “adult only” label on the video myself, but IT IS SAFE FOR WORK.

Watch and listen to how the pro’s carry out a PRCS Rescue/Recovery.  Pay close attention to the radio traffic and how things are communicated and staging areas utilized.  May God bless the soul of the deceased worker, his family, and the rescuers.
