This was the shoe of a stand up forklift driver who got his foot too far of the edge of the lift. He was uninjured. The cost of the injury without that shoe would have paid for every employee’s safety shoes in our company for two years. Membership Content
I am sending some pictures of unsafe conditions to renew my membership. These pictures were taken at both our facilities here in XXXXXX Ohio and XXXXXX Indiana, these pictures were taken by me and you have permission to post them on your site. The 3 truck pictures were taken when a truck driver was turning around and misjudged the distance to the ditch and ended up driving in it. I also included a picture of a hand injury we had a few months ago, where an employee was handling a strip of steel and was not wearing the proper gloves and got cut. the employee received 6 stitches on his hands. The rest are blocked emergency equipment, exits, extinguishers, eye wash stations etc.
The injured worker was an insulation contractor employee who was working on a 10 feet scaffold while blowing insulation into walls. The name of the contractor and builder have not been shown. The worker sustained head injuries and complained of pain to his hip and leg. It is unknown how serious his condition. The photos attached depict several examples of upset conditions which could have been avoided.
This happened this morning, a maintenance employee of 20+ years gambled and lost. He failed to follow safety procedures and remove his gloves before using the Drill Press and the bit caught his left hand kevlar glove while drilling a hole in a rubber wiper. Here's the result. Broken/Twisted left middle finger, needed to have pins through the finger at the hospital. Again I'd like to remain anonymous, thanks Bryan.
We had a First Aid injury to a Maintenance employee.The injury was a friction burn to the left index finger and left thumb. The employee was using a drill press to drill a 3/8” hole in a round piece of rubber,The drill caught in the rubber and it spun between his left thumb and index finger causing two small friction burns as shown in the pics.
One of my maintenance employees had just placed a Gerrad banding machine on a workbench in the maintenance shop with a forklift to service it. The unit was resting on the table with two legs off the table; the employee was attempting to rotate it to the right to get it resting on all four legs by manually lifting it. As he turned the unit, the leg next to his right hand slipped off the table creating a pinch point between the unit base and the workbench top, here is the result.
