Hi Bryan,
If anyone has employees who wonder why they need safety glasses, and if they really as super-strong as touted; the accompanying photos should help! An employee mistakenly placed these on the hood of his car-pooling, full sized van this morning. They promptly slid off the hood as he walked toward the house to retrieve his lunch. Getting back into the van, he forgot all about...

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...

Back in the Polyurea area, they sometimes need to trim foam trays to remove rough edges, making them look as clean as possible for our customers. The stencil knives were laying on the table waiting to bite someone who moved a hand across the table.
Hazard known; how to fix was the next step.
With all that foam, could it be that easy?? Yes, it could!
At the edge of one table an organizer...

Hey Guys,
We understand that you are well known for your shocker photos… We just thought you could use some updated photos of “Doing it Right”. Also, I remember a few weeks ago I said I would send a ppt from the ASSE ROC. I will send that next.
Thanks for all the continued support. I think the meeting in Arizona last went extremely well. ADOSH is scheduled to give a recommendation...

Our meter readers each read literally hundreds and hundreds of meters daily. Water, Electric & Gas – these folks move quickly from one site to another. With water meters, they pull the top of the meter box off and reach down to flip the small protective cover off the glass covered meter itself to read and record the current usage. The flip the cover back over and replace the lid. Typically for...

This morning at 6:32 AM while walking downward on a 4/12 sheathed roof, one of our workers stumbled and fell face first toward the outside edge of the single story roof he was working on. From the momentum of his fall he lurched over the 2×6 slide guard at the edge of the roof and continued over the edge.
He was wearing a properly fitted full body harness connected to a DBI/SALA© Ultra Lok® SRL...

The Fujian Refining and Ethylene Project (FREP) is now at the peak of construction with a workforce of about 16 – 18 k persons at site. As of the beginning of the construction we have been putting a lot of emphasis on fall protection.

Avoiding personal loss
Reward seeking
Striving for leadership
Excelling
Preventing injuries to others
Avoiding making an unfavourable impression
Avoiding punishment
It’s easy to...
