You always have the bodgey scaffold of the week. This time I have one that must take the prize for the best scaffold of the week.
What do you think?

Where I work (please no names), we have a sheet metal shop that makes HVAC duct work to install in people’s homes. When I first started as safety manager, I noticed that the guys in the shop were using old blowers from furnaces as fans because the shop gets extremely hot in the summer. I also noticed the blowers had fan belts and fans that weren’t...

I would normally find these laying where the guys took them off……on the ground. But this contractor made it clear to their workers how it was gonna be. Good Job!

One of the things I like to do is post pictures of the guys on a BB of them doing things right.. I work for a large GC and have lots of subs on site.. The guys and gals it seams always hear the negative stuff from their supervision. I like it when they take the extra steps to make it safe for themselves and others without being told “you have...

Attached are three photos of a machine guarding we just completed. The OEM version wasn’t very good compared to our design. This protects ALL from the tool changer.

Please do not use my company name in these photos. Thank you.

Definition of a Safety Pro!
(Author Unknown)
Sandwiched tightly between Top Brass and the teaming masses sits a wild-eyed individual madly singing a safety tune. He’s the most misunderstood, maligned and unsung person in all the world of business. He’s the proverbial “SAFETY PROFESSIONAL”.
This fellow’s a little bit of all strata’s….a member of none. To...

Thoughts of Emergency Responder
I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children at 3 AM, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen below you burns.
I wish you could comprehend a wife’s horror at 6 in the morning as I check her husband of 40 years for a pulse and find none....
