Re: This Is Why You Wear Safety Glasses
You should start all of your safety meetings with Mike's picture to stress the importance of wearing your PPE every time - every day. This photo says it all to the people who say they "don't need all of that safety stuff". Great post.

Re: This Is Why You Wear Safety Glasses
I look at it like this..........You stupid enough to not wear PPE, then Stupid is as stupid does.
Here is one result of poor judgment........... DO NOT VIEW UNLESS YOU CAN HANDLE IT! http://s212.photobucket.com/albums/c...t=image007.jpg

I imagine, at some point, you get numb. Personally, I couldn't do that job.

Re: This Is Why You Wear Safety Glasses
I'm not sure how we got from safety glasses to automobile wrecks.
Can we at least pretend to stay on subject?

Re: This Is Why You Wear Safety Glasses
Thx for showing the importance of safety glasses! I've been lucky through the years! In the early 80's I operated grout pump on hundreds of jobs. I 've got stories to tell!

Re: This Is Why You Wear Safety Glasses
Good post master mason.
Those other pics are pretty, ummm... not sure I have the words for it. Just after you think nothing on the intraweb can shock you anymore.

Re: This Is Why You Wear Safety Glasses
If the driver of that car had his hardhat on, he would've been OK. At least according to OSHA. When they required a HH on a roof, I figure it was to save us if a plane crashed into the building. Glad they rescinded that silly rule and amended it to roofers below the eave.
As for the pics, I helped a camera crew at a train accident. The regular photog, newbie, lost it and I ended up doing all the work, including written notes.
