    How safe is your workplace?

    Reflecting on the China blasts it seems odd in the modern developed world we keep having workplace accidents and disasters.
    And its not just the Chinese doing silly stuff, even in the highly litigated world of America there are still disasters and accidents happening.
    Been watching vids here https://www.youtube.com/user/USCSB/videos
    Don't be put off by the dry opening tone, most of the vids watched so far are quite interesting with relevant technical detail.

    I almost took my eye out with a paperclip the other day. Accountancy offices can be hazardous places. We even have a warning label on the hot water tap, in case it's mistaken for cold water.

    It all went downhill when I was informed I could only bring one spare mag for my Glock...

    You forget the human factor. Their are always going to be accidents. You can legislate and litigate all you want, shit is still going to happen.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    You can minimise "shit happening"

    Some humans are dumber than others, you dont need or want the dumb ones working for you

    Exactly. And its interesting watching some of the vids how known hazards to most normal people are still ignored. Eg the dust explosion situations seem to feature in a few of the vids, 100% preventable.

    Yet the dumb ones are never short a job for long because there is always an employer who wants to pay add little as possible.

    he just winding you up, currently he is working for Mitsubishi testing out the 1990 model.

    Akzle added 2 fuel-ups to their 1990 Mitsubishi Magna.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
