| Re: Safety Safety Safety !
Great points all. Being a mechanic, now working on heavy trucks, you have to be on your toes at all times. I have seen many things that are quite scarey over the years, and being lead on my shift, I have to constantly watch the other guys for possible safety infractions. They can crop up out of an otherwise innocent situation and come back to bite you.
The thing is, always be conscious of your safety, not only the recognised procedures, but be watchfull for any other situation that may cause a potential hurt.
Something else that is potentially lethal, and I see it more than I care to admit, mostly by DIY's. That is supporting your car with cement blocks. That is a huge no no. They can shatter leaving no support and the car will come down on you before you even realise what is happening. Don't do it no matter how tempting!
