Yet another Accident at work today.

This will probably get deleted from my company wall.... Oh FUCKING WELL! After another injury in company, if felt compelled to post this on the company wall. Hi everyone! Just a reminder from me about safety. A moment of thought before doing something is worth far more than a painful event. Please consider what you are doing before actually doing it. Granted, you may be very young with perhaps no or limited experience with machines such as Lathes/ Bridgeports, Cincy Grinders or Band Saws. When I had new hires in my department, and I or another would train them, I EMPHASISED THIS: Know this. There is not a machine in this place that would not hurt or maim if you give them the chance to do so. That, in my opinion, is how MACHINE SHOPS are. There is a ton of trial and error while learning... In Honing, I do not believe there is one us that hasn't gotten hurt over the years at one point or another. Sure, some guarding came of this, yet that never worked. What we did learn in Honing was to be more attentive and know when to realize something was seizing and pull our hands away. NOT WEAR HEADPHONES, PAY ATTEMTION AND JUST mind what were doing amidst distraction. SAFETY IS EVERYONES JOB. I wish us all a safer week. Stay mindful at what you are doing and the task at hand. YOUR HANDS. As always, MARK IN HONING, FLYINGSCOOTER AND/////
