Lose one and I'd be giving it (what I was doing in the shop) some real serious thought. Twice? In the same year? Start looking at stamp collecting and damn the paper cuts!g |

Is it a coincidence that just last night on King of the Hill reruns, that
Hank cut off a buddy's finger with a circular saw? "Hn J" wrote in message ... 1- table saw 1995 cross cut. 2- band saw 1995 distracted. 3- router table no guard 1996. only 6 1/2 left to go. |

How high can you count on your fingers? Assuming 10!
In binary that's tragic. ===================== I don't get the tragic reference.... But the reference to binary is correct: 2^10 or 1024. Actually, the highest you could count to would be 1023, as the first number you count is 0. That is, unless you pre-date the Mayans. I know there are some codgers here, but sheesh  ).Shameless plug: I've got a Flash tutorial on my site explaining how to count to 31 on one hand. Same principle applies to 2 hands. http://www.glassgiant.com/misc_count...n_one_hand.php History of Zero: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasc...9/gen99535.htm Regards, Shawn -- Shawn Wilson http://www.glassgiant.com |

Regards Dave Mundt I took a look at that link, e-mailed it to work as a matter of fact, some of the photos should be useful. But, they also seem to get a bit carried away; for example, the baby spare on the back of the jeep leading into a diatribe about how sorry the driver will be when he has a flat -- my bet is the real spare is inside the jeep. As in, "it's a joke son, a joke I say". Some of the other diatribes were a bit off the deep end -- the situations while not necessarily according to Hoyle were not necessarily life-threatening hazards either. Guess one needs to apply some common sense filters. Another example -- the coke can screw holder -- want to bet the person using the can that way *wasn't* reaching his fingers into the can for the screws, but was shaking the screws into his hand from the can? +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The absence of accidents does not mean the presence of safety Army General Richard Cody +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |

Yea, I am with you on that. It seems to me that the pictures range from the AMAZINGLY dangerous (the stacked forklifts, the stacked ladders, the truck propped up on 2x4 stock) to the mildly hazardous (the various guys riding on the truck beds, and unsecured loads and such) to, as noted above, the "its a joke moment".. I did like the "surfaces may be hot" sign that was wrinkled from the heat. I thought that was a EXCELLENT object lesson. However, the author(s) all adopt the writing style that makes ALL the pictures "the same" in terms of danger to life and limb. Haw, considering some of the REALLY stupid things I have seen folks do, perhaps they have a point...but in many cases it seems more like "Chicken Little" screaming that the sky is falling... still a great collection of pictures, and many useful ones in there. Regards Dave Mundt +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The absence of accidents does not mean the presence of safety Army General Richard Cody +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ P.S. This is a VERY observant comment! Got to remember that simply because we got away with it THIS time does not mean that the actions taken were "safe"...just that God smiled on us, and we were preserved from our stupidity. DCM |

While either would be appreciated (although I suspect that UPS might not appreciate the latter all THAT much...reminds me of the story of the Fed Ex girl that delivered a package to a taxidermist, and, when she handed it over, thought she felt a bit wet... She was shocked to look down and find that the front of her shirt and pants were covered with blood. The box, which WAS pretty heavy, causing her to clasp it close, proved to contain the head and pelt of a fairly large wolf. The person that sent it had frozen it, and packed in some dry ice, but, had not sealed it up when he sent it). Getting back to my point...I suspect that I will get away with putting the PHOTO up on the wall...Putting the hand up, while would be VERY educational for the guys, would, alas probably not go over very well with management.

Another example -- the coke can screw holder -- want to bet the person using the can that way *wasn't* reaching his fingers into the can for the screws, but was shaking the screws into his hand from the can? Well, keep in mind the audience for that site varies widely, from the most junior Marine rifleman to the saltiest Command Master Chief. Take a look at the number of hard copy magazines the Safety Center puts out for the various Navy communities to get some examples. It's also not meant to cover just really dumb dangerous stuff that has happened but in the spirit of Operational Risk Managment get shipmates to think "what are the consequences" if even mundane stuff goes awry. It's all about breaking a link in the mishap chain before the mishap occurs. Spent several months at Naval PG school in Monterey learning all about this and they rarely publish the truly gruesome stuff. I had a buddy lose his left hand ejecting from an EA-6B when his Timex G shock got caught on the centerline canopy bow. Degloved everything but the base of his thumb and he's one that lived. Vince had a great atitude about it afterward figuring the alternative was a deep smoking hole in the ground in the Olympic mountains. The Navy made him specialized hands for everything he wanted. As he was a triathelete he even had hands for swimming and biking. That was over ten years ago so I'm sure he has something even better now. Allen |

Last season I caught an episode of "Life in the ER" featuring micro-surgeons, the re-attachment docs. Retiree came in with half of his two middle fingers in a sandwich bag. The surgeon studied the x-rays, and asked how they were amputated. The ER doc replied, "table saw". After further review the surgeon asked, "So, what happened to this one", pointing to a third digit. The ER doc got this 'I-really-hoped-you-wouldn't-ask' look on his face. In a tight voice he said, "Um, 1965 in a table saw." After a beat they both burst out laughing. |
