Accident

[brightspark]

I think I have mentioned this before on here somewhere, ( @Parm ,riddor etc). Long story short it appears it's us older git`s that get sloppy and cause injury to ourselves and others

speak for yourself. I take care not to hurt myself because injuries take twice as long to heal when u get older and when young'uns or even older work with me I look to make sure there not doing anything stupidhaving said that I do see idiots working for other folk and I get scowled at for telling them

Safety first!

If I wanted to die of old age, I wouldn't ride a motorcycle....

Sold my bike the other week, I might get something smaller next year. Really fancy a new monkey bike as Honda are making them again. Hope you're not aching too much today Nick, get some witch hazel for the bruising it calms it down a bit.

that would still give me the heebees.

I bought a new ladder last year which has one of those bars across the bottom to widen the footing. I’m constantly cursing it as it makes it really awkward to store, but I guess it does add a layer of safety. But I absolutely hate going up a ladder. I fell through our ceiling from the loft a few years back - the solution was a loft conversion so no ceiling space anymore for me to get into!

Willy runs in and tells his mother you’d better come out. I’ve just knocked over the ladder at the side of the house. His mother says, go and tell your father, I’m busy.
Willy says, Mom he already knows, he’s hanging from the roof.

Checking for broken roof tiles! Had Crocs on my feet too.

I love my crocs but once the sole gets worn your an accident waiting to happen.

 

[nickk]

Like it!
He’s only temporarily an ex,wanted a break for family reasons.
His mother’s neighbor is the customer who’s ordered the copper pergoda.

forrestry and agriculture have consistently high levels of accidents. I’m aware of 3 fatal accidents in aboriculture work in the South East. All in the last couple of weeks

I’ve worked in forestry pretty much all my adult life. Heard of a lot of accidents, three deaths. I now don’t work a chainsaw at work, it’s deemed dangerous. They now get youngsters in and train them up to do that work. That’s dangerous, they may know the theory but they have no experience and no old hands to learn from. We did update courses every couple of years, I never failed or got marked down. I was often chosen as the guy to show the others how to do things.

That's absolutely bonkers. How has some decided that age makes an impact on risk ?

Ahh, but we're now the 'old hands'

One night a husband and his wife were sleeping and suddenly the wife woke up.
"Dear there’s a burglar eating the cake downstairs!” said the wife.
"So should I call the police or the ambulance?” Said the husband

Little Johnny was playing in his yard when his next door neighbor drove by pulling a trailer. He ask what did he have in the trailer?

"Manure,"the neighbor replied.

"What are you going to do with it?" asked Little Johnny

"Put it on my strawberries," answered the farmer.

Little Johnny replied, "You ought to come and eat with us, we put ice-cream on our strawberries."

Sure you've not wandered into the wrong thread?

Glad your ok, but im starting to build a mental image of whos who here and they are all injured should maybe start a whos who thread with before injury pictures

Regarding ladders, i defy anyone to watch a Fred Dibnah video about laddering a chimney and not get the fear, felt queasy just watching it!

Just a bit of useless Friday afternoon information.

Fred Dibnah died of bladder cancer. Caused by years of wearing overalls that were covered by oil and grease around the groin area. This disease was very common during the industrial revolution and very well documented. Not so common these days

Bit more useless information, often caused by keeping oily cotton waste in the overall pockets.
