I was going to say.

Most of the tradies I see have their safety gear clipped on their belt instead of on their body.


Three written warnings and down the road if my crew, for subbies it was one warning then piss off, leave site and tell your boss to send someone back who will obey OH&S.

There seem to be a bigger portion of young ones nowadays that see start and meal break times as advisory and PPE purely as an option but sack a few and the rest wakeup.

The hardest ones are some of the older blokes and even though I am 46 I still cop s**t sometimes and am known as a bit of a crunt but that is my job and three strikes works with them eventually too.

No lost time injuries in 1265 days of project management, I am lucky in that I get to choose team leaders when applicable.

I've known a couple of blokes like that over the years.

A few now have less than 10 fingers and toes.

I've seen all the skin stripped off a finger when a bloke was jumping off a scaffold and also a wedding ring crushed into a finger and had to listen to the bloke screaming for (what seemed like three hours) three minutes until he passed out.

NEVER wear a steel watchband, leather will break and you won't end up welding it between the a battery terminal and the exhaust pipe on a fishing boat, when that happens it gets RED HOT and burns to the bone. In this instance it was a flexible metal and his wrist was saved by jumpoing straight in to the sea(the boat was at dock).

I am full of horror stories.
