Accident At Work - Lesson to Everyone

<< < (8/14) > >>

before i read this thread i had just told my housemate that if i were ever to sever a finger in an accident it could be fatal for me. for anyone else, including you you'd be fine. but i have a rather unfortunate tendancy to faint when i lose more than a small amount of blood in an accident. i nearly fainted when i had to give TWO samples of blood for a diabetes survey! so  in your place, i would cut the finger, faint and then slowly bleed to death!  :-[

WaRpEd:
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
I've had my share of stitches and such but man that had to hurt.
Most fo the accidents I've had were from being careless or in a hurry so slow down and take a break is what I would suggest.
Maybe this will keep someone from doing the same.

Denverlatino:
I hope for a speedy recovery for you :P

MameMaster!:
wow that's rough.....and I too wish you a speedy recovery.

I've done plenty of things that could (and perhaps should) have resulted in injury...but I've been lucky so far.

But a reminder of the danger of these tools is always helpful.

Best wishes for your recovery.  :cheers:

Hey I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been doing well.  I went back to work last Tuesday and had a big shop safety meeting.  It sucks that it takes an accident to get people motivated about safety.  My team seems committed to making improvements in the shop and changing some of there own bad habits.  It's strange, but my staff members with the most experience seem to be more resistant than the rookies.

I had one guy who chose not to come back to work because he was too freaked out.  Other than that I've been real surprised with the wonderfull support from my employees, friends and family. 

Thanks for making this a sticky too... whoever thought it was appropriate.

So far the things i cant do while my hand is in a cast:

1) Tie my shoes
2) Shave
3) Button tight pants
4) Clap my hands
5) Play any arcade game requiring two hands.


So in the scheme of things it could be worse.

Later,

John
