tell it to the coroner!You can stop fretting. The photo makes the situation look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than it was
Building was stepped. Surrounded by deep balconies. And I was nowhere near a trip hazard edge.
I've got a white card...
<2m? Who gave you your white card? Did he have a white stick too?You can stop fretting. The photo makes the situation look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than it was

It aint. Do your white card again. In my old business you would be on your way after that. And your supervisor.
Ok. Point taken.
Some rules are silly, for example I had to remove a crane operator at one site because he only placed three of those little plastic chocks under the 2.5m high tracks of an 800t crawler crane because that was a safety breach despite that crane being unable to roll away and if powered it could climb over a hilux. But that rule, that safety at heights rule, that one saves lives. You get distracted or stung by a wasp and in a moment you are over the edge. I lost a colleague who bumped his head on an object and he forgot where he was and wandered over the edge. Stay safe.
Wow! Can you still count to 21?
My first real job while at uni had a large workshop with a steam powered forging press, no real guards and a single control. It wasn't used. I was curious because it took up a lot of space and thought it might have been some sort of history thing. I was told that a young operator had forged his arm some 5 or 6 years before and the company were not allowed to remove it until the legal matter was finalised. Thankfully they had no intention on modifying it to use it after the accident.Wow! Can you still count to 21?
I'm on a modern press now, I but I learnt on a press that you could wipe the hickeys off the plate on the run. Not to mention four the gripper bars. Retail peeps couldn't work out why I laughed at them.
And THEN there are the Plattens!
Yep, can still count. The guillotine was operated by holding a pedal down with your foot, then pressing two buttons that were very far apart. OH&S would've been appalled, but I was taught how to use it properly and had to observe for many months before I was allowed to have a go.Wow! Can you still count to 21?

fuck the unions, we have laws now to protect people!
Out the gate for 48 is a favourite chant of mine.
Last job I had before we moved here was an Ink Tech, got to spend one night a month taking measurements and observing the guys print The Advertiser and The Australian in Adelaide. That was pretty cool.
And the lack of effort required to do it is slightly scary.
Where I did my apprenticeship used film, very cool process. They also had one of the very few operational Linotype machines, the ones that cast molten lead slugs.
That's farrken cool.
Fuck you and your greedy conservative mates fat boy. If it wasn't for the unions there would be no workplace safety and we would all be working Saturdays as part of our god knows how many hours a week. Stop getting your opinions from Murdoch.
