We have all seen the Department of Labor signs in the many workplaces and offices that have previously been our places of employment. These warnings are normally in the caricature of a cartoon and show Worker William leaning over a menacing buzz-saw and precariously dangling from his cartooned-neck is a gold medallion akin to a Chrysler emblem on a 1995 Le-Baron.
The problem with most of these signs is not that they are bad or silly, not at all, the issue lies with our senseless ignoring of these warning stories and how many have lost both limb and life not heading their colorfully-based calls. Online OSHA Safety Training employs in all of the safety courses made available online and onsite a segment about the importance of adequate safety clothing (not PPE) that starts in the bedroom of the house. Those courses include the ever-popular Online OSHA 10-Hour Construction Courses as well as the 30-Hour Courses as well. Even the granddaddy of all the BP Gulf Oil Spill Safety Training Courses, Hazwoper 40-Hour Course, has a segment and a brief talk-up concerning safe work-wear aptitudes.
OSHA 10-Hour Training
At Online OSHA Safety Training we care about your workplace safety and feel it is our moral duty and obligation to make you take notice each and everytime you step out of the trailer or apartment and are heading to the saw mill to pause one second and take a look in the mirror. All it will take is one brief moment and we call this Mirror Mirror on the Wall Who is the Finest Safest Best Dressed Safety Worker of them all? An easy way to recall this is the catchy little jingle above but those words can be forgotten and you can still slip out without having the quick safety clothing check-up that saved one man’s life. We thought now would be a great time to tell you a story about a man we call Bobby Perkins around the bone yard here in Columbus, Ohio.
OSHA Compliance Training
Bobby Perkins is a scrap yard industrial worker who is employed at Tiny’ Salvage on the eastside of this vibrant and hard-working community of Columbus, Ohio. The day was just like the previous 12,458 of which Bobby Perkins was absent or late, 0 times. That record for safety and the observance of safety rules and regulations that he had still retained after taking that Online OSHA Safety Training Course (OSHA 30-Hour General Industries) two-years prior was put to the test and in a huge way.
69 Chevy Caprice
That fateful morning Bobby went about his usual morning ritual of waking up at the crack of dawn, eating a bagel with lox, taking a bird-bath and dressing for work. The morning went well and Bobby arrived at the lot ready and eager for another day in the Ohio sun pulling parts off cars and the like. A customer walked into the yard and inquired to Bobby if the yard happened to have a fender and a right quarter-panel for a 69’ Chevy Caprice SS. Within a few clicks of the mouse and the tarnished Dell and the printer soon spat out the location in the yard for the requested parts.
Grabbing his tool-box and the customer, Bobby then high-tailed it to the Chevy section of the yard and soon was yanking and cursing and pulling and tugging at the requested parts. One of the bolts that was stubborn as a Buckeye offensive lineman in September refused to give up the ghost and Bobby was left to run back to the shop and grab the pneumatic-portable saw. Without really thinking about the safety of that tool as this was something that Bobby used all the time he commenced to cutting on the body and the stubborn bolt sawing and jawing. Looking away for an instant the saws blade kicked back after hitting the bolt and flew back and smacked Bobby right square in the face!
OSHA 30-Hour Safety Training Course
Bobby saw stars but avoided permanent eye and facial injury and a possible head-injury by recalling what Gene the Instructor for his OSHA 30-Hour Safety Training Course told him and he had never forgotten; “eye protection will save more than your sight, it will save your income”. Bobby took a day off since the saw blade did require him to take a trip to ER for a few stitches as the eye-protection gear, of which Bobby always kept by his toothbrush and never left home without, deflected the saw’s angry teeth and saved his eyes but scrapped his head. The safety moral to the story is that no matter what you do the one thing that you can do for yourself is that there is a routine for dressing properly that happens at home that if done religiously can save lives and eyes and fingers and toes!
