Still riding?

I worked in a Factory years ago and a bloke lost two fingers on a Milling Machine.....but he didn't realise until hometime, when he was waving the Foreman goodnight !!!! LOL.

I did have the privilege of working with a Safety Trainer from Dupont some years ago....who provided 'Behavioural Safety Training' to Companies around the globe, and he was exceptionally good at what he did. He taught me how to deliver the Dupont Training Course and I still remember - and firmly believe their doctrine - many years later.

He recounted the story about working with a small Family owned Timber Mill, but after his Training Course was done at their Mill, he had his doubts whether the message was really hitting home with the Senior Managers who he felt were a bit sceptical of the value of the training.

The following weekend he was at home when the Owner of the Timber Mill phoned him and asked him if he could come back on the Monday and ramp up the Safety Training..........because an 18 year old lad had been dragged through the machine which ripped the bark from the tree trunks. The poor victims Father and a number of other Family members were also employed at the Mill. so his totally avoidable death had hit everybody really hard in their small community.

My Employer at the time made every effort to improve Safety, and to their credit, because Management made it their job to champion best practice, that's what it became throughout the organisation - best practice.

Although its not cold, its not sunny here on our particular part of the coastline as I write this. That makes it a bit easier with regard to not thinking about going out for a ride. All the bikes have been moved around this morning, the Tuono and the CB550 have taken up residence in my large shed whilst one of our interior panel doors is being sanded down and repainted in the garage.  The big decision of the day is do I go for a push bike ride or take the Labrador for an extended walk as my daily exercise?   Keep safe everyone!   ;D

I've just delivered some provisions to my dad (86), a 17 mile round trip on the bike, I've never seen so many seriously fat people in lycra and jogging shoes. :o ;D ;D
