It's I can talk next year in a minute don't want to do
what I did pump
that control by accident get the mincemeat find out what I told you yet don't work
on equipment when the engines running flood told him not to touch anything.
All right. I guess I wasn't thinking. Ya'll are thinking.
You mean you'll work on engines and machinery
and not thinking your own personal safety there. Shake hands with danger.
No I used to laugh.
Now they know three finger joke.
Where you choose the arrows for a moment spend a life with
the earth moving machines are designed for safety
but they're big enough to hide a man person you could kill me this mechanic is
Lucky's able to complain
or he should have protected himself by removing the key input
and do not operate on the controls.
Anytime you think up a ranch reach for a control use a grease gun.
Grab a welding torch or work on any machine for getting a safety.
You're shaking hands with danger.
OK all right now you take the loader up behind the hill where they're working
and I'll drive up on the road. I'll meet at the top. All right.
But you know Cliff I never fall prey to small for pride I have to do it back it up
and then let it down. Nice
and be like you want me to do it like any other stuff like so they can.
OK all right off the other
what this man didn't know was that the operator it left the lift.
Lever in the raised position.
So the arms would rise automatically
when the engine started a qualified operator would have known
better man shouldn't have tried to perform as an operator
when he was if you did not run
check Pam on a no beginner.
Before you begin to change in a no ring on an excavator boom
and he checks spoiled temperature down
and Gen off back at grounded hydraulic lock engaged. OK.
He'll have that all ring installed in minutes.
Just
name change change that you won't fall in you know save yourself a minute.
You may damn well lose it all.
Wherever possible the stick should be extended in the moon lowered so the work can
be done at ground level finding
that impossible the next man used the service truck as a safe fork platform
my men with tools can create a hazard use the steps in the grab by KEEP IT least
three points of contact.
To be one hand on income for
any short time you're inviting injury.
In fact taking shortcuts is often a quick road to trouble for example consider what
happened to Harry Sanders Harry is coming to work with a problem.
His son is having a football injured knee operated on this morning.
Kerry wants to finish this job
and take a couple hours off to visit his son the operator is complain
that the scraper is shipped in too slow and the controls are sluggish in a hurry.
Harry pulls only one axle the service manual says to pull both axles
and disconnect steering
but Harry knows with want to accelerate move down the differential on the lock the
machine should move. He's taken a shortcut before.
While waiting for the operator to return a Harry starts the machine in order to
judge the problem while he waits for the engine to warm Aries thoughts grip the
worries about is
the accelerator feels dead.
So then he checks the feel of the service brake his attention is divided
thinking about his son is hands
and feet go through motions he believes have become automatic
and as absent minded states he
and consciously starts to steer jams his foot on the differential lock
and the machine takes all.
Lucky for the stunned operator the machine stops itself.
Area is only bruised
but in a crowded area it could have killed someone because he ignored safe
procedure to save a few minutes we're
most people have days when they come to work with worries hangovers or distraction.
Those are times for being doubly cautious when the body is on the job
but the mind is elsewhere. It's danger time.
Graham Greenwood was victim of another kind of mental hazard ego I don't much like
an X. Ray
but I got to first just give it away land knows the risk of striking hard against
badly chipped metal buddies where in safety glasses.
There is a macho thing about them doesn't want to use Brandis sneer at him
for being overly cautious. So bland shakes hands with danger.
Maybe his friend would have laughed if granted insisted upon playing it safe
but he sure as hell isn't Lavin now with tools
that time to make sure you have a safe
and is before you start using them they should be the right tools for the job
and in safe conditions if glans friended ground off
that mushroom face taken care of the tools I use is he could have prevented
that accident some
oldtimers think accidents happen only to agree.
You know I got to practice on you want to come take a look at them learn a hard way.
Let them learn the hard way can be an attitude that results in serious injuries.
Not one word of caution from the old timer would have saved a lot of pain
and loss for work time.
And even the old timers and lapse into care about the safety gap is correct
when he starts
but he doesn't think about how much he's grinding down at least he
gets by with it on
that longer feet in front of the
C.E.O.
Brian didn't we use in the middle are what made everything your job
bangers aren't the only things to think about
when working with track.
Would have a near miss.
Due to the mechanics failure to restrain the track before Ian loosened it at a high
point here.
They're about to push a high sprocket
and machine from an old set of tracks onto a new set with both tracks removed the
machine is free to roll on a slight grade it may just take all.
If they'd had an operator in the machine he could have stopped it by dropping the
Ripper or blade they should have planted proper block and restraint
but better still a should change one track at a time
and then there can't be a roll away. We got going here.
Hurry
and failure to heed safety warnings can also endanger those doing routine maintenance.
Despite constant warnings about hot oil
and pressure systems some optimised always things he didn't get his hand away in
time
needn't have happened.
The temperature gauge is pressuring gauges
and the safety caps on cooling systems are there to prevent accidents from
occurring.
The people who shake hands with danger
or those who don't learn before hand what they're getting into like the owner whose
brake rotor chamber isn't losing air pressure.
I got the brake chamber off the loader.
I gotta run into the dealers to get some repair parts where I'm going
when you take it apart to save us some time. OK.
At this point the service manuals call for the insertion of a threaded tool to hold
a spring force. Sam hasn't read the manual.
He doesn't know he's releasing a force
that might be as high as seventeen hundred fifty pounds.
Whether you're working on anything from nitrogen accumulators to inflated tires.
It pays to know the kind of power.
You're dealing with
or warnings about gasoline are as old as use of the few.
Yet somewhere somebody is always deciding it won't hurt to use it is it clean
and fluid just as one time. Always feel empty the pan very carefully.
Just as soon as he finds a rag to wipe off the carburetor.
Meanwhile the fuel keeps vaporized.
It's possible to become overconfident about handling dangerous materials
but good reason why safety instructions should be repeated at frequent intervals.
Idly enough. It isn't lack of familiarity with the job that causes most accidents.
Often it's the routine us of the work
that makes a person over confident a Bill Myers a change in buckets a job he's done
at least a hundred times. If he were new at it.
Bill would be watching and thinking about every step.
Now it's so routine
that caution has been though the
hole is dry the pin won't slide and there's no stick or swab in the grease can
but he could surely find one.
If he took the time to search around this is the moment that split second
when Amanda Size Me me and say or shaken hands with danger.
If he couldn't find a stick
or a swab bill could have added linking members moved to fart
and greased them separately.
It would have been news
that Bill Myers would give anything to be able to go back and do it the right way.
I got his foes off those player let's put this photo taken. All right.
He should have blocked both Pushkar
and he should never have relied upon anything as on the stable our crushable as
building blocks.
Improper blocking and failure to block are major causes of crushing accidents.
We're dealing with enormous weight
and we should never depend upon an eyedropper like solo him to hold it up through
the
decision
that was it was you working at the
vigil and it's always important to look out for the other guy.
Safety is always in the hands of people on the job
the warnings
and cautions are there for those who heed the safety
procedures are spelled out and illustrated in lubrication
and maintenance guy operators guides
and service man the protection is there in machine design
and safety devices
used to work for the safety instruction line.
Emphasizing knowledge and awareness prevents accidents by encourage
and safety consciousness
and protective clothing to help shield the body from the unexpected.
The human element remains.
It can lend itself to safety or turn a routine situation into a dangerous one.
They are right and we all know
that the service man doesn't always work under ideal conditions mechanic Murray is
an excavator with a dead engine. It won't start.
Which means the brakes are lock which means it's going to sit right here
and disconnect the final drive then he'll have a machine he can move.
What he should also have.
But does he is a second vehicle to provide breaking news
with your area
and it takes two man to move this thing
and I'll make a new one.
I'm Bob as he wouldn't try telling it all the way to the shop without him.
But he just wants to drag it a hundred yards or so and get
that foreman off his back.
Bob Murray will never again tell for you.
When machines have an control over the break.
It was lucky others were not
holding hands
when danger changes with change you shake
hands with danger. Changes with danger.
A friend
to me three things.
