I think the pic says it all. Nobody was harmed in the making of this picture, but now I've got to figure out how to unwind my shirt...  |

LOL did that while carrying too much crap in my hands and the C-12 decided to screw my shirt. Now a glue-up shirt... and since then, never get glue on the shirt! As for setting the shirt free, get some sleep then just release the pad  |

Thank goodness you were not hurt.
When I was doing some of my engineering training an instructor told us never to wear a tie at work - that was in the days when even young people wore ties when they went out on a Saturday evening!
The instructor told us the awful tale of the guy whose tie got caught in a metal working lathe - he was scarred for life as his face was reshaped by the big chuck. Needless to say we all took off our ties there and then.

being over tired at work is bloody dangerous. its those times when are guard is down just slightly when we get bit. imagine that was a saw or router. I work on average 15 to 16 hours a day and have had a few close calls towards the end of the night...... well I did catch my pinky and ring finger with an Olfa knife a few weeks back so close call nothing.

Dam good excuse not to wear the wedding ring if ever I heard one I'm a lefty and the wedding ring has to be a "going out" thing, otherwise it drives me crazy. I just can't understand how blokes work wearing rings  Scary thing about the bad tool accidents - often the victim can't tell the story  |

I always remove my signet ring if I am doing any form of work. Peter |

A similar thing happened to me in my younger days. Luckily it only cut to the bone. Also, while working in an auto repair shop I saw a fellow worker accidentally lay his expandable wrist watch band across a positive battery post and then to ground. It instantly glowed bright red and sunk deep into the flesh. I grabbed his arm and shoved it into a tub of cold water. They dug it out at the hospital. Way back I decided there was no reason for a man who spends his life working around such hazards to own any jewlery at all. I've never had a wedding ring, and it has not been a problem for my wife in 42 years. She'd rather see me with all my fingers.  |

As we are on a safety roll....
Have any of the UK (or other) FOGgers heard of a company called Arco? They specialise in safety kit for all sorts of environments. I found one of their trade shops by accident last Saturday and took a look inside. They have some super stuff and the prices look good.

I kept catching it on things and I was afraid that I would lose the finger and possibly more if it caught in the wrong tool. |

Lots of good lessons here. In my situation I knew I was tired but figured I'd be okay pulling an all nighter because I was finished doing any cuts (other than using a flush-cut hand saw to cut my plugs in the floor). Wasn't thinking when I bent over the mft to sand out some blade burn marks in a rip of Brazilian cherry and my t-shirt was hanging loose enough to get caught. Of course it happened at a near-instantaneous rate, so I was just lucky that the motor stalled out before it totally ate my shirt. Glad I wasn't using the ro125...  Floor is DONE, except putting a coat on shortly... |

They are JMB - that is aircraft handling grade stuff - if you look carefully you will find something to suit a normal FOGger's wallet!

I am always very careful about my clothing getting caught, about 15 years ago it happened and never since. Still, I never really bothered with my hair. Of course that came to bite me.
Once I did not put my hair up and got it caught in a spindle sander, my head was in that cast iron table in a blink. I could not get myself out and if my kid was not home to help I would have had to cut my hair off at the scalp to get out. Not that I had anything close to do that. I was stuck in there for a couple hours while I was untangled!
Now it's always up in a ponytail and hidden in my shirt.

Quite a few years ago, a former colleague who had long hair was working on a teletype when his hair got caught in the main shaft.  A new kid that was working with him that day just thought he was frustrated and banging his head on the machine. When this fellow got himself free, he had a rather large and bloody place where he's been partially scalped. My former spouse used to get her undies in a wad about me not wearing a wedding ring to work (as an electrician). Despite detailed explanations of the realities of the electrical world, she never did understand much of anything, sadly. The good news is that I'm rid of her and still have all ten digits. Seems like a win-win situation for me... |
