Default Yikes!

There are definite procedures about sending drums out for decontamination before using that sort of gear - I would imagine the company will have some explaining to do.
Glad Greg is OK.

Default Workplace Safety

Hi Robert - two of the most dangerous practices in the past and apparently still now, is the exploding drum and tyre splitrims flying of the rim if the tyre is still under pressure. What happened to Greg is inexcusible in this day and age. He is a very lucky boy.

Default lotto ticket

Glad Greg survived that one, time he bought a lotto ticket, sounds like mismanagement, they didn,t train the last bloke too well. Hope they don,t show him how to operate a 9" grinder next. Gut busting went out with the ark, forklifts and hydraulics saw to that, good workshop practice and trained staff with the right equipment mean the heaviest thing he picks up is the 1" rattle gun.

and make sure he knows to speak up if he feels something is not right. He might be new but safety always comes first. His fresh eyes might just come up with some better ways.

Greg has started using the forklift at work and they want the tops cut out of drums again. Greg was sent to buy a nibbler today so he can cut the drums tomorrow morning.
I'm back driving the Western Star while the owner and his wife are on a P&O cruse.
