My experience with this situation
If you were to take a look at the age group of workers who are seriously injured, you would see mostly younger and older people. My belief is the younger are not trained yet or are not being properly trained, and the older ones have had 'good' luck and their luck has run out. How many times does one hear '120 can't hurt ya!'. Also look at some of the accident reports and you will see more than one person is injured! [bold]The consequences of being injured on a job go well beyond just the individual who gets hurt[/bold]. The NO. ONE KILLER VOLTAGE in this country is 120 volts.
Not too long ago I saw 2 presentations on safety that will make any person think twice, one was by Bussmann, the other was presented by the Power Authority.
The work you do today could affect somebody tomorrow.
I am not picking on anyone, just adding my 2 cents!
