Just think, somebody had to give their own blood before a regulation was finally made to stop this from happening to employees in the workplace.We were not the ones. Somebody went before us to pave the way for safety to get better in this country.To think that the Hoover Dam had many men fall into the concrete while being poured only to have another man take their place all because the job had to continue while the trucks kept pouring in to dump more concrete.The next time that a pesky, hot, safety device that you have to wear starts bugging you, remember that they could have used these devices and programs back in 1940. Lives would have been saved and limbs spared.Ole "Dangerous Dale" saying: be safe!
