The Arbalk morning register!

[Mick Dempsey]

Got rain here, hoping not too heavy as we’re going for it.

Not a big job so we’ll try and power through.

Igor healing nicely, getting used to the routine.
He’s coming to work today so that’ll make him happy.

[Doug Tait]

Good to hear Mick, hope Igor has a good day out.

Hoping Stubbs is well too, he been quiet this weekend...

 

Morning all.

No idea what the plan is here, find out when I get to the yard. Weather looks decent all week though.

 

Have a good one folks.

Splitting some stuff for the old farmer today.

Should be easy and under cover....I hope.

 

Have a good one.

[PeteB]

Old fashioned repping today, driving and talking, spreading the word.

Wasn't as committed to the training yesterday as I could have been so more to do today...

 

I've found there's two kinds of people on such courses... those who don't need to be there, and those who desperately need to be; and as a result I've shifted my interpretation of the course from how to operate around these "potential hazards" as a member of the first group, towards how to operate around people from the second group whilst they deal with the hazards. So it might seem pointless and banal, but I think there's still the potential for picking up some life-saving information.

I got to help some cartoon animation of a Sam Spade impersonator investigate how Peter had fallen while changing a lightbulb in his office. Spoiler alert, it was because he used a chair with wheels instead of the available and loler certificated stepladder he'd had training for.

And there was Jane who met an untimely demise at a nursing home because she tripped on the rumpled carpet on the stairs, it had been reported to management but not actioned.

 

This morning I sectioned down an Ash using a 201 and didn't have an incident, the training did it's job!

[peds]

God DAMN it, management!! Why wasn't this actioned?!
