take care out there......

Human error I guess, we all do it. I was reversing the bobcat the other day with a pallet of stock on the forks. So busy looking behind I didn't realise the weight of my foot was tipping the forks back towards me. Luckily the pallet was wider than the cab and it stayed in one piece............Little things, easily done.

I was working with a fork lift the other week. We were loading big logs on with it to load the trailer, well, I was pushing a log onto the forks while the driver was pulling up, the fork caught a stone, and released all of a sudden, the fork just slightly tapped my left bollock. Any more hard and it would have hitlered me! Be safe, especially when working with machines!

Had a crane on site to remove some big butts, cutting final section from the ground, (step cut) crane drive put tension on before i had finished and the section broke of and jammed my head between the lorry and the butt, lots of blood and the driver screamed "hes dead"..... i had just offerd my helmet to the crane driver who had forgot his.....fortunately he said no. was quite a impact! i got a shinny new helmet now thou:thumbup: Lessons learnt a) Be more accretive with crane operatiors b) live to the full you never know:

[Stereo]

I would give up on any thoughts of being stiff in the morning for the next 6 weeks. Sounds like you lost some serious blood.

In Scotland it is normal to fling your bunnet up the lobby to test the reaction from inside before actually entering:001_cool:

 

Is that the same as chucking a sausage up an alleyway? ?

I've worked with many crane operators in my time. Always insist on one experienced in working with trees, jobs alot safer and quicker that way. Glad ya ok ish

[Rob D]

Nasty but glad it wasn't more serious.
