Be honest now please

[Rich2484]

I just want smoke grenades now. Where do you buy them from and how much?

 

Any marine shop. Got some first for my boat then thought about putting them in the wagons so a heli can find you easier if you need to call one. Or even for an ambulance on the road can see them.

 

Thought it was a good idea. Although I must say I did play with the parachute flares in the woods when I got them. Man do they go up some height.

How many of you use a chainsaw on your own n be honest as i wont/dont do it etc

 

they frighten the hell out of me the damage they could do how would you get help bleeding to death etc

 

so be honest and confess or am i being over the top with safety etc accidents are real and cause havoc to lives

 

Well it depends how you interpret 'on your own' on site i'm always with a colleague but when i'm back in the yard at my own house processing timber into fire wood i'v always got dogs with me , but i always make sure that they have the correct PPE on and carry a first aid pouch on there collar, Jack , the Jack Russell, is also first aid trained.

Yes , he can , full Cardiopulmonary resuscitation C.P.R. he's also fully trained in Acute care of at Risk Newborns and Endoscopic foreignbody retrieval, took me years to train him and its still a work in progress.

really don't want to know how you trained for that one.

[harvey b davison]

about 50 / 50 i'd say, like all, first aid and mobile at all times. But then again i prefer to work on my own, always have.

I reckon if the dog thinks there's a gerbil up there it might be easier.:lol:

Wor newset dog happens to be a Jack Russel from the Pound.

He is pretty hot on the CPR/mouth-to-mouth stuff.

The wee pervert likes to slip the tongue in mind.

I have worked on oil tankers with no form of medical aid if it goes wrong (ship won't pull in to a port), plus on my own on construction site in central Brazil, where I claimed I was the chief engineer; that way they would fly me to a hospital - against basic treatment, a lot of accidents (skin hanging off the structures). Worked for the Sandinistas during the Contra war - no chance if that went wrong. You get to learn how to avoid risks and work safe, now with saws mostly on my own; I don't work if I see any risk (not my tree), or feel the job is beyond my skills, carry a phone. Most of the risk is trips etc, minor things have gone wrong but no accidents. I work on the basis, if I have any form of near miss, I work out a new procedure so it won't happen next time - hopefully. I actually find it more of a risk to have people giving me advise I don't need, loosing my focus and looking around for idiots walking into my space.
