I side with many of you on accidents happen, right.
But when a man drops a cross arm or drops a wrench is there anything that could prevent things like that from happening or prevent people on the ground from getting hit. Way too many times there are men cleaning up underneath guys when they are still working above. I don't call that an uncontrolled accident. I call that @#&^%*& ^%$#&.
Some of the work may be necessary while work is going on above, but not the amount we do consistently.
I think barricading off the area is a good start but the one doing the barricading is the one chomping at the bit to get in that area. I think it is a behavior that needs changing and I think we can do a lot with the problem we have with dropping stuff. I was just asking for feedback about how you would fix some of the unintentional drops. Getting out from underneath is good but we still haven't fixed the problem of the stuff that is dropping.
I appreciate all your comments I just think that this is a big area that needs attention. Way too many accidents are preventable, not all but many.
