Just a reminder to not neglect the "smaller" hazards. This story is not related to the electrical industry, but is relevant to those who work with large trucks. I good friend of mine died on Monday due to a head injury sustained a few weeks ago. He was very young and in good health.
He was working on a salt-spreader on a dump truck and took a misstep and fell striking his head. The fall was probably from less than a 6 foot height.
The point is:
1) Wear your hard hat at all times. I'm not sure it would have made any difference in this case, but I don't think it could hurt.
2) Always watch foot placement when in the air or otherwise.
3) Always maintain the three-point contact rule when elevated.
Just hoping we can all be just a little more vigilant after a young needless death. It's hard to be cautious at all times.
