Somehow I learned that stove burners were hot, blades were sharp, jumping instead of climbing out of trees hurt a lot more. When I found myself in a volunteer fire department I realized this was not a smart move, but an opportune one of ultimate responsibility – watch your a**, the ceiling, the floors, be sure you have water and air, and good people with you.

I climb radio towers, part of my hobby to help communicate in time of need. No one is on that steel with me but 30# of web and clips and my 160# of hope-my-brain-works-right – it all has to – I’m coming down on my own power, packing my own gear, driving myself home!

Yes, I expect my employers will provide obvious safety, and respect it when problems are pointed out, and risk stops until we figure it out, but no one should leave home telling their spouse “be sure to get a good lawyer to soak the company if I get stupid and hurt myself…” – leave the house with “I’ll do the best *I* can to come home!” How much time and productivity has been wasted by workers calling the shop steward over to assess a slippery floor or object left in their path versus cleaning it up and moving on?

I work with animals and I have been trained on how to properly handle and restrain them so we are both kept out of harms way. So much for that! I got bitten on the throat by a dog. When it comes right down to it I think the only job training that can prevent workplace injuries would be training to predict the future. Animals are unpredictable, the dog that bit me had never been aggressive before and I had handled him many times. I take full responsibility for my injury but I don’t necessarily believe I could have prevented it. At the end of the day you clean up the blood, slap on a band aid (or two or three) and get back to work.

I think the result of the bailouts will cause business to take more risk. Why not, if you make a mistake someone else will pay for it. Which of course is the same thinking regarding employees and safety being the responsibility of the employer.

I don’t agree that it’s human nature to want someone else to pay for your mistakes. I think human nature is just the opposite. Once someone else pays for your mistakes, they own you. Maybe that is worth the price to someone who just bought your dignity.
