At any rate, I opened the tome and began reading the letter in the front that told me that I was important enough that they wanted to keep me safe. Just like a mama might do. Then on the 2nd page, also like a mama, there was a little lecture about there being no such thing as fate and that accidents were avoidable. There were some general safety rules on pages 3 through 7, but after that I got pretty confused. I trudged on though, since it was my very safety at stake! I’m happy to say that I’m sure I’ll be safe if I ever find myself welding, using an axe, a hatchet or a concrete mixer. I now know the standard hand signals for overhead, crawler, locomotive and truck boom cranes. The only thing I can’t figure out is what any of those things are. But, no fear! If I can figure out which is which, I can signal them properly and avoid danger!
When I got to page 114, the title made me smile. “Office Safety” is what it said. Now, THAT was something that seemed familiar. And I must say that number 7 made me shake my head in agreement. “Do not lick envelopes; their edges may cut your tongue.”
I knooooow, right?
or, you could end up like Susan, George Costanza's fiance who does from envelope glue poisoning!

ReplyDeleteGeneral Motors has a whole course in office safety, mandatory, plus video refreshers that you have to watch every three months. One of my favourite parts of the course was Meeting Safety. For example, one must never, ever start any meeting without first going over the locatiopns of emergency exits, fire extinguishers and rest rooms.
