I have always believed that danger lies in the familiar. It's easy to become lax when you have done something a million times and are doing it the one milion and oneth time. <br /> <br />When I was in the navy, the catch frase that was used over and over until it was drilled into our heads was, "Attention to detail", which says it all. <br /> <br />When I went to school for diesel technology, one of my teachers also had a good saying, " The Iron is stupid, you have to think for it" <br /> <br />When I was slinging cargo in the navy, once there was a guy that was standing next to a forktruck with solid wheels that was picking up a load that we had just pulled the slings. As the truck backed up, the wheel ran over his boot. The wheel only went along the edge of his boot, but it cinched down the steel toe over his toes, even the best protection sometimes is not enough. <br /> <br />I may not be a rail worker, but my heart goes out, stay safe !
