Putting oneself in danger

Mark Hunt

yesterday and our new employee pointed out that the masons had built a tent made of plastic around an area that they would be working on outside of the house.

Problem is that our exhaust for the heating system is inside of the tent. When I pointed this out to the mason he said, "Ahhh, we're used to it". I told him that we were going to temporarily extend the exhaust out side of the tent so that none of them died from CO poisoning.

He stood there for a moment and finally said, "Thanks for caring". No problem.

Good catch by the new guy, but as you probably guessed, he is being drilled about CO safety.

Be careful out there!

I'm happy to see that you and your crew are looking out for other trades. We see stuff like that all too often. Poly going up around scaffolds and sticks after framing. Then the torpedo heaters and the like get cranked up. Usually there is enough infiltration to keep people from tipping over, but we've had whole crews get carted off to the hospital. I just don't know, this stuff isn't rocket science, but so many people seem to be clueless.

Mark, thank you very much for all your efforts.

Your awareness has prevented many potential deaths. You and your crew deserve a hardy cheer for doing what is right.

When you shave in the morning, you must just smile back at the good guy in the mirror. My hat is off to your training of your crew. Being aware is the important first step.
