You guys have clearly never heard of the Safety Squint.

Urban Dictionary: safety squint



Seriously, though, a lifetime spent working in some very hazardous shop and hangar environments has taught me the value of putting safety first. I can't even remember how many of our guys have been saved from serious injury, or even death, by making safety the first thing they consider. It's not just protective equipment, or a clean and tidy shop, or approved procedures - it's an attitude. A real mindset one must adopt to always be safe first. Even if "this will only take a second"... and your safety glasses are across the room - take two seconds and go get them. Every time. The little gremlins in our garages are laying in wait for that "...just this once...".
