Health And Safety

Chatting to a couple of guys last week at Birmingham truck stop reminded me of something that happend a a year or so ago to me
Visited a local scrap yard where there’s a sign that requesting drivers where hi vis and hard hats on site even in your cab well on that day i did and was very glad i did , a piece of frag came off the frag machine the size of a tennis ball went through my sun roof landing on my hard hat splitting it , if i had not had it on i would be dead now without doubt so theres a lesson, we moan about these rules but sometimes they save lifes

Dangerous places these scrap metal fragmentation yards, once saw a piece of metal the size of a man hole cover come flying out of the machine at Sims in Avonmouth dock and went flying a full 100 foot or more, no one hurt luckily. Sounds like someone was watching over you that day .
