Steel Toe Saves the Worker’s Day!!

Dec 2, 2019 .. the company phone rang and the person calling said’ “Ma’am, naay aksidente ….”

 

Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning. Red sky at night, shepherds delight.

 

The sky can show us signs and we then know what it meant. How convenient it would be if all circumstances are like that but whether we like it or not, life has this unpredictable variable — ACCIDENTS — and one of our team members had his unpleasant encounter.

This incident no surprise for a construction company for others may tell us worse but it would be a lie if we’ll say we are not alarmed.

We rushed to the hospital and have his feet x-rayed and thank God no fracture was found.

 

The doctor said, “maygani ma’am kay naka steel toe, kung wala pa, fracture gyud ni.”

 

Wearing COMPLETE PPE sure is life saving!

 

Construction Workers oftentimes find wearing complete PPE a hassle but this incident is one of the moments when wearing PPE saved a person from an even more hassle situation.

Accidents can’t be predicted but can be prevented

This is an old saying but still remains true. So if you have a family member who works in a field like us, CONSTRUCTION, encourage them to wear their complete PPE for we treasure them more than they know.
