Old Guy Safety Issue
Last week I was reading a construction magazine at work (don't recall the name) and I noticed in the back it lists accidents,causes , the persons name , age and severity of injury.
The thing that stuck me wasn't the accidents themselves but the age of the person . In the magazine I had most were in their high 40s to low 60s . That really made me take notice .
Not sure if being complacent is the biggest factor or not . I do think its a factor.
Now I don't want the older gentlemen to think I'm picking on them because I'm one of you . (Will be 52 at the end of November)
So older Gents tell us what you think.Was that magazine a fluke or is there something to that?
The reason I ask.....I don't want to be listed in that magazine.
