I teach ,I never try to belittle someone ,unless its over and over .
little things ignored or passed on to others to fix ,when its all the time is not acceptable ,its the little things that are the things that kill
Example ,,power cord on a job site ,,nick in it that all wires show ,but so far its not shorted so it goes on ignored .its just a little nick
But I have a man washing tools in a 5 gal bucket ,,common on a drywall job or a mason job .
He is splashing water everywhere ,,can that nick kill him ?
5 little bolts left out of a lubrication box on a locomotive ,no big deal right ?
Until the wick works all the way out ,the wheel gets cut off from brass intrusion ,and now its a $25.000.00 mistake ,5 bolts
Main line tied up so no other locomotives can pass ,
another locomotive and crew has to be sent to take its place ,
2 crane cars and the crews to run them have to remove the locomotive off the rail ,over 200 tons ,and the damage the huge chunk of metal out of control cost ,it was good that it was in an unpopulated place not at a crossing .
People I pulled dead out of the water had life jackets ,guess where they were ?
So I see teaching others to do things right the first time as life saving .
its always the simple things that cause fires and sink ships ,
but I have seen more then my share of death caused by stupid things ,so maybe I do see demons on door knobs ,,,but I also have saved lots of lives
I was able to save them from their stupid mistakes no one thought was a big deal until it was ,,,
How did I get so wise ?
I have made more then my share of mistakes ,,,I am the one who left the 5 bolts out ,,and was almost killed over a power cord I was told to get off the job
