I think he found the perfect backhoe for the job.

I was planning to spend the weekend with my brother. He had just bought a house, and he wanted me to come see it. I left right after work on Friday, so I planned to arrive late. My brother told me that would be fine, as he had planned to tackle some projects around the house if he could find the perfect backhoe for the job. It was dark when I pulled into his driveway. I wanted to surprise him, so I shut my lights off. As I pulled up next to the house, I got a surprise of my own. I drove into a huge hole, and did a lot of damage to my new car. As he shined his flashlight into the hole and helped me climb out of it, I thought to myself… I think he found the perfect backhoe for the job.

The basics of roofing should include instruction on the effects of nails on new tires.

I had just purchased a brand new car. This was my first new car, so I was proud of my accomplishment. I was getting ready to leave for work one morning and noticed that my neighbor had hired a contractor to replace the roof on his home. I didn’t make it to work on time that day. I left my house with plenty of time to spare. And, I didn’t run into a lot of traffic. I had to stop and change a tire. The car had been in my possession for less than a week, and I already had a flat. When I had the tire checked out at a local shop, two roofing nails were discovered. I knew they had come from my neighbor’s project, and sure enough, when I got home, I discovered almost twenty additional roofing nails in my driveway. Tires go flat everyday, from roofing nails that are not properly disposed of. You would think that when contractors learn the basics of roofing, they would be taught how to properly dispose of materials, like roofing nails. Surely they know that the nails are capable of puncturing a tire. You would think that they would be more careful.

Don’t move those auto parts until you’ve obtained forklift certification.

Whether it’s a factory that manufactures new automobiles or auto parts, a garage that replaces and repairs parts, or a business that install auto accessories, parts need to be moved around on a regular basis. If you are employed by one of these industries, don’t attempt to move anything with a forklift until you have obtained forklift certification. The law requires that individuals be certified before operating a forklift. A training program must be completed, and the employee must pass both a written knowledge test and a driving test. Until certification is obtained, no employee should get behind the wheel of a forklift. Accidents and injuries can hapen easily, if an untrained employee operates equipment and is not trained to do so.
