no just the ones to say i have the correct ppe. I got tought how to use my machine on the secon week there an been shown bits on top as have been there.

So are you actually trained to use the machine?

I get the feeling there is more to this story.

That literally made no sense bmot.

bmot+large heavy machinery=inevitable conclusion.

You need to be pm-ing Damo. You can be one of his unemployed podcasting guinea-pigs.

Why didn't you kick stop the laithe before you tried to remove the braided tube?

Common sense tells you that on machinery like that, if anything, AND I DO MEAN ANYTHING needs to be removed or in any way stops you from carrying out what you need to do, you stop the machine first. And that's not H&S b0110cks, that's basic 'stop yourself from being killed or injured.'

I even learned that in school in CDT lessons. If our teacher saw anyone operating a laithe without removing their school tie first, he would beat the shiit out of them, because at the end of the day, it was HIM who would cop the flak for it if anything bad happened.

If he'd have turned it off sooner, it wouldn't have happened at all.

Good shout. He could do a rap about the dangers of sticking your hand into a moving machine entitled [iHow My Hand Ended Up Like Jeremy Beadle's[/i.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Can you imagine if his damaged hand is the one that he uses to write his CV's with? What a travesty.

Nothing that can't be overcome with a bit of creativity. He could present his CV as a video of him performing a beat poem describing his positive qualities, with Damo on the bongos.
