For those of you that don't know, I'm a senior project manager on a pretty big hospital construction site. My Super came to me this morning and said we had an iron worker get hurt today. This is the conversation...
Super: "We had a iron worker get hurt and go to the ER this morning" Me: "What happened, is he alright?" Super: "Well he said he sat on his balls and injured himself." Me: "WTF do you mean?" Super: "Yea, he said he sat down on a beam and hurt his nuts." Me: "So they checked him out in the ER?" Super: "Yea, he took a break than returned to work." Me: "Did he submit for a drug test?" (as he is required to do) Super:"Well no, he says he smokes dope every night so it would come back positive anyway." Me: "So I don't have to ask you if you showed him the gate and called his office, right?" Super: "Done" Sometimes I don't know how more of these dumbasses don't get killed everyday.

iron workers tend to be a pretty tough bunch. i can't imagine the the rest of the connecting crew would let him snivel about a little testicular contact. your company got off cheap paul, he was a death claim waiting to happen. lots of hang low if you can sit on them.

Hey, Paul.
I was having a little trouble trying to visualize the injury you described. Then I realized I didn't really want to visualize it! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

Little different here in the office. If the elevator goes out, everyone will stand by the door for hours until it gets fixed with a nice set of stairs just off to the left.
If someone isn't "feeling" good, the go home. Paper cut - go home. Shoes got wet - go home. You get the picture. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |

I had a cousin like that. Notice I said had, long story but lets say it was more than 4 story fall. If he would have been tied off, he just might still be here today. |

I had a pipe-fitter working for me years ago who one day called on the radio, "man down, man down".
Everyone immediately started searching for him. We finally found him curled up on the floor of a porta-potty. I don't know how but he got his "jewels" caught under the toilet seat just as he was sitting down, you can picture the rest. Ouch! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) It took him a long time to live that one down. |

I had one of the slugs on my crew Bump his head on the radar dish on a 737 no cut no blood and he milked it out for 15 weeks of OJI time off (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) . For those of you who did not know the radar dish pivots back and forth and tilts up and down you can push it out of the way with one finger. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)

Apparently he didn't get a chance to clean all of the stems out of the bag before he "crotched" it, I recommend he double-bagged next time to prevent such injuries. One of the many hazards of drug abuse! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif)

Yep, had an ironworker (the lead) refused to tieoff argued that "he wasn't ever gonna fall, only pussys do" I left to get my boss.....and sh*t the guy fell 2 stories onto to the offloaded steel. Imagine a watermelon hitting a big steel beam.
Since I was in the process of reporting him the company got off the huge fine from L&I. Geoff |
