Foresight Needed to Prevent an Eye Injury
A major customer has gone ballistic upon hearing that the delivery he was expecting two days ago hasn’t been shipped.
The directive comes swiftly: “Finish the order tonight, people. No excuses.” As you prepare to cut a small piece of metal, you realize your safety glasses lie 10 feet away.
You take a step toward them and then think: “I don’t have time for this. It’s only one quick cut.”
As the blade bites into the metal pipe, it takes a second for your brain to register the intense pain of metal shavings piercing your right eye.
As you struggle to avoid passing out, a single word throbs repeatedly in your brain: “stupid, stupid, stupid.”
