[papercreters] Re: OH forgot be safe

Thanks for sharing this Ken.

I think it is very important for all of us to share our "near miss"
stories. Every time we read about a close call, it reminds all of us
to be extra careful.

Construction accidents happen every day, and for many reasons. This
is not unique to papercrete.

Gloves, safety glasses, shields, guards, and other safety equipment
are all important but they only can do so much.

THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE IS YOUR BRAIN. USE IT!
