Please check out the back of Decembers Safety magazine. The welder is in violation. He does not have his face shield down while he is welding.

Top 10 Willful?????? You owe me one pal!

My son was killed on the job doing what he was told to do, and he got killed. What I don't understand is this: Take a trucking company. Lets say they were fined 10 times and its always the same issue. Someone gets hurt or killed, OSHA fines them, They pay the fines and its business as usual the next day. So another life lost to negligence of the employer Who hires inexperienced ,untrained people to work for them. These companies whom are repeat rule offenders and pile up the violations then never do anything about it. They should be asking, "why did this happen" ,Or " lets dig in, fix it so it wont happen again" They have lack of ability to get and maintain good work safety standards no matter what it is.Because they dont care and they dont want to spend the money to fix and maintain their equipment.

Wouldn't these trucking company's rather pay $5,000.00 to get each of their trucks serviced yearly instead of waiting for someone to get killed or seriously hurt? If it were me, I would think that I would be able to rest a lot easier if that was done for mine. I would not have to worry that every time a driver leaves the yard that.tragedy may strike, But I don't do business living on the edge, I'm smarter than that!! .. ....My beloved son (age 35) was a seasoned log truck driver. He and his brother were very close, and it was big brothers B-Day. They were making plans to meet after work for dinner to celebrate. ......He was up at the crack of dawn, Making his lunch,Then he kisses his two children on the forehead and then kissing his wife. Thinking up ways to do something different for his brothers special day, only.2 days before, he was celebrating Fathers day. with his dad and step mom. HE was killed June 22, 2010 at 8:47 AM while helping a rookie driver down the mountain, all alone, the wheel caught on small tree stump It started rocking, and rolled over on my son,Crushing him too death for 8 hrs. before they could get a lowboy up to pull the truck off him.......Where is all the safety rules now?.... For one thing, they hired a non-experienced truck driver to drive switchbacks, hairpin turns and the type of truck used. was inappropriate and top heavy for the mountain roads.AND Where were the 2 men that were assigned to watch over my son the & the other driver while doing this very dangerous feat! When he died that day, I did too.
