I just can't pass this by...
I have worked in industrial automation for about 17 years, almost daily I
work with 3 phase power at 460 volts or more, with electric motors that draw
100 Amps or more. The machines I automate inject molten aluminum in to a
mold at very high rates of speed and sometimes spraying out of the machine.
Castings that still are in the 700 degree range are everywhere. Hydraulic
systems running at up to 10,000 PSI where a small stream leaking from a
fitting can cut through you in an instant. I have all my fingers, and have
only missed 2 days of work to an injury. No I didn't get burned, squished,
or zapped, I went to get an ice cream sandwich for my daughter and a roast
fell out on my foot. I couldn't put my foot in a boot for 2 days.
These days I am much more cautious about the freezer....
Charlie.
