This evening, I worked feverishly on cleaning and organizing the room. Which by the way, I made really great progress! I worked even to the point of going through all my scratchbuilding materials, building parts, etc. sorting by doors, windows, walls, detail parts, etc. I was working right along consolidating ballast into fewer containers (while leaning over the trash can), something fell off the table and I went to reach for it and stumbled over the trash can. No biggie, right? Uh...no. My leg managed to catch the old damaged flex track that I placed in the trash can. I managed to drag the two rails down the length of my leg under my knee. I looked down and could see the cut. I thought to myself. That's going to be a bleeder. Sure enough it was. It didn't hurt at first, but stings pretty good now! Good thing I got a tetanus shot recently. This is the third reportable injury since I started the original layout in 2010.
So, once again, RI Management must hang the Zero Days Without Injury sign at Ottawa Yard.
Back to safety school for employees again. Darnit!
I had an inquiry from a faithful reader of the blog. What are the stats of days worked without an accident.
The layout started construction in May 2010.
- 636 Days before the 1st Accident
- Sadly we only went 36 days before our 2nd Accident
- Since our safety program was implemented, we have done better, but still only 672 days until this most recent accident.
