There has been a lot of safety related threads recently; it’s got me wondering how many of the folks here that do this for a living have a current certification. I did the course again last week (St. Johns Ambulance, two days, standard level), and it reminded me how important the training is if stuff starts hitting fans. Got lucky this time with a really good instructor.
BTW, I’m teaching again in the community college cabinetmaking program I taught in a few years ago; I’m committed there for the next year or so at least.I was only back a couple of weeks, and one of the guys cut two fingers on the tablesaw…..operator error, and the first serious accident I’ve ever had with anyone under my supervision. He’s doing fine, didn’t lose either finger, but it was sobering, and as always, it happens fast. With fourteen rookies under my eye, and a one year old daughter, I wouldn’t want to be without some training.
