A Hazard of the Job

Health and safety meetings and plans are part of a lot of work places. The idea is to reduce the unexpected - that is anticipate the things that can cause a safety issue. The picture below shows a safety issue that has caught me and recently gave an associate a problem. 


The cobble beach makes for tricky footing as the cobbles shift while walking and can also be slippery. Hence, one gets preoccupied with watching carefully where to place a step. Hence, it can be easy to loose site of a large sharp log sticking at out at 5 feet 8 inches above the ground.

It is sort of a funny thing to receive a hard joust from a stationary spear or log. Its even funny when it happens to you, but it sure can hurt while at the same time making one feel very silly.

Equivalent to someone on a sidewalk in town, looking down at his cell phone, and walking into a pole.
