home OH & S

[youda]

My over enthusiastic neighbour dropped by to watch me do a clutch on my VR4 AMG and decided to point out the my home "workshop" clearly does not meet OH & S standards.
Apparently:

The tread depth on my korean work boots did not meet standards.
While flexability is encouraged i did not bend at the knees while lifting gearbox into place and operating engine crane
my cut up ratchet strap supporting gearbox had no Safe work load sticker.
i had oil leak onto floor ( i did explain that i had called up BP to help plug the leak but was told it would take a few days and up to 18 attempts.)
the numerous jonny walker cans on the floor may be a slight trip hazard.


ill let you guys decide.

What was your neighbour doing talking when he should have been helping? AT least I hope he was doing the fridge run to get you drinks.

Tell your neighbour to take his skirt off and harden the F*ck up!

The only thing that I noticed wrong was a complete lack sparks from unnecessary welding...

At a cause of my day to day job, I often find myself having a think about what I am actually doing sometimes - and what procedures would be in place to ensure that no-one would get injured (similar to what your neighbor has pointed out - I am assuming it was all tongue in cheek). However in all honesty, everyone does a small risk evaluation (in their head) when doing something in the backyard. If you thought that you would probably loose your hand doing something, you wouldn't do it!

Backyard FTW!
