[R-390] Safety

[Dan Merz]

Hi,  there's another aspect to safety.  Even the most knowledgeable and
savvy make mistakes for some reason.  I think that's why more enlightened
employers have safety meetings,  to reduce the incidence by heightening
awareness.  One of the really practical, experienced and knowledgeable guys
that I worked with was badly burned because he  made a mistake,  defying
common sense in what he was doing.  Fortunately, he was only burned across
his hand by an electrical event. The point is,  even he could have used more
reminding in this area.  I thank Roy for pointing out the hazard of double
fused line plugs a while back and also encouraging me to properly fuse the
variac that I had used for years as a two wire, ungrounded source for
various projects.  I welcome hearing about these things again occasionally.
Dan.
