Hi,

         It was only a scratch but it cost him his arm!


He just caught his hand on the window frame and scratched it slightly.

He never bothered to apply anything to it or take any precautions- after it was only a scratch.

Several days later his arm became painful. He stopped off work and went to the doctor. Unfortunately it was to late to apply the ordinary remedies and he was sent to the hospital.

Amputation was found to be necessary and in due course he left the hospital with but ONE arm.

He never cleaned windows again and to-day he is one of that vast number of helpless cripples who are dependant on charity for their mere existence.

A moments attention to the scratch in the fist place would have saved the arm and all the misery attendant upon its loss.



                                   SAFETY FIRST!


(Accidents similar to the above occur almost every day.)

Some of the things we come into contact with contain very nasty germs. I can remember encountering bird poo, cat and dog poo, dead birds, rats and leaking manhole covers.

I'm sure you can add to this list.

Bloody hell the amount of times i've cut my finger whilst working and cracked on. I rememeber a guy stabbed me in the hand with a scrapper by accident one day and I left it and carried on. Another thing I've noticed is wc's cleaning bird poo off windows all morning and then getting their lunch out the van and scoffing it without washing their hands
