To promote safer jobsites, JLC occasionally publishes articles that focus on safe work practices, OSHA requirements, or specific safety gear. But our most engaging safety articles are always the ones we call “Lessons Learned,” personal narratives describing incidents that have happened to JLC readers or their crew members. As subscriber Steve Wright notes in the optional comments section accompanying the survey, “As safe as you are, sometimes accidents happen.”
In our most recent survey, almost 40% report some type of jobsite accident … that’s a statistic that should get your attention. JLC is still looking for responses to the survey, as well as for your story (if you are willing to share it), so take a few minutes before heading back to work after a long holiday weekend and vote.
