A tool, or anything for that matter is only as dangerous as the idiot holding it.
Dead on, TRUE statement!!!!!!!!!A tool, or anything for that matter is only as dangerous as the idiot holding it.
Dead on, TRUE statement!!!!!!!!!
It used to be said back when I was being trained that firefighting was the most dangerous occupation a person could have, and a chainsaw was the most dangerous tool on a rig. And while I can say firefighters have made huge safety advances, chainsaws are still the most dangerous tool we carry amongst the hundreds of tools on a fire truck.
I know more loggers who have died on the job than firefighters.
Radial arm saws are no joke with all the pushing and pulling you end up doing. But if I had been operating it correctly and not showing off I wouldn't be telling a story about how I have chest skin on my finger from a graft.
The number one thing that gets me is those damn flat head screwdrivers. Always slipping off the screw and taking chunks of finger meat on the way by.

You're right. Mostly because we have to follow NFPA safety standards or we get suspended by the department safety officer and we keep our gear in better condition. The other reason is that there are more loggers than firefighters.
But, at the risk of coming off as an internet tough guy, don't even think about insinuating that logging is a more dangerous job. Because that is, put simply, a lie.
