    Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    “You’ve got to ask yourself a question:  ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?” *

    Do you feel lucky? Well do ya? My dear testosterone pumped reader, sometimes it’s better not to rely on luck. It’s better to assume Murphy’s Law and plan for contingencies.

    Think, “Hmmm, although I have never fallen, maybe I should get a Res-Q Step.” Or,”Hmmm, maybe I should wear safety glasses when mowing the lawn.” Or “Who knows when Mr OSHA man (or women) might plan a visit to your work site? Those fines are quite inconvenient.”

    As I read my weekly OSHA updates I wonder what people were thinking. And I can only come to one conclusion: plan ahead or else like Dierk Bentley sings,  you’ll be saying “What was I thinkin’?” And that’s really something you should reserve for your love life not for work.

    *Thanks goes out to Dirty Harry for his great line.
