Accidents

The other night i was watching the news and saw a news clip of the West Virginia mine accident. It kinda scared me a bit. It had many questions going trough my head . What would happen if I were in a construction accident. What would happen if I was injured who would care for my family? I had so many thoughts running through my head. So i started looking at some of the statistics of the injurie rates for construction workers. I found that in 2009 the Death rates for construction accidents had actually dropped. it is the lowest rate in four years. when i saw this i actually was surprised. it didnt make me worry as much but i stilll find it kind of scary. THe death rate was 3 in 2009 compared to 19 in 2008 12 in 2007 and 18 in 2006. the death rate dropped 85% from 2009 to 2008. I think the is crazy. it shows how much people have taken safety into consideration while they are working. I know when i work i take safety into consideration because i dont want to end up with out a finger when i cut a wrap or i dont want to burn my arm pretty serious because i want to get shit done and not take my time. Actually the other day i was trying to rush through my stuff so i could get out and go hangout with my friends so i went and hurried through my duties and i spilt about a cup of fryer grease onto my arm. ever since then i have took into consideration my safety. i burnt my arm so bad that i dont want to have that happen again. to be honest with you it scared me more then anything. so know that i have had my own accidents i have deffinately taken safety into consideration more now because i have seen that and i looked on youtube and saw some pretty bad accidents.
