During a training session on Hazard Recognition and Control we were teaching the class how look for potential hazards in the plant. During the group exercises one of the employees leaned on the 6' table and it collapsed and he fell on the floor. We forgot to check to ensure the tables were secured when we moved them around.
That reminds me of the company, down South, that gave out lock back knives as a safety award for going a year without an injury...yup!
One of the first people who tried to close their knife did it on company time and needed stitches, 9 of them.
