They put up these funny little urine color charts by the toilets at work to see if the color of your piss shows you are dehydrated. It has been hot, and we are woring lots of 12 hr shift on top of that. Guys are getting worn down, thats for sure. I had a heat headache all last week.
So with the heat over the last few weeks has anyone else had a spike in accidents like my work? In the last three weeks we have had a finger almost get smashed off in a crane hook accident. Then last week we had a guy loose his footing and blow out his knee. And the worst was a few days ago a guy hit a cushman cart with a 7000# tank on the front of a huge towmotor. I have never drank so much water as the last two weeks from this heat. I think the guys are just hot and not paying attention.
LOL my room at work was hard to work in the last few hours of my shift today. We had a air vent break(forced outside air) And the kiln was running around 1870 degrees, with out the air movement it got hot fast. When I left our little office was 108 and back by the kiln it was around 120 and climbing. It should be fun the rest of the week. My leathers are starting to fit nicely as my fat ass has dropped some weight this summer already.
As of right now I only get sunday off. but sometimes I get home so late from work a early start is not gonna happen. I plan to get a ride in this up coming week sometime.
