Where does one draw the line is a good question tbone, being men and thinking of ourselves we tend to border on the line of safety sometimes, we have all done it, reached that bit more than we should when on a ladder etc.......
One thing that was drummed into me when I was an Apprentice was safety, after a year in the training school we were let loose in the ship yard, this was an eye opener, seeing some of the things that went on made me cringe at times, but the basics I learnt never left me, but out in the yard you pick up some sayings and three of them have never left me, and I pass them on to Apprentice,s now.
1 Never put your fingers were you wouldnt put your Dick.
2 If in doubt pull out
3 If it was your car brakes and your wife and kids were in the car would you still drive it.
