[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 4623, member: 13"] Gosh Nick you do not mention the half of it. Funny thing, in an idle moment just a few days ago I was reminiscing about the dangerous equipment we had at Airborne, in my view, just about everything there would not pass the OSH test now a days. All the same, there were few accidents, people used their noggins. Couple accidents I can think of was 1. me, unloading a truckload of honey with those very trolleys you described, one of them got away on me sliding down the ramp and went over the side. Trying to stop it I got in the way and went down under it, so landed on the ground with 5 full boxes of honey landing on top of me. 2. Arthur Gossett who got conked on the head by the Kelly Boom when the bearing broke, after some weeks recovery he returned to work but was never the same. Other thing, once a year an inspector from the then Department of Labour would come to check over the machinery. I overheard a huge row between him and Jasper, the inspectors main concern was the woodwork shed. But Jasper would not conceed an inch, flat refused to make any of the changes the guy recommended. Did not seem to be any penalties if you did not comply. [/QUOTE]
