  1. Something has been gnawing at me for several months, I'm interested in what others think. In the past 5 months or so I've had several different contractors doing work around the house. New flooring, door replacement, and the shop that's being built as I type. There were also quite a few instances of my headache with contractors at the last house....and I couldn't decide whether to remind them about safety. Actually, I could decide; I did nothing. But here's the dilemma, some of these guys are so unsafe with their work habits I kept the phone in hand to dial 911. the worst i saw was the laminate flooring guy doing free hand cuts on a bench top table saw, even "rip" cuts were done freehand, the fence was taken off the saw and lay in the grass next to where he was working. No eye protection, no nothing. Same with the door installer, though he wasn't using a table saw. The Amish crew building my shop have nothing in way of PPE, and they are walking around on the roof making cuts with small chain saws, using pneumatic nailers, miter saws, circ saws and whatever. The leader of the Amish crew was talking to me about table saws, and showed me the scars on both thumbs where he ran them into the saw blade. The thumbs were not severed off (apparently), just badly cut. The concrete crew had no problem gassing up their power trowel while they were smoking, and the list goes on and on. Like I said, I'm just waiting to dial 911...what would you do? Calling them out on safe practices would almost certainly be unwelcome (to them) and I suspect to potentially lead to legal woes.
