Sparky Life

Work Fails That Will Save Your Life (True Stories)

Lia Lamela Season 2 Episode 129

Two TRUE construction stories that prove why safety isn't optional. 

Story 1: The Elevator Shaft of Shame - A superintendent ignored safety warnings for weeks. Then karma struck. 

Story 2: The Fan Blade Incident - Billy Bob made one lockout/tagout mistake. The result? Mangled fingers, emergency surgery, and his company used his own safety paperwork against him.

We in the trades are builders, problem solvers, and spark-makers. But we're also human. These stories aren't just cautionary tales - they're reminders that safety protocols exist for a reason. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, these real experiences will make you think twice before cutting corners.

Subscribe for more real talk about the skilled trades - no BS, just the truth that could save your career or your life. Share this with your crew during your next toolbox talk. Trust me, it'll get their attention better than hearing the same safety rules for the 1000th time.
