how dangeroos is your job?

My job is dangerous. I'm in danger of falling asleep on my keyboard every day.

I used to play with tanks and guns and shoot people. That was interesting.

My dads gardener died of tetanus. Who would think pruning roses was so dangerous

I write code as part of my job... If the persons using the software would ever get their hands on the name of the tw*t who wrote it, it would become pretty dangerous for me...

I am currently writing code for the control of a fuel cell system. Now which valve air? is that hydrogen, whoops was that the methane. 800 degrees, is that Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin.

So that fuel vent? what does it do again? Sometimes I am glad I am 200 miles from the operator

as dangerous as I want it to be!
ned(chavs), knives, alcohol, drugs needles you name it and we don't have the same protection as the cops
we're tough we are!



Personally i think we're mental!

The risk assesments for the areas I have to work in mention 'Death' as a consequnce of not doing something correctly or ignoring a proceedure, so in some respects quite dangerous. Although stupidity doing what I do is whats going to kill anyone doing what I do, although there are still plenty of stupid people about

Unfortunately one of my colleagues died in a work related accident two years ago. Many of us that worked closely with him still think it could have been prevented if we weren't understaffed at times.
I won't go into detail as its horrific, and one young man will have it hanging over his head forever, although purely accidental.

It wasn't death by chocolate though.!

I was a climbing Instructor for a while and used to teach lead climbing. Being a bit of a maniac I would some times solo climb (No rope or harness) up next to my student, which got interesting if I was teaching on a multi pitch (more than one rope length) route. I was running a climbing wall at the time and climbed every day, at my best I was climbing E3 6a.

My technical data sheets for equipment are full of warnings about falling off cliffs, but as I always said, it only hurts for a minute!

I gave it all up though in 2006 and can barely climb a V-Diff while roped up these days.

I drive a desk - the wife's coffee can be hot I guess.

But when on the tools I suppose there were some dangers. Volts and pressures.

Also the consequences of getting the servicing wrong could be quite dangerous - anaesthetic machines & ventilators. "Sorry you're still awake sir but do you mind if we just cut here.?" Or, "wake up damn you!"

Dangerous for them (us) , not neccessarily you Bri

Unless an unwanted law suit or angry relatives also counts.

But I'm sure we're in safe hands
