so far i've heard its fascinating to watch the video... but then the hazards are cited one after another... shows how ridiculous the world is becoming- all this safety and political correctness is killing society, making people lazy and stupid.... i'm 32, and its sad to see the generation older than me, mine, and all the younger ones- wanting to be coddled with safety equipment, and God forbid something goes wrong, who do we sue? who may be insulted if the caution stickers dont show both genders and every color of skin depicted for the hazard at hand....
like the woman who sued for getting burned with coffee? really? after she burned herself, someone should have walked over and slung another fresh cup in her face for being an idiot....
i have a feeling- out of all those safety hazards, fewer people were hurt than now with all the safety BS and crying employees do/have these days- back then, if you worked with machines, you knew if you mess up, its going to hurt, people stayed alert and focused.... now its, oh wow, safety glasses, ear plugs, gloves...i dont have to worry!
7 out of 10 people i encounter on a daily basis need a good slap at the least.... the crap and twisted ideology these days is scary.... i hear senior citizens talking about google... and kids these days cant read the hands of an analog clock or know what a card catalog is....
work ethic is a thing of the past.... society has their hand out waiting for their share by doing nothing.... and this is forwardlook related because in the days of the fwdlk era, people didnt cry when they crushed their hand at work, got sick leave and sued.... they went home bandaged it- felt stupid and never made that error again!

There were some truly hazardous, even dangerous, construction operations back in the 30's. At about 2:30, there are men who have large machinery close in in them from both sides---one bad mis-step, and 'you' were history! At about 6:30, men are seen stepping up onto narrow moving tracks, to attend to the front sheetmetal. One bad slip, or when a bumper bracket would catch your pants, causing you to fall or get caught under the car, and you are in a World of Hurting. The construction noise must have been deafening.
