When Safety Counts

On my way to lunch, I came across members of the Occupational Health and Safety Committee. They were looking at the emergency shower located outside our main lab, and suggested I might pull the handle that would open the shower's valve. Just to see if it worked, you understand.

Oddly enough, I declined.

I went on to tell them about the last time the Institute had an open house. A young guy was looking around, saw the handle for the shower, and reached for it. He had just got a grip on the handle when I bellowed, "NO!"

We later agreed that the puddle on the floor was as a result of his pulling the shower's handle... just a little bit.

Later, Mushers!
