You might remind said client that getting out of bed is also a hazard. And double shame on you for spilling water at the water cooler. Attempted assault charges may be pending.

Use common sense.<br />"Gargoyle attack"? Use common sense.<br />"Direct asteroid impact"? Common sense... or whatever. We're probably not going to live through it, anyway.<br /><br />Write the mitigating factors down, post them on an official web page, send emails to persons with a link to the page (which the afore-mentioned persons will almost certainly ignore), and your tail is covered.<br /><br />Works like a charm.DataPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478857340951784073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-29821545090177539902013-06-11T15:01:38.389+00:002013-06-11T15:01:38.389+00:00As a quick question, do you often find yourself co...As a quick question, do you often find yourself confronted by people brandishing mangos?<br /><br />Is it always men?<br />Is it always a mango?<br /><br />Is the risk mitigation different for other fruits?<br /><br />enquiring minds need to know.<br />Maybe this video will help<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piWCBOsJr-w" rel="nofollow">click here</a>LocalFlightEasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874275201319246223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-90642821382741881452013-06-10T16:56:56.842+00:002013-06-10T16:56:56.842+00:00When I worked at LAX I had to watch a movie that t...When I worked at LAX I had to watch a movie that told me not to drive behind a 747 when it was spooling up and taking off, the hazard being my little vehicle might go flying back into the fence. Go figure. And to challenge anyone who tried to double in when your card was swiped into a secure area. As I watched the LAPD do that exact thing I wondered who the rules were written for?amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-34347578792762072402013-06-10T14:09:00.932+00:002013-06-10T14:09:00.932+00:00It's a shame too, because it makes the hazard ...It's a shame too, because it makes the hazard mitigation planning for the more dangerous hazards that much harder to do. By the time you get to them, you're rolling your eyes and trying not to fill the page with snark. <br /><br />I've seen it many times.

I hope if we humans ever have control on things like weather, that we'd at least know how to safely operate a pencil.<br /><br />Tell them, you need to give paid and fully catered 5 hours of ground instruction to all adult employees on how not to stab oneself with a pencil!Ramielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404302961307982594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-4103281089098727772013-06-10T02:02:08.040+00:002013-06-10T02:02:08.040+00:00A fun post, thank you.

Who the heck wants to deal with a crew member who has functioned through the fligh't, only to collapse, unconconsious on th e apron when leaving the aircraft. Oh yes. I've seen it happen. Drink you water, boys and girls because it will keep you alive. A few women will object, I know. Crap! Methods and equipment necessary for you to unload some water ARE available, work just fine and Ms. Atx has addressed this before. While never as easy as for a male, fully functional gear is available that will allow you some discrete relief when necessary. Peeing in your flight suit may not be the best choice, but it IS better than not drinking, becoming dehydrated and, eventually unable to function. Be smart, pilots and other crew: Drink your water - or maybe - die. <br />Great post madam. Thanks. Cedarglenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468497492189762095noreply@blogger.com
