In all seriousness, I worry all day. My guys are great but I want them to be safe. If you had to make (X )amout of $ a day, this is an important topic.

The answer is-
There is no such thing as an accident.
If you realize this, then there are no excuses.
Each one of the senarios should of been a safety meeting with a sign in sheet. No-one should work alone, and accidents are a failure to applying safe work practices.
Sorry I got serious, Guys.

Well heres the truth each scenario no matter how careless the employee was is still either a valid comp case or a accidental death case and the company cannot fight and win any of them even the pine cone ....So the insurance companies gladly take your money knowing that there ALWAYS comes a day when there paying it out ..

So the moral of the story is what? Make sure the dumbass help doesn't get hurt, cuz you screwed one way or another.

I'll have to try that sometime.. lol.

Well thats where we differ I don't worry about someone breaking an ankle on a pine cone or nest of bees , thats what I call hard lesson and if it goes that far than I have insurance for that , as for the man falling into the Burrito maker that would be messy and in this heat stinky real fast .....

Depends on your insurance. You could be paying for a long time through increased premiums.
