[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 75562, member: 1944"] #5 of scratch king is definetely one we overlook. I always wear steel toe, but my buddies make fun of me for it. But I was delivering a door for a safe, (didnt know what it was at the time) and it slid through the bottom, and I would have had badly damaged if not amputated toes, had I not had the protection. You can get lightweight ones. My Rockies gave out the week of peak this yr,(4th season on them) and not having the time to go get a new pair, I tried to slide through with a pair of PAC boots, cheap ones. My feet still hurt, especially the ball of my right foot. We all hate to spend the money, but your feet gotta feel good, and you have to take care of them. And all the other tips are great. Work as quickly as you safely can, and when there are impedements to your day, there just are...dont take chances. The numbers do not show what we do, if you make it through every day without an injury or accident, and customers are served to the best of our ability, and you did the best you could, you did a good job, period. #6 about the dogs is the one I most carefully observe.
