About 30 minutes, I was cutting some wood when my hair got sucked into the saw’s motor, pulling my face into the piece and giving me a bloody nose. I couldn’t pull the saw out like then, so I carried the entire piece to my tool rack to cut the hair off with scissors.

Tie your hair up people.

    While working at a machine shop we had a lady who came to work just like every other day. Didn’t put her hair up just like every other day. Worked on a usual customer’s job at the drill press just like any other day. But that one time is all it took for her to be literally scalped when her hair was caught on the drill press. The employer had new safety requirements for those with long hair after that day. Tie your hair up people, all it takes is that one time to happen…

      We had some poor lady get scalped by a conveyor belt in my Amazon warehouse several years ago. It’s craaaazy shit. I could never set foot in an environment with a hazard like this without putting my hair up. I’d be terrified the entire time.
