    Well All, the job I'm working had a major fatal accident yesterday.
    A flagger got backed over by a lowboy trl.
    So please no matter how much they wanna rush you at a jobsite, please look all around, sound your horn and please make sure it is clear to move

    that's nothing. in my earlier years a worker got run over by a backing dump truck. head was crushed, and so was his hardhat...blood and guts all over the area.

    not a pretty sight for sure.

    Yup that's something, but someone getting backed over by a lowboy and killed is nothing? Makes sense.

    Instead of doing the billy big rigger routine of having a bigger better story, maybe should just think about it first and about what passingthru is trying to point out to everyone.

    If you notice the title of the thread is ''jobsite safety'',not who has seen the worst accident. Carl was trying to point out that you need to pay attention.
