Off to the burns unit.


Recommended Posts

As some of my friends on face book may have seen I had a little accident at work the other day when I had an argument with some hot fat and got 2nd degree burns on my wrist. I'm off to the burns unit shortly and just wondered who else had had injuries at work?

A quick pic for those who hadn't seem it.

ouch that looks nasty dude :( hope your ok

as for injuries at work I've had a few. Used to work in a haulage warehouse. Had a lorry driver who thought he was Ken block took a corner too fast one day in a 40 footer and tipped the load. was 22 pallets of single boxed packets of soap there was thousands of them to re pallet and re stack on the lorry. got about 11 pallets in and the pallet next to me decided to tip and threw me off the side. Its a good 8foot drop which doesnt sound too bad but when you dont land on your feet onto concrete it hurts pretty bad

thats not the worst one though. About 3 years ago at my current place of work a piece of machinery kicking out 200 psi of air pressure decided to let go and shot a piece of galvanised steel weighing about 5kg out at me. hit me at well over 100mph and shot me accross the room, piereced my skin it was a mess. Hit me so hard in the hip i couldnt walk for 6 weeks took me 3 months to recover and still scarred now.

Let us know how it goes at the hospital dude?

Oooooooooch! that looks bad rob! Burns are the worst

When i worked in the kitchen at weatherspoons i was getting a bag of gravy out the microwave (everything is microwaved there even the sausages!) and it burst over my hand, it was so sticky and hot i thought it was ok at first but after running it under the cold tap for awhile and it not getting better i realised i'd taken the skin of most my thumb and back of my hand painful! Ended up in A&E dressed in gel weave stuff for about two weeks
