[QUOTE=bnhpr;34733]I’m putting my coveralls on, heading to the rig floor right after I type this, how bout yourself?[/QUOTE]
Sometimes I’m on the floor, sometimes I’m on the brake handle, sometimes I’m in the derrick, sometimes I’m in the library, sometimes I’m in the office, sometimes I’m in the welding shop, sometimes in the mechanic shop, sometimes I operate the winch, sometimes I’m on the design table, sometimes I need to be in more than one of those places at the same time, but I broke in on a standard triple on the floor at $5.40 an hour when they were already at 18,000’ drilling to 24,000’, and my point to you was, if a man is too distracted to do his job safely, shouldn’t we stop, look, and listen like we learned in 1st grade. Ain’t it 'bout time we got back to the basics…
