That's a good read. My first real job out of high school was in a stile and rail door manufacturing plant on the tideflats in Tacoma, WA. WW2 vintage machinery. Everybody was missing a fingertip or 2. So many injuries, so little safety equipment. Air was full of dust as fine as flour. Nobody wore eye protection, hearing protection or masks. Started at $2.75 /hour. Learned a lot about life, lucky enough to go to college later.

Yes, a look back at the days of Real Men. How far we have come and how far we still have to go. Workplaces are safer today. They have to be. If they aren’t one good accident and the company is owned by a lawyer and out of business.
