Oxnard, California, workplace safety

Stump grinders, especially ones this large, are dangerous pieces of machinery. They should only be operated while wearing safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, and steel tip shoes. It is also important that they not be operated on non-level ground. The purpose of this picture is to show you how not to operate a stump grinder.
If your employer demands that you work without adequate safety equipment you may well have cause for quitting and suing if the employer is given an opportunity to correct the situation but refuses. Job terminations due to complaints about employee safety are wrongful termination in California.
Take your job seriously, act like a professional; use safety equipment and operate machinery in the manner it is made to be operated in opposed to what is quickest and most convenient.

Jobsite safety is very important. For instance if you are going to ride your bicycle through a construction site it is important to wear a helmet.

These temporary agency employees were equipped with proper safety equipment including gloves and steal tipped shoes. They were also supplied the statutorily required water by the Employment Lawyers Group. Construction work is hard work and presents grave physical demands.
It is important safety be exercised on all jobsites. California law requires shade, water, and adequate adherence to employee health and safety. When these items are not supplied it is a Labor Code violation. If employees complain of the need of these things and are fired they are whistleblowers who can make wrongful termination cases.

Personally, I think there is just too much going on at this job site. Half formed temporary rebar, a ladder in the middle of the formation, wood on top of rebar, boundary and level marking forms, piles of dirt, and the list goes on. Luckily this little movie prop over at our Oxnard office will undergo yet more changes tomorrow.

The construction of the Oxnard Office has become so desperate we have resorted to child labor without normal safety equipment such as gloves or a hard hat.
But then again if your kid picks up a hammer and crow bar and wants to smash a useless piece of non-structural framing do you really have to pay him?

Workplace safety is very important. On these days I spend with the Oxnard office remodeling crew I am reminded of the need for safety equipment. We have hard hats, gloves, masks, and try to clean up dangers immediately.
With this said I moved 11,000 pounds of rock today only to realize there is a growing pile of roofing tile to dispose of.

Asbestos remediators like to plastic and seal everything; even if it isn't an asbestos containing item.
Well, this is the existing porch of the Oxnard office which will be demolished as soon as the asbestos remediators have removed all of the drywall from the Oxnard office.
