Day 672: Not another RWI!

On vacation, but that doesn't mean a break for the builders ... our work is never done.

Monticello Inc's HSE record was at an all time low. Things started off poorly when Scotty-O knocked his own mother off the picnic table. This definitely needed to be classified as an "incident".

All the caring family members took time to ensure Doris was OK after her epic free fallin' incident and also attended to Scotty-O's arm which incidentally was also "injured" in the event.

Victor then came to the scene to cordon off the area and help with the incident investigation.

But unfortunately, Montecello Inc.'s untarnished RWI count was now reset back to zero ...




















And just when we thought the RWI count was going to creep back up. Carolyn sporting her "sophisticated London look" hoodie and heels went crashing through the cottage deck. Oh-no! The counter was going back down to zero.

Luckily the Monticello Inc. rapid response HSE team was there to quickly cordon off the area to prevent any further incidents.

But it was clear that this deck was now a Purple Risk that needed to be addressed immediately. After the Free Fallin' incident, site management wasn't going to let this one slide. Luckily skilled labour was in plentiful supply at the cottage,

The demo team made quick work of the old decking. To be perfectly honest it was like a North Korean luxury car - kind of functional but you know its going to fall apart on impact. And that it did .. a couple of hits of the hammer and a pry bar and most of it came out pretty easily. 

Of course that didn't stop the workers high-fiving, cheers-ing and admiring our great work.

The building site was closed off to the public to protect against any further injury.

And there you go, the remainder of the cottage deck. Hazard removed. Monticello Inc. was once again safe from workplace hazards. Phew.

Stay tuned for the epic rebuild ... and to find out if there were any further RWI's along the way.

Footnote: For those that said "North Korea doesn't make cars!", they do see link. I've personally never driven one, but I can imagine that in a fight between the rotted old patio and a DPRK car, the deck would win.
