Our hearts go out to the family and co-workers.

Stories like this remind me of working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Which also applies to many facilities that one may work at. "Keep your head on a swivel" and pay attention to your surroundings.

A sad reminder that the hazards involved in our work are not just the bad guys.

Just a reminder to add to the previous posts here,

YOU ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO DIE BY WAY OF BEING KILLED BY A VEHICLE, THEN BY ANY OTHER MEANS, and that can often include at your work site.

Please be careful out there.
