Default Be safe out there!

We had an incident at my work last week that left a few people really hurt! Just wanted to say be safe.
Take your time and don't cut corners, stop for a second and see what's going on around you. We get in routines and just loose track of what's going on until it crashes around you.

So last Wednesday was a normal day just walking to get some hydraulic hoses in the next building over. I walk out the door and see our whole paint shop up in smoke. One of the paint booths exploded and a huge fireball went rolling through the building blowing garage doors off both ends. They still haven't released what caused the blast. Could have been a number of things. Trucks we build run on compressed natural gas, our heaters are natural gas, or even the paint being sprayed.

The miraculous thing is that 35 people that would have been in that building were offsite in different location for an annual safety seminar. The people injured were burned really bad and will have a long road to recovery.

I just don't want to see anyone else hurt!!

Prayers sent. Explosive fumes are nothing to fool around with.

Side question, what do you guys do? I see 3 concrete trucks in the yard.

I work for mcnealus it's a segment of Oshkosh. We build concrete and refuse trucks. It's a pretty nice place to work. Definitely didn't think anything like this would happen!

I thought that was McNealus. I used to own some S series Oh My Gosh's. I just checked out the web site, I see they are into CNG power for trucks, wonder if they had a leaker? They have gotten into a lot more than just mixers from when I did business with them.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
