Avahra Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Here's a story for Springsteen's next ballad: A roofer in New Jersey took a dangerous dive into a vat of acid to save a coworker who had just fallen through a roof into the tank 40 feet belowRead more hereAbsolutely incredible, It's amazing what some people will still do to save the life of another. I hope they eventually identify the man and give him the recognition he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Wow, that is crazy. Sounds like an awesome coworker. I hope I work with people of similar character if the need ever arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avahra Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 I like my coworkers, but I would not jump into a vat of acid for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avahra Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Scratch that, I don't like my coworkers, I hate em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I was going to say. Judging by the hookie comment another thread it didn't sound like it. Doesn't your job require you to help to the best of your abilities though? Have to save em regardless. Unless it's a pit of acid, but I doubt you have many of those laying about your workplace.

Avahra Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 One of the big things about my job is 1) Is the scene safe? If it's not safe, I don't go in. I can't be of any help to anyone if I'm also injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Sounds like safety training 101. In all reality the guy who jumped in after the other guy is probably in trouble over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avahra Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Probably. And I'm willing to bet his work will try to pull some stunt where they don't pay for any of his care saying it was his fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised. Though a lot will depend on what caused the guy to fall. I'm sure OSHA has the, you owe us money, pen ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avahra Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 It sounds like the roof collapsed and he fell, and I'm assuming he was repairing the roof because the vat of acid caused it to need fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Pretty poor planning to have guys walking on a roof that is unstable in order to repair it. I'd say the company will end up paying out for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
