Dangerous Job?


We, quite obviously, keep first aid cabinet in the bunker, and have to do an audit of it every so often to make sure that the supplies are fully stocked and well inside their expiry dates. So, after a thorough audit on the cabinet on Friday, it turns out that we stock an Amputated Parts Module (APM, for conveniences sake). I dont know why, but this really shocked me. Ive cut my knee a couple of times on a hedge trimmer, but for some reason the whole 'it wont happen to me' thing kicks in and thought that it was a bit overkill to have the APM in first aid kit. Then it dawned on me, we use an assortment of small plant that can do more then just sever appendages, so it makes sense to have one. Chainsaws, mowers, hedge trimmers, pretty much anything with a motor attached to it, has no regards for the flesh that operates it. Hopefully the APM never gets used, but if it does, it has this handy little picture of a severed thumb on the back of it in the instructions.
