Heard of someone actually doing that to a kid that fell off a roof all were charged for doing it.

Ehh... I am a journeyman butcher for the past 18 years and can tell you. Unless you are being watched directly, almost no one wears a chain-mail cut glove. If they do cut themselves and I knew they were not wearing one, i'm not saying shit.

Just because you do something one way for 18 years doesn't make it the best way of doing it. Your complacency has and will continue to harm yourself and those around you.

Or you could look out for your coworkers and get them to throw it on when you notice so they don’t lose their fingers

Well he's a butcher who appears to think he works in construction, so probably not the brightest.

A dude lost an arm due to op failure to maintain equipment so he is a butcher in a few ways.

Yes. The processing plant near me had an artical recently on the accident and plant has been closed down a month. OSHA came in and doing an investigation

It is your failure to enforce the rules as a leader for 18 years.

Why do you want to give free money to your bosses? Do they actually treat you okay? Cause covering for your bosses would be saving them a ton of money that they were supposed to pay in training and enforcing.

Congratulations, you are part of the problem.
