Workshop and work Safety:
As you carry out each step of your repair work, the safety of your work habits is
paramount, yes, very important. You are constantly surrounded by danger in your
job, and yet you must rise above it, complete the job well and survive another day.
Building safer work habits ensures your safety and the safety of those other team
players or work mates around you. You don't get injured from their negligence, nor
do they get injured from your negligence, that's one good teamwork rule.
Apart from your watching out for your own safety, in team work, you also watch out
for your co worker's safety and they in turn also watch out for yours. This also
helps in team co ordination.
If , for example, you're grinding, making sure the sparks and metal from your
grinder are not flying into any one else's proximity and work space/ area. Or straight
onto a vehicle or windscreen, because they can fuse and stick onto glass, thus
ruining it.
If you are doing a particular job by yourself, then your safety is your responsibility.
You must know the capabilities and limitations of every piece of equipment and tools
that you use. There should be no guess work on your part at all, but be sure of
what you are doing.
If you are changing a clutch pack for a ten ton dump truck by yourself; after you
have gotten the tray up, make sure you have enough wooden planks to brace up
and hold up the tray, or stop it with enough gap for survival, for when and if it comes
down when the tray's hydraulic cylinder fails. I've never heard of a doctor who can
save you when you've been flattened like a pancake. The same thing should be done
with any vehicle been held up by any jack and you're working underneath it. Always
have enough braces for the wheels to stop the vehicle from moving while you're
working on it.
Use your senses well, the nose can smell any weak concentration of any flammable,
such as petrol, before it gets concentrated enough to ignition point with air, so you
must also act quickly. Be very thorough, and logical in your thinking and focus as
well, think always.
Always recheck your work.What's the point of doing a job fast and then end up
having to re do it all over again.
Mental learning and skill are ongoing processes that build up your confidence and
avoids you creating costly and dangerous mistakes; embrace and nurture them.
When you have them in abundance, you will naturally increase you speed of work.

Yep, if you were there,, post me a response.
There was an incident with an Aveling Barford Roller on the steep going back to Falevao when the operator lost his brakes. He was supposed to ditch the roller to stop it as soon as possible, a safety measure.This operator, being a distant relative of Michael Schumacher, decided to ride it down the mountain. His crew working down the road, hurriedly threw palm trunks across the road to try and slow down and stop this runaway roller. The roller's weight and increasing speed (mass X speed = momentum whereas mass X acceleration= force) just flattened these palm trunks like pancakes, but eventually at the flat down at Falevao, the operator having enjoyed the ride and very calm, got out with a big grin. I was sent down to retrieve the roller for a safety check and repairs, and overheard the crew getting a thorough safety and ditching lecture from their boss, for the umpteenth time.
I got to admire the technology used in these rollers considering their dates of manufacture, longetivity of service, and the hectic paces they are put through. They are still running around today, and a few with latter modifications like hydraulic power steering.
Aveling Barford Rollers have been if not still are manufactured in Great Britain by the:

hopefully the English.

My very first job was sorting out and repairing the power steering, on one of these Aveling Barford Rollers, which was mechanical and chain driven off the engine.
To drive straight, your steering hand had to constantly twitch right and left.
I also became a master at preloading the rear wheel bearings, with different shim plates and thicknesses before mounting the wheels on.
Brake system are by Girling, same as the Land Rover Cars.

Singhy(one of Ted's crew), operated a grader like this one, which I serviced a few times.

Singhy was an Indian gentleman on contract from Fiji.
This piece of machinery was very reliable and can do the same speeds forward as in reverse. Singhy used to be pulled out of the ditch more than a few times because he always would not pass up an opportunity to do 90 mph in reverse.

Fletcher Bluebird Joint Venture was a road construction process involving two companies, Fletcher Construction of New Zealand and Bluebird Construction of Western Samoa. Le Mafa pass is a very scenic and beautiful place and I was very fortunate to have worked in such surroundings. There were various rivers where I jumped in to cool off and cool refreshing natural springs where I often drank from.
