That's a great article. She really stepped up and took responsibility. After her accident, I can't tell you how many folks I had telling me they were going to get an Air Shield. I had to remind them that Air Shield is a respirator and face shield, not a helmet. It will provide some help, but not nearly enough to survive an accident like this one. Probably the smartest thing she did was put the guard back on her lathe. I did that with mine after her accident, too. Unfortunately, I saw some articles in the AAW Journal, from some high ranking people in the organization, saying that was silly and she just needed to stand out of the line of fire. I thought that was inappropriate. I spent a lot of time in the safety business and always hated it when leadership undermined safety by saying "that's not the way we do it here."
Props to her for writing this and to Mohammad for sharing it.
