Things that may interest only us.

We work on-site at a large-scale industrial manufacturing facility down on the waterfront in San Diego. As such, workplace safety is taken very seriously and is given top priority by management (...and the occaisional 10 o $20,000 dollar fine by OSHA doesn't hurt in establishing a culture of Safety). The Safety Department compiled statistics for the graph below and broke down workplace injuries by days of the week. Before scrolling down, take a guess as to which day generates the most injuries. Our inclination was to go with Friday as we thought that perhaps peoples’ minds might be on weekend plans or rushing to get a job completed before taking off on Friday afternoon.


















Monday, Monday….. and its not even close. And we were completely wrong about Friday, as well. The Safetygram to which this graph was attached suggested possible reasons as being people bringing in their personal problems developed over the weekend into work or possibly not being quite as “alert” or “focused”…… hmmmm….. whatever could they mean by that?
