Not only in craft villages but also in construction sites, factories..., everywhere we need awareness of labor protection to protect our lives.
In the spring, Mr. Thinh's carpentry workshop is busier because of many orders. Early in the morning, he took the opportunity to go down to the workshop to check the progress. Among the newly recruited carpenters, he appreciated Tuan because although he was young, he was willing to learn:
- How is it? Do you find carpentry hard? - Mr. Thinh asked.
Hearing the boss's question, Tuan immediately answered:
- Every job has its own difficulties, sir!
While answering Mr. Thinh, Tuan took off his gloves and goggles and put them aside to continue working. Surprised by Tuan's actions, Mr. Thinh asked:
- Why did you take off all your labor protection?
- I feel cumbersome, slow and stuffy when wearing it, Tuan said.
Listening to the young worker's explanation, Mr. Thinh smiled and said:
- When I first started my career, I thought the same thing. Turn off the machine and I'll show you something.
As he spoke, Mr. Thinh showed Tuan his hands, missing two fingers.
Tuan startled and said:
- Oh, why are you missing two fingers?
Mr. Thinh said in a serious voice:
- Because back then I found gloves and helmets very stuffy like you do now. I also stopped using them and you see the result.
- No wonder I see no one here ever gives up.
At this time, Mr. Hung, the administrative manager, walked in, carrying a lot of safety helmets. Seeing the boss and Tuan talking, he approached and asked:
- What were you two talking about that you turned off the phone?
- It's about safety at work, Mr. Thinh said.
- Did Mr. Tuan take off his gloves, glasses and helmet again? I reminded you. Yesterday, in the workshop in the next village, a young worker who had just started working didn't wear glasses, so he got wood chips in his eyes and had to go to the hospital...
- That's why we have to remind each other. Not only in craft villages but also in construction sites and factories... Safety helmets and gloves are small but they protect your life. This is the company's rule, if you repeat the offense, your salary will be deducted, Mr. Thinh said.
Listening to Mr. Hung's story and Mr. Thinh's reminder, Tuan realized his mistake and said:
- Yes sir! From now on, I will wear full protective gear when working!
