An Old Foundryman to the Core
To attempt to merely tell someone about tapping and electric arc furnace simply cannot adequately describe the experience. To be present in the experience overwhelms all your senses. You feel the immense magnetism in the air as every hair on your body tingles. The heat radiates in all directions from the 3500-degree iron. The immense amount of electricity consumed creates a deafening hum, that thankfully your hearing protection dampens. All your senses tell you this situation is very dangerous and part of you wants to run away. At the same time, it is has such a mesmerizing beauty to it that you find yourself fixed in place.
The foundry is a very dangerous, mysterious, dirty, hot, exciting, and a great place to learn how to lead others. I was a new foundry supervisor fresh out of college the first time I saw it. I very quickly learned to always be aware of my surroundings and vigilant of my safety as well as all my employees. A serious accident could and did happen all too often, and most times faster than the blink of an eye. My supervisors taught me there is a lesson in every employee injury. A good supervisor must find the correct lessons and learns from them. Of course, the worst sin is a relearned lesson.
The Melt Department produced over 2000 tons of molten iron every day! However it always had the lowest injury rates as a department. This was a paradox as how could that be? The Melt Department had danger literally everywhere one looked! Molten iron vaporizes everything it touches, except sand and very specialized materials. Simply put, you did not last long in Melt by being careless! If you were injured there, it is always bad! The employees knew this as they saw it. They knew there safety absolutely depended on their vigilance.
The Lesson Learned
The lesson I learned from this was that the more employees have safety on their minds the safer they will be on the job. The more things we can do to have employees be vigilant on their safety the better off we will be. This concept may come in many different methods including employee empowerment, training, teambuilding, awareness programs, and yes even contests and games. I am constantly reminded of this lesson all those years ago!
This is the key to remember in the creation of a World Class Safety Cultures. These cultures may achieve the concept of Zero-Injuries. We know they work as we have created them. It is logical that the more employees stay mindful of Safety the safer they are, simple as that.

Hi,
Is there any way that you can provide an audio version of your blog?
I recently started commuting with my new job for few hours in the day driving and I would still like to read your new blogs.
I’ve a friend who told me that he added a button on his website that transforms the text into human like audio.
You can see the audio button on his website, like in this blog.
https://humanevents.com/2019/05/30/how-china-ate-our-lunch/
He is using a service called websitevoice https://websitevoice.com/ and he says its free and easy to install.
The audio sounds great to me and I would appreciate if you can do the same, a male voice would be great in my opinion 🙂
Thanks
Julia Fredenbug
Dear Julia:
Thank you for your suggestion. I will try to give it a try! I like a sexy female voice myself, but I am just an old boomer! I will give it a try soon! I am not able to do the premium for $29 a month yet, but maybe someday! Thanks again! Give me a few days to set it up! Just wrote a new article. Please let me know if it works!
Best Regards,

Hi, Eric here with a quick thought about your website safetyfitz.com…
I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.
Like yours, many of them have great content.
But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.
I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.
Here’s a solution for you…
Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. You’ll know immediately they’re interested and you can call them directly to talk with them literally while they’re still on the web looking at your site.
CLICK HERE http://www.talkwithcustomer.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.
It could be huge for your business – and because you’ve got that phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately… and contacting someone in that 5 minute window is 100 times more powerful than reaching out 30 minutes or more later.
Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to keep the conversation going.
Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.
CLICK HERE http://www.talkwithcustomer.com to discover what Talk With Web Visitor can do for your business.
You could be converting up to 100X more eyeballs into leads today!

I am sorry I do not now what your post says! Tom
Hi,
This is Melina and I am a licensed photographer and illustrator.
I was surprised, to put it nicely, when I saw my images at your web-site. If you use a copyrighted image without an owner’s consent, you should be aware that you could be sued by the creator.
It’s illegitimate to use stolen images and it’s so wicked!
Here is this document with the links to my images you used at safetyfitz.com and my earlier publications to get the evidence of my ownership.
Download it now and check this out for yourself:
https://sites.google.com/view/8479200943828789937/file/drive/storage/share/download?fileID=884172203956617665
If you don’t remove the images mentioned in the document above within the next couple of days, I’ll file a to your hosting provider informing them that my copyrights have been severely infringed and I am trying to protect my intellectual property.
And if it is not enough, for damn sure I am going to report and sue you! And I will not bother myself to let you know of it in advance.
#1 Your link does not work so I have no idea what images to which you refer. #2 I have tried to be very carful on any photos I use. To my knowledge every photo I have used on my website I have purchased the rights from “Shutterstock” or “Deposit Photo”! There is one photo that keep appearing that I bought with the Template for the Website design, and I am trying to get rid of that one. If you tell me exactly which images you refer, if somehow one slipped on I do not own I would be glad to take it off! If it do get on it was not my intent, I try to be very carful about that! Tom
I am still waiting to address your concern. As I said I have purchased all the rights to the photos on my site and your link does not work, so I do not know what you are talking about! I re-confirmed that twice. If you will describe exactly what image you refer to I will investigate it immediately.
Unlike mit prescription drugs that are routinely used in the
united states, the homeopathic remedies don’t have any dangerous side effects.
The technique of spinal degeneration might not be an unavoidable a part of aging.
However, if you utilize tall clients or clients of varying
height and size, you could appreciate a massage table that is certainly longer than the industry standard.
Thank you for your reply, but I have no idea what you are talking about! I have nothing on my site about drugs. Tom
Hello there!
This is Melika and I am a certified photographer and illustrator.
I was discouraged, frankly speaking, when I recognised my images at your website. If you use a copyrighted image without an owner’s license, you need to be aware that you could be sued by the copyright owner.
It’s unlawful to use stolen images and it’s so сheap!
See this document with the links to my images you used at safetyfitz.com and my earlier publications to get the evidence of my legal copyrights.

If you don’t get rid of the images mentioned in the document above within the next several days, I’ll file a complaint against you to your hosting provider stating that my copyrights have been severely infringed and I am trying to protect my intellectual property.
And if it is not enough, you may be pretty damn sure I am going to report and sue you! And I will not bother myself to let you know of it in advance.
I believe I have purchased every photo on my site through a couple different sources. When I got your first message I double checked my site and verified I purchased every picture that I saw! I even checked to ensure I had receipts of my purchases. Your links does not work on my system so I do not know which photo you are talking about. I answered your previous email with the same response! So for the second time, if you would send me a precise description of the photo that you think is yours I will give it my prompt attention! I am not a pro-web-designer and if somehow I missed one I will pull it immediately and apologize. I do not steal material! Tom Fitzgerald
I am still waiting for your response! Which picture are you talking about! Tom
Also I have tried both your emails and those come back to me! I want to know what the heck you are talking about! Is this a scam? Tom
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your
intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to
read?
Thank you for your comments. I am a bit confused as I do not think I have any video on my blog. I am semi-retired and promised my family that I was done with >60 hour work weeks when I retired from my corporation. I love to write but I also have a business to run as well. I have 4 major companies I work with and that takes a good share of my budgeted work time. I also have tried to have me “fun” time. Simply, I busted my butt working for 41 years and decided a three years ago to do things for my wife, kids, grandkids, my dog, and me first. Most importantly I also gave up “working!”. I do stuff now that I love to do and enjoy. If it does not have those key components I do not do them! If people want to pay me for things I love to do, why not? Don’t tell them I would do most for free! I will do my best to find more time to write! Thanks again! Keep’em Safe! Fitz
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you
ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems?
A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?
Well thank you! I have not been told of any browser problems. I used a template for a theme which may help. I have noticed generally that if I want to watch video or download large files Chrome works much much better! I like the functionality in Explorer and use the Microsoft 360 Office Package quite a bit and they seem to marry better. I also have learned through the years that if something does not work in Explorer to try Chrome. Once in a great while I will try Foxfire too. I am sorry I am know IT person so I cannot help much with your question. I was shocked that I was able to even build and post my own blog! At 67 made me feel like I am still on the ball some! 🙂 Again Thank You! Fitz
I have read several good stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting.
I surprise how a lot effort you set to create one of these great informative web site.
Thank You!
Hey there are using WordPress for your site platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my
own. Do you need any coding expertise to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am not a IT guy. Can barely use Microsoft Office. My first site was professionally done, but I was not happy with it. I did this one all by myself. I did use Word Press and used a Template Theme for $99. It is far from perfect but is all mine. I am 67 years old. If I used any coding I did not know it! I watched a few tutorials on WP and LinkedIn and I was off. If I can be of further service let me know! Good luck! All the best! Fitz
I’ve been exploring for a little for any high quality articles or blog posts
in this sort of space . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled
upon this web site. Reading this info So i’m glad to exhibit that I’ve a very good uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed.
I such a lot definitely will make sure to don?t
disregard this site and give it a look regularly.
Thank you for your kind words! I should take more time to write but my business is hogging most of my time! I will try to get going! Thanks again! Fitz
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
Thank you! I wish I had more time to write for it. I will do my best! Thanks Again! Fitz

Hi there!
My name is Terrence.
Your website or a website that your organization hosts is violating the copyright protected images owned by myself.
Take a look at this official document with the URLs to my images you used at safetyfitz.com and my previous publication to obtain the proof of my copyrights.

I think you’ve intentionally infringed my rights under 17 USC Section 101 et seq. and can be liable for statutory damages as high as $140,000 as set-forth in Section 504(c)(2) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”) therein.
This message is official notification. I demand the removal of the infringing materials mentioned above. Take note as a service provider, the Dmca demands you, to remove or disable access to the infringing content upon receipt of this notice. In case you do not stop the use of the aforementioned copyrighted materials a court action can be started against you.
I do have a strong self-belief that use of the copyrighted materials mentioned above as presumably violating is not authorized by the copyright owner, its legal agent, as well as laws.
I swear, under consequence of perjury, that the information in this notification is correct and that I am the legal copyright proprietor or am certified to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

I do not want any files to download!!!!! I cannot get them past my firewalls and virus protection anyways. This makes me suspicious this is a scam. I also need your email address to contact you directly. All my images have been purchased via Shutterstock and Deposit Photo. Please be explicit to the content you refer to and I will contact Shutterstock and Deposit Photo on how they got the images. I will also immediately remove the subject files. Again, if you do not forward this information I will consider it a scam and delete your post and contact whomever about a scam. Tom Fitzgerald

Thank you for the kind words. I am not “famous” by any stretch of the imagination. I do not spend anytime at it. At heart just an old foundryman who has seen to many of my people get hurt for dumb things!

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

Thank you but which posting do you refer?
Excellent beat ! I wish to apprentice while you amend your site, how can i subscribe for a weblog site?
Say what?
Thank you so much for the great article, it was fluent and to the point. Cheers.
Which article do you refer? Thanks Tom Fitzgerald
This is getting tiresome! #1 This is about the 20th similar email I have gotten like you post! I cannot download these files! The links do not work. Be specific as to what you are talking about and send me the images! I have no idea of what content you refer! This makes me suspicious this is a scam. I also need your email address to contact you directly. #2 All my images have been purchased via Shutterstock and Deposit Photo. Again, please be explicit to the content you refer to and I will contact Shutterstock and Deposit Photo on how they got the images. I will also immediately remove the subject files if they are indeed yours. Again, if you do not forward this information, I will then consider this a scam and delete your post and contact whomever about a scam. #3 How can I get 20 people that say I have infringed copyrights when I have purchased the content. The emails all say exactly the same thing, how can that be unless this is really a scam? Tom Fitzgerald
Amazing quality contents
Thanks, to which article do you refer? Tom Fitzgerald
Cheers.
I am not sure for what but thanks!
Again, this is the 10th posting I have gotten like this! I try your links and I get error messages each time! I have bought all my images on Deposit Photo and purchased all other content or it belongs to me! Please be specific and tell me what you think is yours. Do not send me a bogus link! I will check it out. If I have somehow made a mistake I will remove it immediately!!!! To my knowledge everything on my website has been purchased! I swear this to under the “penalty of perjury” just like you! All your emails are bogus to which makes me think this is a scam! Awaiting your reply! Tom Fitzgerald
Excellent beat ! I wish to apprentice while you amend your site, how can i subscribe for a weblog site?
