Thanks for making the video Eric, it was great that you caught that lung situation before it got worse…
Not to make light of danger in the trades but here are some classic scary old Ontario pubic safety vids..I know of a electrician who died a few years ago who forgot to turn of the power before servicing something…
Hey guys, I was just wondering on your opinion on how much “toll on the body” a career in auto mechanics can take on a person? With all accidents that can potentially happen,the constant grind on the body, exposure to chemicals , the stress of having to get the job done on time or else-
It would suck having this as a career and when you retire; and then you cannot enjoy your “golden years” (due to bad health caused by your occupation). As well, hopefully you have been able to save for retirement or maybe some sort of pension plan?
I also see some guys” bridging” into over areas like dealer management etc which might not be as hard on the body..I guess you could say Eric did this? I would just hate to see someone work hard for 35 years, retire, and then find out they have some sort of cancer due to exposure to chemicals…(although I have seen people clean their hands with brake cleaner!)I am only a DYI, but sometimes I wonder if I am not careful enough as well..
opps, I saw someone else posted this awhile back…
