Week 8 Worplace Safety

Task #1 They're are many ways and devices that could shock and kill me at my job. I work at a studio and electrical wear can be pretty dangerous at times. I believe one of my mentors, Mark Kuhn actually got shocked a few weeks back when we tried to fix his amp. Ah yes, Mr. Froto, (that's Kuhn's cat) what a ferocious feline indeed. One day that monster tried to pounce on me from the upstairs hallway. i was downstairs and he missed and hit the couch, but just imagine this crazy cat flying through the air at you. Very scary and quit weird.

Task #2 "Working with electricity can be dangerous." I can't agree more. You can get electrocuted or shocked. I mean every time your go around it your at high ricks. "Others, such as office workers and sales people, work with electricity indirectly and may also be exposed to electrical hazards." You see even in an everyday job things can go wrong. All it takes is one cat and one wire for the whole house to burn down.

"It is a requirement of OSHA that employees be given a safe and healthy workplace that is reasonably free of occupational hazards." This is such an important aspect of it all. no one can or should feel comfortable unless their are safety rules and first aid kits. Ex specially at my job, a chicken joint. hot grease everywhere and tons of gas hooked up to those fryers. Anyone could lose their life any day their at Cains and that's why it so important.

Task #3 Well we have had blast so far. Recording music, learning how to make he music, and learning all the electrical stuff that goes with it. I could pretty much engineer a whole album if I wanted to. Not only have i learned so much but really became better friends with all my friends I should say. I work with my mentor and two other friends on our music.

I am really excited to get out of school and turn 18 this summer. I get to get my car which means I can be at the studio any time I want. So, that is a really big thing I am looking forward to. But to be totally honest I have had a blast at my service learning sight, and if they didn't let me choose, I would most likely be dreading it right now. Thank you classic city, thank you.

Mr. Froto is probably not a danger at many jobs, but everyone is unique! I don't think that a cat could burn down a building, but you never know. I am glad that you are gaining skills and enjoying your working environment at the studio.

Quite a few small errors that you would have caught if you edited it before publishing. AS is you earned 16/20 for tasks 1 & 2 and 9/10 for task 3.
