One of my friends who had a close call with a ladle car of molten iron some weeks ago called me this morning. He's hoping that he will be able to get back to work in a few weeks. So Workers Memorial Day is also a good time to remember some of those close calls that we all have had. Sometimes its just a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time when something breaks. Other times there are environmental factors or human factors like stress and fatigue that contribute to accidents in the lean, mean and downsized steel industry.
