Very Bad Month

I haven't blogged in like a month, thanks to everyone who did blog, it kept me sane.  We had an incident at a job site on Oct 2.  An environmental consultant we hired came on site and collapsed after entering our containment, CPR was performed, ambulance called, rushed to hospital. Unfortunately a very nice 33 year old man died 4 days later in hospital.  Everyone on the project was traumatized including me ... we are getting trauma counseling which will help.  Of course there is an OH&S investigation that will go on for months and no quick answers as no one knows for sure what caused the collapse.  It could be 6 months to a year before the medical examiners report is completed.  Lots of questions and requests for paperwork still to come.   To say this knocked me off my game would be an understatement, as the safety coordinator I take the responsibility of making sure everyone is safe on our job sites very seriously.   So no I haven't been thinking I Ho Chuan and requirements very often in the last month.  Its kind of hard to be positive right now, but I will be blogging and working on my requirements again ... it makes me feel better.
