Don’t defeat your own slip-resistant shoes
Take a simple but vital lesson from a story that I just read. I’ll accept it as true because the writer says he saw photographs related to it.
A police officer is chasing an armed robber. The thief pitches his gun. The cop’s shoestring comes loose. He trips on it, hits his head and is knocked out. The criminal circles back, takes the officer’s gun and kills him.
It’s a tragic tale with a common-sense reminder for workers: No shoes, slip-resistant or not, protect against falls if a shoelace is flapping loose. Knot them good.
