Show Notes
Jim Thompson discusses the importance of comprehensive housekeeping practices, specifically focusing on overlooked hazards found at higher elevations. The author expresses
strong disapproval of the practice of abandoning old industrial equipment and
structures in place, arguing that while it might initially save money, it
creates ongoing safety risks and potential future costs. The piece emphasizes
that deteriorating structures pose continuous threats and uses the example of a
collapsed overpass in Atlanta to illustrate the dangerous consequences of
neglected spaces, even those not considered obsolete. Ultimately, the text
advocates for thorough removal of disused items to prevent accidents and ensure
safety.
