My biggest mistake was while helping out just prior to an employee appreciation dinner. I learned a valuable lesson in safety, (yes, even safety guys make mistakes lol.) While reading a text from my wife, I was walking at the north east side where the sandblasters and painters house, where most of our dinners are held. I was still walking while texting her back, when I stepped in a drop-off in the pavement and stumbled a bit. Our safety team was well aware of the work needed in the north area of the NOV plant, and had reported it periodically, so I should have been more aware...My biggest mistake, could have easily been a personal injury...totally employee error. The HSE team teased it could have easily been considered a "near-hit."
