As a lifelong safety professional who has witnessed the aftermath of too many avoidable jobsite tragedies, I was one of those who initially said, "Id rather talk about prevention," when I heard ENR was doing a special report, "Minutes to Live," on accident rescues (ENR 11/22 p. 23).
Now that I have read the issue, I must commend ENRs efforts. You have done the industry a great service, even if you only persuade one owner, one construction manager, or one foreman to think more deeply about ensuring the safety of his or her work force, every day and on every job. Training and preparedness are always the best route.
