Safety bear fell off the two post hoist this week. So I casually rode the two post hoist half way up to return safety bear and ensure he was still functioning properly.
Safety bear existed in this shop before me and I really enjoy the novel idea of having a stuffed bear watching over the students to be a constant reminder of safe work habits and imminent danger while working on cars.
It has been said that if safety bear is not properly seated on the top of the hoist the balance of the shop is thrown off and an accident is likely to happen if safety bear is not returned to his rightful home promptly.
I love the small quirks that shops can have. It is evidence of strong shop culture and safety minded work.
