A long long time ago on an ocean far far away we were doing some maintenance work that was out of the ordinary.
First a coworker of mine hurt his foot. Nothing too serious.
Then shortly after, I hurt my arm. Nothing to9 serious.
Our boss, being the sensible kind, called a meeting and said something along the lines of "These incidents are minor, but they're on the rise, and statistically that means major incidents are on the rise too, even if we haven't had any yet."
Basically, we did a timeout to reassess what we were doing, and how, to make sure we were doing it safely. The attitude was pretty much that our boss didn't care how long things took, as long as it was done safely. Among the best bosses I've ever had.
My hand and my coworkers foot was fine after a few days.
