Gloves will not keep the ring from getting smashed onto your finger...... I myself have gotten out of the habit of wearing my wedding band to the extent of trying to put it on reciently, found that it shrunk.... :-) The idea of putting it on a chain around your neck sounds like a great idea...

While no longer work at the mill I still care for all of the people whom I spent so many good years with. I try to keep up with policy changes and mill attitudes. My belief is that psychological and physical aspects, both togather, make up the main focus in everyone's safety. I am very concerned for all of you that are in the mill at this point that there has been a severe break down between management and production when it comes to safety. I have worked in other mills where it was warranted to remove rings for certain jobs. I ask this, in fairness to all. When was the last "near miss" or first aid case in the different jobs at the mills related to a mill wide policy of removal of wedding rings ...and has there been a job by job hazard analysis study done on this policy to make it mill wide? Will the people in the offices still be able to wear theirs? What about the foremen?
