NEWPORT NEWS -- Newport News police say a


construction worker was fatally injured after he was run
over by piece of heavy equipment.

The victim was identified by police as 34-year-old Kirk Patrick Giezey of Hampton. They
said he was riding on the scoop portion of a front-end loader before he was found dead
today.

The accident occurred at a home construction site. The state police and officials from the
Virginia Department of Labor and Industry were at the scene.

When you read stories like this in the newspaper, you just have to scratch your head and
wonder . . . "what was he thinking?" However, there are probably some habits each of us
has that are not that dissimilar in terms of safety. How about you? What risks do you take
each and every day here at work?

Today, reflect on one of those bad habits you may have and make an effort to change
your behavior. They say that if you can focus on breaking a habit for 21 days, it will truly
be gone. Do it for you . . . do it for your loved ones.
