Work Clothing

Well drilling contractors are seeing more information from OSHA clarifying  the rules for their drillers and servicing contractors.

In a nutshell, when the active hydrocarbon zones are reached, flame-resistant clothing must be worn until the final casing is cemented and the well is effectively closed. Also FRC’s should be worn when there is a history of fluid or gas kicks from underground producing zones. This last sentence from the memo concerns me. For there to be “A history” a first incident must happen… the first could be fatal. Oh…but who am I … it’s easy to pick.

If you have a job that requires FRC’s, be aware Carhartt flame-resistant clothing is some of the best on the market.

Add several big orange pumpkins, a farmer in denim bib overalls and some bright yellow mums, I am happy now! The picture is perfect.

Commercial farming does not have the charm pictured here. We all love this country scene and especially appreciate the antique tractor. A reminder of simpler times, just remember it does not mean easier times.

Got winter?                  

Need Carhartts!  

Hello from northern WV where it feels as though spring  will never arrive.  Here at the Carhartt shop where I sell the entire line, the men’s insulated bib overalls are the top seller. One day it is sunny and breezy and the next you have to get the snow shovel back out. One exteme then the other makes it hard for all the southern drillers to know how to dress. Soon it will be Spring for real and that day can’t come soon enough after this long winter.

You gotta make fun wherever you go. Life is too short. These silly girls are supposed to be helping their Mom put out inventory and run the sweeper… but left unsupervised or maybe I suggested the fun… hmmmm. In any case.. this is a fun time filling out these big boy size blue denim jean from Carhartt. Insulated bib overalls would make a fun picture as well.

Lighten up and enjoy your silly teenagers before they are grown.

This is very simple but many people fail to follow my advice. When you buy a new Carhartt garment write down the style and size and tuck it away. Carhartt clothing lasts a long time and most often the white tag inside will be so worn out from washing that you cannot read the style or size and wish you could when you decide it is time to purchase new.  This happens the most with Carhartt overalls probably because you buy them bigger than your jean size and bigger still to go over your other clothes it sounds like a really big number to some folks!  Easy to do and you will be glad you did.

Working outdoors in a high risk occupation requires  many things especially if your job site is constantly changing. Loading or stocking supplies and parts and checking all the tools and equipment is a start.

As far as the worker themselves, being knowledgeable and personally responsible for your employer goes without saying but many don’t see it the way I do. A worker should eat well and be rested and ready for their job. Many times the safety of another depends on your alertness. Going out on the town should be reserved for when there is time to be fully recovered. I have witnessed allot of problems for people who party between shifts, it is only a matter of time before it gets you into trouble.

So rest up, eat healthy and dress properly so you can earn an honest paycheck. Carhartt lined overalls among other items can keep you comfortable when it’s cold outside.

Not just anyone can fill the “boss’s shoes”. We all seem to find it easy to comment and criticize their decisions at times but when it comes right down to it, not many people are  cut out to be in that position. Many people only want his paycheck and not his frustrations and responsibilities.

Carhartt is best known for it’s Carhartt lined bib overalls and many know they have an entire line of clothing. This company knows allot about how to run an effective company, and for good reason, they have been in business since 1889.

But enjoyed by a woman. Sounds like an old soap commercial.

In 1889 Hamilton Carhartt started manufacturing bib overalls for railroad workers and it wasn’t until just a few years ago that a style was specifically made and labeled for a ladies figure. Now there are a number of reasons why it really doesn’t matter!!! for one, men’s denim bib overalls from Carhartt can be ordered in dozens of waist and inseam size combinations, so it would be easy for we girls to wear men’s bibs. And secondly, it is not meant to be a fashion statement. Bib overalls are almost a tool that makes a job easier! You can move easy and they are so comfortable.

So thanks Carhartt for acknowledging your female customers.

This is a simple black and white picture to look at and without much effort you can begin to hear the music and feel the energy. Square dancing used to be a common thing for country folk years ago.

Hang up your bib overalls and put on a starched shirt and clean boots and head out for some fun and socializing. Dancing and toe tapping for everyone to enjoy.

How could it be any better? This is one of the best pictures I have seen in some time. It is usually the puppy or kitten pictures that make you go awwww but this set of newborn calves are precious. This is a lucky young man who is trusted by the mama cow and can share in this moment. Animals have a keen sense of when to trust. It is an old farmer in his overalls calling his special call to his herd who knows these things the best.  The relationship is learned and earned and not taught or bought.
