There are three separate parts to this post, but lots of good stuff to think about.

Andrew Brassard and the Brothers in Milton, Ontario got a hold of metal from an old playground that was being torn down.  The scenario was a car into a playground with people under the car.  They wanted to get a new recruit some time on all the different tools for metal cutting.  Brass said they pulled almost every metal cutting tool off the rig.

This is a great example of a pretty simple training to set up that creates energy for the job and motivation to do more.
