Sometimes you have to protect people from themselves. A few months ago was working a very 'tech.' 76. One of the other many engineers was working right next to the mid door just fwd of the wing, pulling up the galley floor covering. He was standing, pulling it towards the open (and of course high) open door above the concrete pan! I couldn't beleive it, if the flooring had suddenly 'given', as they often do where water has migrated under the covering, he would have fallen backwards out of the open door to certain injury / death. I spoke to him about it, he wasn't bothered! I single handedly in Middle Eastern heat dragged a stand across the pan and positioned it by the door. He didn't even thank me, but I felt better for doing it.
