Gainsborough, UK – Leading risk and compliance specialists Stallard Kane have revealed shocking real-life workplace safety oversights to highlight the often-overlooked dangers in everyday work environments. From melting plastic bags on electric hobs to duct-taped hammers still in use, the company’s health and safety team has encountered firsthand how minor neglect can escalate into major incidents.

The incidents, observed during routine workplace assessments, are being shared as part of Stallard Kane’s campaign to raise awareness around the importance of maintaining safety protocols—even in seemingly low-risk environments like offices and break rooms.

Everyday Oversights, Major Risks

Among the real examples shared:

• Plastic Shopping Bags on Active Hob: An employee unknowingly activated an electric hob by placing shopping bags on the counter, narrowly avoiding a fire.
• Toaster Knife Hazard: An employee attempted to retrieve toast using a metal knife—while the appliance remained plugged in.
• Frayed Carpet Trip Risk: A loose carpet edge was left unaddressed, creating a serious trip hazard.
• Overflowing Bins in Kitchens: Poor hygiene and food waste led to risks of contamination and pest infestation.
• Improper Tool Use: A kitchen knife was used in place of a box cutter, increasing risk of personal injury.
• Makeshift Repairs: A broken hammer held together with duct tape was discovered in active use, posing danger to workers.

“These are not just one-off mistakes,” said a spokesperson at Stallard Kane. “They are signs of deeper issues—lack of awareness, poor training, and cultures that overlook ‘small’ safety risks. Our job is to help employers see how these everyday scenarios can quickly become dangerous.”

Preventable Problems, Practical Solutions

Stallard Kane advocates for proactive risk assessments, employee safety training, and clear reporting procedures to address small hazards before they cause harm.

“Most of these incidents are entirely preventable,” the Nathan Jones added. “It all comes down to embedding a strong safety culture and making practical changes—like having the right tools, maintaining clean environments, and empowering staff to speak up.”

A best-selling biography and memoir book, Broken Chains of an Inmate Firefighter, reveals how one man found redemption and purpose while battling wildfires behind bars.

Best-selling author Thomas Cronin is proud to announce the release of Broken Chains Of An Inmate Firefighter, a powerful new Biographies & Memoirs book that tells the true story of how one man found purpose, redemption and a new life through the California Inmate Firefighter Program. 

The book is now available on Amazon and is already inspiring readers from all walks of life.

In Broken Chains Of An Inmate Firefighter, Thomas Cronin shares his personal transformation from a prisoner with a troubled past to a respected CAL FIRE firefighter. Through honest storytelling and deep emotion, Cronin shines a light on the real experiences of inmate firefighters and the risks they take, the strength they show and the personal growth they find in serving others during California’s worst wildfires.

This Biographies & Memoirs work takes readers behind the fire lines and inside fire camps, showing what daily life looks like for inmate firefighters. 

It answers the hard questions: What do they go through? How do they feel when saving lives while still wearing prison-issued clothes? What does it mean to earn respect again after years of regret?

Cronin’s journey is not only about fighting fires. It’s about fighting inner battles, overcoming addiction, and holding onto faith. “I became addicted again, but this time to a job and a dream,” he writes. 

The book honors the thousands of men and women who have served in the California Inmate Firefighter Program for over seventy years, risking their lives while seeking a second chance.

Thomas Cronin currently serves as a Firefighter-1 with CAL FIRE, having completed multiple fire seasons with dedication and courage. His book started as a heartfelt letter to his mom and grew into a nearly 400,000-word hand-written manuscript. 

After years of hard work and editing, he’s proud to bring this story to readers everywhere. This is his first book and it has already gained attention for its raw honesty and powerful message.

Perfect for firefighters, CAL FIRE personnel, CDCR employees, prisoners and former inmates, people of faith, victims of fire and those facing addiction, this Biographies & Memoirs title offers a rare and real look at a program many Californians don’t even know exists. It also helps taxpayers understand how their support helps transform lives.

Thomas Cronin stands as proof that people can change, second chances matter and sometimes the strongest heroes come from the most unlikely places. His courage to share this story makes Broken Chains Of An Inmate Firefighter not just another Biographies & Memoirs book—it makes it a movement of hope.

Broken Chains Of An Inmate Firefighter is now available on Amazon:
