Safety is a continuous, conscious choice. As soon as you allow yourself to get "comfortable" around dangerous situations, you're at real risk for severe injury. We had a guy who had been a trainer for 20 years come in to train our operators on one of our machines. During his training he had to make a "real quick roller adjustment". The procedure is to E-Stop the machine, make the adjustment then start back up. He just slid under the machine, reached up by the roller and his hand got sucked in, ripping the skin off 3 fingers and ripping the long finger nail out by the nail bed. I used that as a "teaching moment" for our operators and had a class right there as Emergency Response was called. His face was redder than his fingers because he said "you should never make this adjustment with the machine running" just before it happened. He'd made that adjustment dozens of times with no issue and got comfortable doing it wrong.
