Good points all...

I spent most of Saturday in some very awkward positions in the locker, following wiring. Fortunately my slip neighbor was on site and latter commented on how long I had been upside down and jammed in the locker.

Most of the time it was just awkward, however, there was one moment when I could not untwist myself... my weight was too far into the locker and yes, it dawned on me that "hey, I could get stuck in here." That required a few minutes sit down time to think about. (I did eventually figure out what went where... )

This is indeed a timely subject and indeed a good reminder that we should take actions to ensure that someone checks on us at a periodic basis.

Along with a "work plan" may I suggest that one tie open hatches that might close... my lockers have outside hasps, but I know some of you have those automatic closing locks that you push on to release... from the outside.
