Experience in similar situations, and a good memory, can give a person a sense of how certain things tend ti work out. I go on a job and see a bunch of young bucks who are inexperienced, highly enthusiastic, trying to prove how good they are, or are being paid by the job and the first thing I do is grab the first-aid kit. No need to make a production about it. Not having an accident is good to.

But groups of young guys, enthusiasm, lack of planning and experience, and an inherently hazardous job usually means someone gets hurt. Someone will leave a tool on top of a ladder. Someone else will start to move the ladder and the tool will come down on their head. A load will get dropped on a foot. Someone will fail to use gloves handling a sheet metal fixture and slice their palms. But odds are it will happen.

And when it does your Johnny-on-the spot with the first-aid kit and and a well practiced safety talk that makes the injury an object lesson on safety. An outside observer might conclude you knew what was going to happen ahead of time.

Experience shows that if the young bucks are used to unload fragile materials they will damage a certain percentage. So when ordering it pays to order a few extra. Makes it look like you saw into the future when they break one and people assume it will delay the job. Only to be relieved there was extra.

Experience and an eye toward how things tend to go and how and why things fall apart might be construed as being able to see into the future.
