Rebar caps are great and anyone working around rebar for any length of time will probably grow to love them. Using a cutoff wheel on rebar? Nice razor sharp burrs on the side. Clipping it? Nice sharp razor edge on the point where it was clipped. Even if your not looking at a full on impalement scenario brushing up against or drawing your arm against a piece of cut off rebar can still slice you up pretty good. That said, I am pro rebar cap.

I worked as a rebar monkey for a couple months and most of the conversation in the crew was about how to use hand lotion and a condom to make a prison mattress fuckable.

This is exactly the sound effect that played when I was a kid and dicking around in some construction site. The rebar went rolling and i landed on some nice fresh concrete :v:

Don't use a forklift as an elevator, folks.

quote:

Three men were injured Thursday afternoon following construction accident on State Street, police said.

Three men fell about 30 feet from a lift at the construction site, the police department said. They were taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital after sustaining serious injuries.

According to the fire department, the accident happened at 2335 State Street at about 2 p.m.

The workers, according to police, were climbing off of a building roof and the lift shifted causing the workers to fall.

They put it on the roof when the building was small, and now that the building is big and strong the excavator is all the way up there.

Implosion. Putting a dude on top with instructions to work his way down is just a liiiittle unsafe.

Aren't zip lines supposed to be at an angle less than 45 degrees?

Wasn't there a Goon awhile back who was designing/building a zip-line-of-death and he got called out that the thing was a complete deathtrap?

yes, and also you dont jump onto a zipline like that, you start out with your dangly thing taut.

And yes, that was an interesting thread. They had already built this huge platform to run the zipline from, and were trying to figure out how to make it work and based on the postings of a few goons who knew what they were talking about, there just wasn't any possible way to use the platform and still have a safe line. At all.

Leperflesh posted:

This really isn't the case.

I mean, yes, rebar is often used to form a grid, but it's also often exposed in upright positions.

This sort of thing:


which is why they make these:



And it's OSHA required to use them now.

e.


Really? You'd rather fall on an exposed bar than one of those caps? I'm no expert but it looks to me like if someone trips and lands squarely on a cap, it'd save them from impalement.

I always thought of them more as a don't-poke-your-eye-out prevention measure
