Fail video with a few OSHA stuff, including what looks like a tanker creating some crude oil rain.

That 'oil' is smoking. It might actually be molten asphalt.

"I guess it was the truck driver that said, `There's a guy buried in here' and I ... found a shovel, and me and another guy tried digging him out," Hill said.
I love the sense of urgency. I get that it was most likely a mad scramble to get the kid out, but the way the article is written makes it sound like, "well we just ambled on over, figured we better grab a shovel.."

Mad scramble or no, the kid was dead when the 300 degrees Fahrenheit material crushed him.
All following actions were an attempt to give his family a less-cooked body to bury.

For a mobile asphalt milling machine the equipment moves as it operates. You'll have an operator and a spotter, and a small additional crew of at most a couple people for odds and ends. Nobody should ever be anywhere within arm or shovel-reach of its belts or moving parts while it is in motion, ever (as grindy-gus found out).

The guy standing directly underneath and behind the dump truck as it was dumping. There was no reason for him to be there (other than being an untrained underage child laborer who decided not to be within line of sight of the truck driver).

The owner took over the business from his uncle 9 years earlier, despite having little experience in the field and no safety training. None of his employees received any safety training. He hired 14 and 15 year olds when it is illegal for anyone under 16 to work in construction (he claims he didn't know that, that the regulator "doesn't advertise it" and that he thought all he needed was the parents permission). He was eventually fined $33,000.

There was a building at work with a few extra doors leading to (site, not public) streets that they didn't want to put a railing or bollard up for because there were other doors with railings or bollards 4 steps away. Instead of locking or otherwise disabling, at some point in history they were hooked up to alarms which were since disabled in favor of other alarm systems and probably because people forgot why they were turned into emergency only in the first place. This is where I get to admit I'm awful at safety because I abused the hell out of those doors to save 4 steps all the time.

Anyway its tough to tell from the one picture because that could be anything from Triangle Shirtwaist to a prank. Even without the lock its the worst emergency exit ever because there's a turn handle instead of a pushbar and the signage is a low visibility copy machine printout, though to be fair maybe there's a lighted sign out of frame?

Though it is ridiculous and irresponsible to do such a thing, even a child could shoulder-check that door open. That's just mild steel screwed into mild steel.

As an emergency exit the biggest problem is that it doesn't have a whammy bar on it. Emergency exits should never have handles. It looks like it's drilled for it and has the appropriate wards on the outside.

The problem comes when that child has been inhaling smoke from burning who-knows-what and is barely able to see, let alone move.

No emergency exit should be locked, ever.


We had an issue in our Singapore division where every fire extinguisher had to be rehoused. In Australia, we had them on small hooks and "all" you needed to do was lift them by less than 1cm and you could free them for use. But the company found a large number of employees in Singapore* couldn't lift the extinguishers at all. If there had been a fire, it would have been really bad, to say the least.

Now, after a lot of fuss, all extinguishers no matter where they are, sit in little plastic stands on the floor and can be simply dragged along the ground.

What's easy for you or me isn't necessarily easy for everyone.


* And more than one person here confessed they had been worried about having to try and lift an extinguisher in case of a fire but was afraid to mention it.


EDIT: here we go, we moved from this:





To this:




It's now company policy in every country that fire extinguishers are to be foor mounted in such a way they to not need to be lifted at all to be used.
