Ugh. What a hack job.

Regarding fire extinguisher training - we had it at work, and one of the thing emphasized was that the fire extinguishers were there to stop small things like a fire in a trash can, or a small piece of equipment. We were ordered that if there was a big fire, like a room was engulfed, to forget the extinguisher and get out. We were also advised that if we chose to "play fireman" in a situation like that, we could be punished up to termination. It does make sense.

Also, one of the manuals for a medium-voltage drive (sort of like a dimmer switch but thousands of times larger) at work warns if you see smoke or flames coming from the drive, press the e-stop (on the drive) and don't use water to fight the fire. If the drive was on fire there's no way in hell I would walk up to it and press the e-stop.

By 'press the e-stop', they meant 'the big "oh gently caress me" switch outside next to the distribution gear'. Anything bigger than about 100 KVA and there is sweet gently caress all you could do to convince me to get near it when it starts to arc. There is a really good reason why the highest level arc flash PPE look sorta like foil covered bomb suits.

It's much higher than 100kVA. Only time I've seen Level 4 suits being worn was when they were racking 7kV breakers into a hot bus by hand. They don't do that anymore, they use a robotic racking system. So for the foreseeable future, the Level 4 suits are probably going to collect dust. My own personal suit is Level 2. I've only used it once or twice, I remember using that when doing diagnostic work with exposed 480V motor control center equipment.

Could you put in flexible metallic conduit from the breaker panel down to a box with a quadruplex outlet? (EDIT: I think you cannot install that where it's subject to physical damage, so you may need to put in actual conduit. There's EMT, that's metal tubing that's super thin, and you also can't use that in any area where you might be able to damage it.)

The fire extinguisher thing: Who the hell cares how much of a pansy weakling someone is if they can't pick up the fire extinguisher? I'd be more than fine with it sitting on the ground than die in a fire because the one person who got to the extinguisher was a pansy.

Anyway. Does anyone else's office send out an e-mail every time there's a work-related injury? I don't mean "Fred broke his leg, let's be more careful from now on;" I mean "Fred felt some pain in his leg after work, et's be mindful of how much we stand during the day." I'm getting sick of them.

The cynic in me says they're designed to try to cut down on REPORTING of workplace accidents. If they name names, I bet plenty well think twice - "I can't tell them about my back pain after lifting that case of toilet paper alone, they'll think I'm such a pussy" or "ha, as if I'll tell them about my finger. Screw that claw form lecture again, my mother taught me the right way to use a knife and I'll be damned if someone tries to shove this cut in my face"

Another source for disaster porn is the EPA's On-Scene Coordinator page. http://epaosc.org/.

This is the group that handles emergency response for environmental releases, but also field responses for long-term monitoring projects too. You can also search by EPA region to find events in your neighborhood.

Not quite OSHA, but this seems like the place for it.

For example, the recent CSX derailment in WV.
