Sentient Data posted: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" quote:If a group email went out at my place of work (hospital) telling everyone about someone else's injury, they'd be used into the ground for breach of confidentiality. They don't say who was injured, just what the person was doing at the time and their department. My company is nuts about getting everyone to report every single tiny incident, but I just don't see the point in telling the whole company when someone hurt their toe tripping on a tire.

Its lean management stuff, where your individual teams are supposed to discuss the event and look at ways to continuously improve your work processes or worksite to prevent similar things from happening to you. OK, less douchey time. To put it simply, they want to make sure noones going to gently caress up in exactly the same way and have the excuse to fire your rear end if you end up doing the exact same thing.

It's because a lot of companies that, for example, have field and corporate offices, implement the same programs across the board. The "safety minute" every day at a rig site might actually be useful, because there's actual risks involved. The "safety minute" at corporate soon becomes a farce and you end up with stupid poo poo like "remember to hold onto the railing when going up or down stairs."

I used to work in the office of a construction company. Absolutely nothing was dangerous. But they had safety slogan bullshit everywhere and, no joke, made everyone put lids on their coffee cups.

You laugh, but when we did our initial week long safety training with a certain large oilfield service company they spent a good hour going over proper use of handrails going up and down stairs, the trailing hand technique, etc. Immediately afterwards we broke for lunch and the instructor stood at the top step to observe the dozen or so university graduate engineers descend the stairs using proper technique. Proper trailing hand technique led to me catching my ring on the railing support, jamming it a few mm under my skin and up my pinky (degloving lite), which ironically had been the focus of the training that morning.

Nefarious posted:same thing that happens to an ice tray Probably not. Unlike an ice tray, the sides and bottom of the foundation are most likely well insulated by the earth, so heat transfer will be slower than with contact to the air. So a top-down freeze like a lake or pond. At the very least some serious cracks in the walls and floor, but severe damage compromising the integrity of the foundation is not out of bounds.

Depends how fast the leak is, right? Of course you could end up with a bunch of ice dams or something that just make poo poo even worse.

ElwoodCuse posted:I used to work in the office of a construction company. Absolutely nothing was dangerous. But they had safety slogan bullshit everywhere and, no joke, made everyone put lids on their coffee cups. Chevron, the gas company, had one of the worst safety ratings in the entire industry. They got a new CEO who was super serious about safety and now they're sitting at the top of the rankings every year. That's fantastic, but the byproduct is pretty bizarre. I was doing office furniture for them, standard tear down and replace with new stuff. Done it a thousand times in shoes, company shirt and work jeans... but at Chevron, and I mean a downtown corporate office environment, I was wearing steel toes, a reflective vest and a hard hat. I endured the longest 'site orientation" I've ever done. Yet I was working next to office workers in business casual, tearing down stations and moving poo poo right next to them. Every single dolly loaded, regardless of what it was (one peice of furniture, six content boxes, whatever) needed to be handled by two men at all times. We had a ten foot, safety cone-and-tape corridor from the work area to the elevator, for our two man dolly-pushing crews. This poo poo got so bad we had to add guys to the work crew in order to keep up our regular pace and deliver on time. Absolutely all of that stuff made sense out on the oil fields, and I have no issues with the safety gear when I'm on unfinished sites, or orientations for the same. But all of this to dismantle and move some furniture on an active floor was totally over the top. I did furniture in a literal nuclear reactor with less stringent safety measures. ("Here's your dosimeter, I'll check it on your way out") Good on the company for being proactive and reducing accidents as much as they did but goddamn, all that in your office building is a bit overkill.

My brother works for a <removed> company. Inside his work van there's a 5K watt genny that's also an air compressor and run's off the vans fuel supply and has a filter thing in the front that needs to be cleaned every 200 hours or something. This work van caught fire and burned to a crisp so OSHA had to investigate and now the yard manager is in deep poo poo because there's no maintenance log for replacing the the filter. According to my brother it's par for the course. A dozen or so years back a guy in a bucket lift van danced on a power line and his family got a nice big payout because the lawyer was able to prove the buckets controls were damaged before the accident yet it was still allowed to be used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw3k3Un9pNk Hooray for digs with no locate!

This is why at the company I work for we use Vac Trucks to to find all our locates before we do any real digging, especially if the utility is energized (hydro or gas).

I can't remember if I posted in this thead about the dude I saw sticking his head in the hose of a vac truck (I assume looking for a blockage). I mean the suction wasn't on at the time but the engine was running and I figured it was pretty OSHA.

I mean the suction wasn't on at the time but the engine was running and I figured it was pretty OSHA. Yeah they do that a lot cause rocks and other poo poo in the ground (they will just leave old sidewalks and walls of buildings underground sometimes) get stuck in there. It's really bad if you're working in an area that's mostly cobble/pit run, and they usually put a reducer on to lessen the chance of a block. Then it's another can of worms if it's blocked at the turret at the top cause then you need to tie off (well, you're supposed to, but it rarely happens) and work on a rounded surface like 15' up.
