chitoryu12 posted:If that were the case, it would probably be an OSHA violation to have police officers engage with any kind of violent people in the first place. Looking at it: They haven't made specific rules, but it falls under "workplace violence". It's covered covered by their very wide general duty clause ("Each employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees"), and as I understand it, it would be an OSHA violation if you failed to provide police officers with adequate training and equipment to mitigate the risks. In other news, reading foreign workplace safety rulings at 03:40 is not something I typically do.

Counterpoint: there was a time when thousands of people worked next to exposed machinery that routinely mangled them and most people considered it "no big deal." Or to put it another way: just because showering flammable or potentially-flammable things with red-hot bits of oxidizing metal shards is completely routine and commonplace, doesn't mean it's not also dangerous and unnecessary and responsible for hundreds of (usually minor) accidents and injuries per year.

Agreed, I just think it's one of those things people see and immediately freak out about. It's really difficult to gently caress up a cylinder unless the head gets knocked off. The things are made like tanks.

Safety is all about planning for the one in a million chance the packing on the cylinder valve is leaky. More applicable is just hot work best practices in that case since the sparks don't need to be aimed at the cylinder for that to go wrong. The cylinder is a striking if reactionary example of the best practice of spark containment as near to the source as feasible. More often because, as Solid Snake has taught us, its impossible to notice a cardboard box out of place until its too late.

I don't think Adam Corolla is funny (I think he looks and sounds like the Frankenstein monster) but I've seen a few episodes of that and it can be pretty great watching these shitbags get called out and have to justify their inexcusably sloppy work.

bitcoin bastard posted:*starts backing away slowly, breaks into run half a second later* It's definitely not best practice and would earn you a "dude, move your poo poo" pretty promptly in any decent shop, but it's also definitely not a Holy gently caress Run Away thing. Grinder sparks are no big and there's no part of an oxyfuel outfit, not even the hoses, that should be vulnerable, but if there were a leaky fitting or regulator somewhere in there it could be bad news. like i've basically done that, went to use an acetylene torch assuming the last user that day set poo poo up properly, but they had forgotten to tighten a nut somewhere downstream of the torch and had someone else's hot work set the leak on fire, and: a little candle flame burned at the juncture, was promptly noticed and extinguished, joint was tightened and leak-tested. if it had been a heavy gas that accumulated in a low spot or if it had burned for a long time unnoticed and heated the brass fittings up to the point where theyd start melting the hose or whatever it could have been very bad, but observing basic situational awareness and other safety procedures (beyond the failed "check connections before using torch", my bad) acts as a check against that.

Because if its the latter, how do you prevent the he said/she said bullshit? Like, in this clip, how do I know this contractor actually hosed that couple over, or if that couple actively hosed him over on the deal? We just take the word of the couple? I mean, there are probably equally pieces of poo poo contractors and piece of poo poo homeowners out there so, call me skeptical. Tony Homo posted:NMS?

I recall seeing an episode where the owners fed the show a line of BS, they got the contractor and the real story came out. For the rest, you can absolutely tell that the "contractors" have no clue what they're doing, things are massively unsafe, etc. They don't go out to a house with an addition that's perfect except the paint's not finished; they show up to an addition that's built using scrap wood, wiring that's completely hosed, etc.

Melian Dialogue posted:Did he miss that first shot? It looks like he missed the first shot, and it was like point blank. This isn't really the place for this video, but he hit her easily. Gunshot wounds in real life don't look anything like they do in movies, to the point where people are actually conditioned to think that real shootings are fake because they don't look like how media depicts it. Most gunshot wounds don't even bleed substantially until a second or so after the hit (as opposed to the Hollywood blood squirt or big puff of dust from their shirt), so the most you often see is just their shirt fluttering a little from the impact....then the blood starts to stain and pool around the body. And unless the wound is instantly incapacitating, it's actually pretty common for people to not even have an immediate pain reaction. People who are shot often run, flinch, or begin fighting back before the damage finally causes them to collapse. If he hit in such a way that she would drop instantly you would have seen her fall over, but the Hollywood depiction is just actors intentionally flailing and falling on command. Adrenaline plays a big part, and many people interviewed after the fact have said that they didn't even notice their injuries until either the attack was over or the damage finally becomes so great that they collapse and can't figure out why. Until the pain comes in. This even occurs with gunshot wounds to the head that don't cause immediate, massive destruction. A .45 ACP or 9mm round to the head at point blank, and at first glance the person's legs just give out and they crumple to the ground. It takes a second for any bleeding, unless the damage is so severe that it actually blows the head apart. So yes, even in the "sanitized" version that all the news stations showed where she just screams and runs, she's being shot. The scream and jump is a reaction to the gunshot and likely the initial feeling of impact. She probably fell over mid-stride as if she tripped when she was off camera.

CampingCarl posted:I assume access to those thing is usually locked and that doesn't look like a worker but either way it seems like someone would get fired. Dunno, I visited a farm once and the farmer had his own wind turbine. It was built by a company that builds the ones for power companies as well, but this was private so he had free electricity (and could sell left-over electricity back to the power company). It was a relatively small one. The farmer invited us to take a look inside the thing, and he just had a key to the door. Inside, at the bottom of the tower, there was a floor with a hatch a few feet above us, and beyond that hatch I could see a ladder start. So if he had given us a way to get up through that hatch, we could've climbed all the way to the top. He told us that nobody was allowed to go up there without a safety harness, and especially not untrained people like ourselves, so that was all we saw.

Last time I was at welding supply yard, while I was waiting for my bottles, I happened to glance down at an empty in their post-hydro receiving area. Freshly painted, looked new, except for a HILARIOUSLY long line of hydro dates. The first one was nineteen fifty-nine.
