Evilreaver posted:I've always wondered what happened after that. Do they write everything off as lost? Do they have some guys sort out the destroyed stuff from the damaged stuff from the "we can still sell it" stuff? How long did it take them to dig the driver out? I used to be a warehouse manager and have experienced many a row collapse. Never anything as excessive like the video, but still huge piles on the ground. In general, because of the packaging and stacking, the product is fine. It's just a half day taken up by re-stacking which fucks the supply chain. It is solvable though.

Blistex posted:When I worked at the Beer store over the summer, we regularly stacked pallets of cans 3 high right before long weekends. Yeah; in fairness it's pretty drat stable such that a person isn't going to tip it over themselves, but instead of 3 high go 5 high and then watch someone move the entire 5-high stack with a forklift by sliding it along the floor because it takes too long to unstack it all over the floor and restack it just to get one of the pallets behind it.  Other important things I learned by watching / hearing / seeing the damage: If you forget you have a really tall wrapped pallet of macaroni and cheese elevated and you try to go from the backroom to the sales floor with it and hit the wall above the door, that poo poo will accordion something fierce, crushing 50% of the boxes. If you aren't paying attention, it's easy to sheer off the sprinkler head in the freezer with a pallet and turn the freezer into an ice rink. If you try to take a forklift out onto the asphalt outside and then try to lift something heavy, you'll sink into the asphalt and be stuck. And also probably avoid doing this:

My favorite thing at my job (I'm a production manager at a 20mil+ manufacturing facility) is that you get written up for doing damage with the forklift if you report that you did it along with a drug test. So there is zero incentive to reporting yourself for the damage. One of my techs had the forks too low and one of the steel covers for the electrical wiring runs out to the floor sticks up 1/2" and he bent the poo poo out of a fork because he hooked the plate. Write up. I forget to file them with HR for permanent keeping provided it wasn't something truly dangerous. If on the story above he hit something with the forks at waist height it'd be entirely different story. Edit: Write ups are a major major deal at my company which is why you'd be screwed if something circumstantial were permanently held against you. You're supposed to drive with the forks low and we fixed the steel plate after it happened. Because of my reasonable policy I'm the only one who's team actually reports their accidents. c0ldfuse fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Sep 5, 2015 |

My my company has a policy of using a spotter to back up trucks. My spotter was guiding me (at night in our parking lot they refuse to replace the burnt out bulbs for because hey! The trucks have headlights!) and I made contact with another's truck footstep with mine. I felt them contact, stopped the truck, adjusted and parked the truck. My spotter was like oops, sorry didn't notice. I reported the damage to the mechanic, he fixed it with a forklift. The paint wasn't even scratched. I got a write up with the same penalty as a full blown crash totaling a truck. "you should have known better than to trust your spotter"....

My workplace doesn't have forklifts (though we do train people on them). We've permanently got a Terex boom truck and a Broderson IC-80 carry deck crane in the garage out back, which are used both for practical exams and general lifting and transport on the field (though the Broderson is the only thing that actually gets used regularly for transporting poo poo like barrels and pipes for challenges, we spent a good half a year with it out of commission and had to use the boom truck for even mild tasks like hauling wooden boards and empty oil drums). One time the roll-up door on the garage wasn't rolled up all the way and it only just barely clears the boom truck when all the way up. Crash, replace the door. The most OSHA thing to happen so far was something breaking in the garage (like a light or sensor or something, don't remember what because I wasn't working there at the time) and the 80-year-old instructor allowed a student to climb the ladder to fix it. Of course, he broke his leg falling off. And then some people moved him without knowing whether or not he had any back injuries. We avoided a lawsuit, but it's become a lasting bit of dark humor at work because of how incredibly stupid it was.

Forklift chat: you guys need to come out to cargo city at Miami International sometime. It's basically a bunch of airplanes, plus a whole shitload of ten ton forklifts with extended load forks, driven exclusively by Venezuelans on their cellphones (they're always on their cellphones, without exception,) with no seat belts, driving backwards without looking, flat out. Miami is a loving third world country, is what I'm saying.

I am friendly with a guy whose brother was killed - he worked at a place that made gabions (the wire cages full of stones) and they were stacked 5 high. Not so bad until the forklift guy on the other side of the aisle knocks the top one off while trying to lift it, and suddenly a tonne or two of stone lands right on you. They pretty much called an ambulance, lifted the gabion off him, then the ambulance guys sorta shovelled his remains off the concrete floor. A quick death, I suppose, that would be the only thing positive you could say about it.

The door for the store I work at has been hit numerous times with the forklift and every time we just take a mallet and hammer it back "straight". It's not exactly in great condition anymore but it still works! Somehow I've managed to be one of very few people that haven't smashed the door with the forklift.

 From the way the fire chases the people, I'm guessing some kind of heavier than air gas or vaporized fuel?

It must be significantly denser because it didn't explode, so the mixed layer between the air and the fuel is pretty tiny.

Safety cones are useful, but if you really want carte blanche to to something crazy you need red/black or red/white danger tape. Like the "police line do not cross" tape but it's red or red and white.
