Someone recommended Eric Schlosser's Command and Control earlier and I'd like to recommend that too if you're interested in nuclear weapon research/mishaps. This is chilling stuff and really well written. It reads like a thriller which it kinda is.

OHGODOHGODOHGOD Key takeaway from the article: He was trying to push a piece of wood in with his foot. He went in feet (or foot) first. Jesus.

Shoelaces are apparently a osha fear of mine. In that industrial shredder video I commented about the guy still having his thumb hooked into the shoe with dangling laces after it had made contact with the shredder, and with this incident all I can think of is a shoelace getting caught on a trunk being fed into the machine

If you need to push something into an actively spinning set of blades, don't use your own body. Your leg (or life) is not worth the extra speed of just kicking the wood in and hoping that you get clear in time. Generally, if your method ever includes the words "as long as I get out of the way in time" or "as long as I don't move a few inches too far" you should rethink your method.

Taking the time to remind everyone to visit the NIOSH FACE database. It's a collection of detailed on-the-job accident reports in all fields, from construction to agriculture to bowling alleys. It includes a lot of unusual and terrifying accidents and the reasons for their occurrence.

Some of the Sheep posted:Something like this, which a number of people here have claimed is acceptable? It's technically not unsafe because that bar stops the mechanism, but you're still relying on the mechanism to work and you not to lose your grip or balance to keep you from turning into ground long pork. Just get a stick.

We all know that the first thing a skilled worker does when it encounters a stop bar is add duct tape "this fuckin thing's just slowing me down, it always turns off the machine because it thinks im some new idiot but ive been doing this for 35 years and havent screwed up yet"

Just get a stick. How does that mechanism work? Like, when you let go of the bar it stops? Because I can totally see someone panicking and keeping hold of the bar, or trying to pull themselves out with it... you know, until it's too late. Technically not unsafe my rear end.

Reading that OSHA thing one post up it appears that they stop the machine when the bar gets pushed forwards (towards the hungry maw of mechanical teeth) Actually the full OHSHIT mode of that top-bar only reverses the feed rollers, it doesn't say anything about braking or stopping the jaws of death.

I've seen some remote operators that use three positions, sort of like the shutter on a camera. Squeeze gently, and the thing runs. Push hard or let go and it shuts off.

Keep in mind the article says it was this person's first day on the job so he may or may not have been instructed as to the finer points of jamming a piece of wood into a chipper with one's foot.

It's also unfair to the chippers because once they've acquired the taste for human blood and associate it with food they have to be destroyed.

Mozi posted:Keep in mind the article says it was this person's first day on the job so he may or may not have been instructed as to the finer points of jamming a piece of wood into a chipper with one's foot. From my reading of the NIOSH FACE database and other sources, it's an unfortunate truth that many companies (especially smaller ones with a dozen or two employees) provide nothing but on-the-job training and start workers ASAP. The FACE database even includes a sorting purely for Hispanic victims, likely because of the prevalence of companies using cheap immigrant labor while spending little to no money and effort on proper training or even translation efforts. The incident I was reading earlier involved that very problem. A Mexican immigrant who had only been in the United States for a few months was brought to a job site and immediately put to work after arrival. He luckily avoided incident on the first day, but he was given no training except being told to watch another employee drive a compact roller and do what he did. He had nobody to translate for him except his friend and co-worker and nobody fluent in Spanish working above him who could give instructions directly. So of course, he has no idea that the roller is only meant to climb 17 degree slopes and drove it up a 45 degree angle, while sitting on the buckled seatbelt so he didn't need to put it on to drive the machine. Inevitably, the roller tipped, he was thrown from the cab, and the roll cage went over his back.

It was an extra stupid move because there's a software option to temporarily override the door sensor if you want, and it automatically resets itself to the safe mode the next time the machine is cycled. Either he wasn't aware of this option, or he just liked running without the safety interlock every single time.

Just get a stick. You don't rely on safety mechanisms to save you. Newer ones have knee bars as well as the overhead bar, but it's still no guarantee. Step one of not getting sucked into a wood chipper is don't put your hands or feet into a wood chipper. I work on a lot of heavy equipment, and it's all dangerous if you're not careful, but out of all of it, wood chippers are the only things that will grab you and drag you screaming to a painful death as part of their normal operation. It's best to treat them as if they are actively trying to kill you.

That's all in gas form, not liquid form, right? So there wouldn't even be much in there compared to normal gas canisters.
