The question with the natural gas thing to me is this. Isn't the danger of explosions the rapid expansion as the gasses rip apart into stuff that takes up more volume incredibly suddenly? A gas canister exploding is super bad because there's so much gas in such a tiny area that all goes at once, or nearly, so it gives a big boom. How much does natural gas 'decompress' 'cause that looks like it would pop like a hydrogen balloon, not very dangerously.

I'm working at a metal supply place rn and am the only person to wear safety goggles while operating the giganto industrial bandsaws, and also, the only person not to go reaching into the goddamn hydraulic press that holds stock while the saws are turned on. What's the lockout procedure? I have no idea, and neither do any coworkers I've asked.

So I gave him a suggestion that would give him the procedures right quick. When he gets asked why the hell he turned the machine off to mess with it.

Isn't the danger of explosions the rapid expansion as the gasses rip apart into stuff that takes up more volume incredibly suddenly? When you mix natural gas and atmospheric oxygen and ignite it, you get rapid expansion as a bunch of superheated CO2 and water vapor take up a lot more volume incredibly suddenly. That's nowhere near as much natural gas as would exist in a pressurized cylinder, no, but that's at *least* 15 cubic meters of natural gas, that's easily enough to kill people if you let it get to a stochiometric ratio before it ignited.

It's not so much that the reaction products take up more space (you go from an O2/gas mix to a CO2/water vapor mix of equal mass, there's not much difference there) as the fact that the heat produced causes additional expansion. With slow heating this isn't an issue, but if your fuel and air are mixed correctly it all gets set off at once, and creates enough of a momentary overpressure wave to damage poo poo in a big way. The danger of, say, kitchen gas explosions isn't so much that your house will blow apart as if a bomb had been set off inside it, it's more:

Man, the Germans designed much better dirigibles than the US. That thing could never get off the ground Sort-of-content: Are there any seriously out of date training videos/booklets that teach workers safety methods that would be obscenely incorrect by today's standards? I know that safety really boils down to "don't be in a position that could get you maimed or killed if everything goes wrong", but who knows how the specifics are handled. I remember seeing this one a while back, and while it's over 30 years old the basics still seem perfectly sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v26fTGBEi9E

Slow Mo Guys is basically "safety? what's that?", which is great. Here's one where Dan almost loses fingat by failing to drop a firecracker from his hand and into a glass jar of paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLemSAMaKfY Here's another where he fumbles a pan of burning oil all over himself because a bee scared him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_lFUGkur_8

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. Considering it was his first day and he was filling in for someone else what's the chances the company that hired him is going to get sued in to oblivion? They had to have broken some kind of law e: Lmao, family said they're not mad at the company.

So when you get sucked into a wood chipper, does it usually pull you the whole way through or does it just get your leg and then you bleed out?
