One contractor likes to tell stories of some poor kid who tried to take a trash can up one by balancing it on his head.

That reminds me of that video of some German mineshaft manlift. Similar tiny platforms but it would just go down 2 meters and back up, repeatedly. So to descend or ascend you had to switch platforms every 2 meters. And you kinda don't want to fall into a mineshaft. Does anyone have a link to that video?

The particular video you’re thinking of might be the one linked in the Wikipedia article, but it’s a dead link now.

Lurking Haro posted:I like how this implies that there are no inner doors in those elevators. At my old workplace, there were a handful of elevators with no inner doors. There was an infrared cutoff safety switch if you got within 2-3cm of the door/floor as it passed by, but I'm sure they didn't have that originally.

Number_6 posted:WTF is the story behind this? It's probably a PAX system runflat. These were used on the Honda Odyssey. PAX uses a plastic donut ring on the wheel that the weight actually rides on when the tire goes flat. This tire must have been driven on flat for a VERY long time. PAX uses special wheels that have a larger diameter on the inside - to make the tires stay seated on the bead.

Our hotel in Istanbul (oddly, about 50 meters from where the bomb went off today) had a very small elevator with no inner door. Thanks to this thread I remembered the patenoster warning signs and did not try and crowd my luggage into the lift.

The first one is forbidden to us filthy foreigners, apparently.  And the second one MAY have a 19:30 but I have no idea what planet these timecodes are from; for sure, nothing including 19: showed up. Ever.  Would love to see a video of this machinework, though!

EssOEss posted:Nice effort but your link-fu is weak today. The first one is forbidden to us filthy foreigners, apparently. What the gently caress. I get a completely different video for the second link. About some old dude getting a catheter. That first link seems to be the right one but I can't watch it from my country either. It did give me something to google for and I found a short clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLhoYVdeupg You see someone using it at 1:40. More info at wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Pit I remember from when the full video was available, that while the mine is abandoned, there's some kind of electricity generating turbine down there and the only way to reach it for maintenance is by using this death trap machine.

Enfys posted:But...why? At the time the alternative was a long ladder. Long ladders are also dangerous, especially at the end of the shift when you're exhausted. Apparently some mines already had beams doing that little dance as part of a pumping system, so it wasn't a great expense to add little platforms to let miners ride them.

Neutrino posted:Starting August 1st, OSHA penalties will increase to index it with inflation. The maximum penalty for serious violations will jump from $7,000 to $12,471. Still a drop in the bucket but at least it could help. is it auto-pegged? because it should be at work we got a Safety Bulletin (we get an extra ten minutes on payday to talk about these, and every week there's something dumb and we have to sign them as if we've read them) that OSHA fines have doubled since <<DATE>> and i sat there and did a rough calculation, aloud, that as the value of money (in the US) generally halves every ten years, osha fines had actually gone down about 30% nobody cared thats my story thanks for reading

not really osha but someone in irc is describing various electrical problems in their flat to me: when i turn on the garbage disposal the modem shuts off the disposal is not actually spinning up all the way just making sad little noises sounds like a partial short, but infact, when i unflip the breaker myself, one of the kitchen lights turns ON okay that's two hots on the same phase wired to a light, when the breaker grounds itself the circuit is completed, and when i turned the stove off the modem powered down no, what is i can also control the amount of electricity that goes to the modem via the position of the stove burner dial the stove is acting as a giant resistor, wired in series to the modem somehow.. while also being on the same circuit as other poo poo. basically this entire place is a My First Circuit kit. horrifying also they are a guest in the aprtment and have already lost a laptop power supply and an external hard drive. nice host, eh?

I hope he faces a stringent penalty for his disregard for safety, so like 12 spacebux or something.
