I did an edit but for the sake of people who never go back a page: I don't know, I don't want to know. All I know is that my job is safe, MY SITE is classed as safe and It's a sister company, so backlash will be minimally felt here. I've been sitting wanting to call a friend who works there for more information, but at the same time I really don't want to be any part of the clusterfuck of drama I hear on the grapevine. All I can say is that there were no deaths or injuries.

I work at a large multinational industrial corporation in EHS. Whenever there is a death, major injury or Osha violation corporate triples down at all the other facilities, literally tripling the safety checks/ audits we have to do. A site being classed as safe and you thinking it's safe is a giant red flag signaling it isn't. No industrial facility is safe. All jobs have some inherent risk especially onsite or on the floor. Your safety practices REDUCE the severity or chance of these events taking place, but does not eliminate them.

It might be in your best interest to ask the question to your supervisor. If your business does not care about your safety or is not concerned with double checking their safeguards, you should ask them to. Ultimately, you are the ultimate safeguard to your wellbeing.

OSHA is not a big government bad guy trying to kill your business. Their goal is to reduce death or injury. If your corporate was competent they would take advantage of this to get into compliance instead of delaying the inevitable accident.

So yeah, stay safe.

sucks to be right

Note that hardly any of these snakes are actually 'angry' and they're just really hungry. Snakes are usually fed on a strict time scale so when feeding day comes around their little snake brain is pretty much focused only on grabbing something and swallowing it which is why pretty much all those snakes grabbed and held on rather than striking repeatedly. The little dudes at 0:30 and 5:00 were about the only ones that dropped the rat and fronted up to the handler.
Also note that even though the handler seemed pretty casual about the whole thing he was very careful to keep his body a certain distance from the snakes at all times and was really quick to change tactics if the snakes weren't going for the food.

I was thinking the same thing. Reptiles are surprisingly smart when it comes to food. They 'know' when the drawer slides open food is en route. Hell, some may even recognize the whistle.

The cobras in the pit I just feel bad for. Even fanged, being tossed around a concrete floor is no way to be treated.

Thanks for inadvertently reminding me of the wonder that is youtube comments.

'Should he really be handling the snakes that way?'

'you sound like a loving human being if you love animals so much go be naked and marry and gently caress an animal you loving human being' *gets highest upvote total of all comments*

The Lake Peigneur thing is a marvel every time I see it, because I struggle to wrap my head around a job site that's actually prepared for an emergency and evacuates appropriately. Granted, that's probably just because everywhere I've ever worked is poo poo. 'Hey, look, we know we don't have the equipment to get the boxes down from that high shelf, but if you don't follow safe lifting procedures and get hurt you're fired. Also if you don't get the boxes down for the customer you're fired.'

There are people who make and use ones like that without much incident, but none of these stupid youtubers seem to notice the large table they build in front of the wheel so they can steady the log before they put it in.

It looks like the "right" way to use this is to shove it and hold it as hard as you can so the blade splits the log instead of whacking it away. Which means using it without hurting yourself is entirely contingent on the speed of the blade being sufficient, because gently caress leaning into the spinning blade to force it.

It's definitely a reasonable and quite efficient tool, I'm not doubting that part. I'm just personally incompetent and an open-air spinning blade is the sort of thing that punishes incompetence. :v:

What's the problem? (Other than those boards knocked into the water?)

The genset is sitting on a fuel tank. It's not a problem for the tank to be in contact with water, but it shouldn't be a permanent thing.
Also, what is that blue thing being held down by sand bags?

Im guessing its all a walkway for someone to open the panels and look at stuff inside the generator. In which case they probably turn off the power to it (or not).

There shouldn't be any power to it in most situations - it's a backup generator. The only power source may be a 12V or 24V battery. Line voltage is upstream of an automatic transfer switch.

Yes, that's part of the ATS, which I haven't seen as part of the genset.

The ATS or genset starter circuit should definitely be locked out if it will be worked on.

Not familiar with gen set ups but I assume that bund is to contain a fuel spill to hold the entire tank to keep exposed surface area from fueling an exploding vapor cloud. Sizing of which accounts for pooled water from rain storms to account for whatever administrative drain plan you have, or worst case if the drains plugged. Without the design specs and basis in front of you its hard to really bitch and moan, but the concerns about flooded bunds start well before trench foot.


e. Duhhhhh, generators are usually diesel, so this cna probaly be filed under EPA.tiff instead.
