Mouse spiders look really similar to funnel web spiders, certainly close enough for people to go "Nope, ain't going anywhere near that fucker, goodbye!" Their venom is pretty darned toxic but there's no record of their bite ever causing a fatality in Australia.

That's a very pretty spider.

Remember, you are infinitely more likely to be bitten by a spider if you're trying to kill it.

Saw some OSHA yesterday.

I was watching a crew put together a modular home. They had craned in the two first floor sections, and were working on craning in the first of the two second floor sections.

While workers were still bolting the two first floor pieces together. Inside the structure.

A potential customer was on-site to see how construction went. He was walking around inside the first floor of the building while they craned in the other second floor section.

I walk under boom lifts all the time, if something is safe enough to be in while it's raised, it's safe enough to walk under. They all have holding valves that prevent the hydraulics from falling even if all pressure is lost. He still shouldn't have been drilling/working while she was there, though.

Last Saturday a flatbed truck hauling a boom lift hit a bridge because the driver loaded it incorrectly: he had the boom extended way up such that he managed to hit a 15' bridge doing 125km/h. I heard second hand that two of the final drive gears exploded, and that the counterweight (a piece of steel weighing over 2 tons) fell off and skidded 300' to a stop on the highway. No one was injured but Jesus, I bet that made a noise.





Also one of the drivers from my company took a video as he drove by:

I thought the risk was the person in the lift accidentally dropping something from height, not the lift falling.

zedprime posted:

I like those odds better than a crane, but its still line of fire of a suspended load. Not having stats of boom lift incidents I don't doubt it could be matter of one size fits all where entering the line of fire is a write up, but its also usually not a huge deal to go around and as mentioned, overhead work is overhead work and you shouldn't be under the basket at the very least.

Like I said, the guy shouldn't have been drilling while the lady was walking underneath. He could have dropped the drill, or a piece could have broken off and fallen on her, or whatever. But as for the lift itself, if it's safe enough to raise a person 45-185* feet into the air, it's safe to walk under, it's not considered a suspended load. Go to any equipment rental yard and you'll see rows of elevated boom lifts, and people going back and forth underneath them.

*JLG no poo poo makes a boom lift that goes 185' above the ground. The 1850 SJ. For when you need to go 19 stories on a stick. I've never even seen one, they probably only make a handful of them every year.

This suddenly makes me feel much better about my piece of poo poo apartment. Last week they installed a new air conditioning unit on the roof of the complex, and not only did we get prior notice about the construction, there was a mandatory evacuation of the building for the few hours they were using a giant fuckoff crane to move things. The property manager even came around to make sure people were out. It sucked having to be out of the house at 9am on a Saturday, but I had work at 10:30 anyway, and if there was a chance they might drop a crane on my bed, I'd rather not be in it. v:shobon:v
