GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Blow the rest of the extinguisher in their face. Ha, we had a fire safety class last week and the instructor specifically told us not to do anything dumb like try to stomp a fire out, but to always use the extinguisher. He also showed us a lot of hilarious (well, hilarious if you don't think about the amount of property damage and potential injuries and lost lives) photos of stuff he's actually found during inspections and after large fires. They also did away with the fun part of the class which was when we'd get to practice putting out a real (small) fire (outdoors). Now it's this electronic video game type thing. It's like putting out a Lite-Brite fire with a laser pointer.  "You missed a spot... no there... point it there... THERE... goddammit Sheryl, point it at the loving FLAME!"

Luckily our building is well alarmed and the trucks always arrive within a few (3-5) minutes of the alarm. I would not want to leave it up to the employees to put out a fire. Don't get me started about the poo poo they do with the microwave.

I was at an airsoft game on Saturday and some errant smoke grenade throw set a building on fire. They put it out by having a staff member stand on the roof of a utility vehicle (like a Yamaha Rhino or something) and just spray the corner of the roof directly with an extinguisher.

Platystemon posted:Serious answer: they’re not fail‐safe. There’s nothing stopping one broken sensor from jamming the machine in “full forward” or some other state you don’t want. Your software needs to handle the loss of inputs and/or you have a separate safety system that safes the whole thing. We use X-box controllers all the time at work for this sort of thing. It breaks? Buy another one at any Best Buy for $30, runs on AA batteries! E: From experience, they never break stuck in one direction, you usually get a lovely big deadband in the middle, or a slight offset at the "zero" position.

Uh, probably goes without saying but despite being about 7 seconds long this is pretty horrific and  It's literally someone on a zipline slamming into the other end's guardrail at max speed, and not I dunno, someone in a hospital giving the thumbs up.

TotalLossBrain posted:Here's a nice OSHA. For reference, the kid is about 5'9"-5'10". I've seen lines like this that run close to train lines(within the 15' on either side, not literally next to the tracks) and they don't go up and down extremely sharply, which probably explains it. Are the nearby poles the same height? Are they near somewhere that has low-flying aircraft or demands low clearance? Slope on the lines looks like it's short so it doesn't cause the lines to droop dangerously low.

Fairly certain that the top level is the only power, and all those glass insulators on the lower level are old-school telegraph lines that used to be all over the place alongside railroad tracks. I think they run something like 70 volts, at fairly low amperage. They'll give you a good tingle, but unless you put them across a pace-maker, unlikely to cause any real harm.

I love this thread for both the humor and because it reassures me that I'm not crazy for being anal about safety at work. One time I didn't have a lockout that would fit a breaker and assigned someone to sit in the electrical closet while we did the work on the off chance that anyone came in. Nobody came in, but nobody got hurt, either.

I used to be a CNA, I can tell you that most hospitals consider hand sanitizers to be just as effective as soap and water. Alcohol based hand sanitizers dissolves the lipid membranes and denatures the protein in bacteria, soap on the other hand, coats bacteria in a film which allows for water to remove the bacteria. It's dissolving bacteria vs washing it away, and (according to hospital policy and clinical trials) hand sanitizers perform quite well with the exception of spore forming bacteria such as C. Diff - which is removed by soap and water. That said, I still prefer soap and water but primarily because hand sanitizers tend to be loaded up with tons of moisturizers that will form a thick grease on your hands after a few uses.

When I worked at Dominos I had to refill the soap dispensers. The pink stuff came in a gallon jug with a plain white label that said Dominos Hand Soap blah blah blah. I looked at the bottom of the label, and saw: "Avoid Contact With Skin" I showed it to the assistant manager who freaked out a bit and brought in some softsoap, and was going to complain to corporate or whatever, but in the end I think their response was to use the hand sanitizer instead if it was a problem. Nobody wore gloves. All I know was my knuckles and fingers were totally raw after a 3-4 hour shift if I followed correct handwashing procedures, and I was just a driver!
