Three-Phase posted:I've got a tankless at work that is skin-blisteringly hot. I'm pretty sure it's more like 175F. We have a tap that comes out at 75°C in the maintenance closet, which is about the same temp as yours. No one really knows why it's there, but our unofficial official use for it is for terrifyingly hot mop water. However, some people have been known to use it to make their coffee when they're too lazy to wait for the kettle to boil. We call it "mop coffee".

Just had this one passed on to me by my brother in Alberta. A friend of his is working in some sawmill in the north of the province and just quit his job because of this incident. So he's working for his lumber yard that's your're pretty average semi-permanent mill. The whole facility can essentially be packed up in a week and moved to another site closer to the source, as most everything is stored in, or built out of storage containers. My brother's friend used to to exploratory drilling for some company that looks for oil deposits, but he got laid off almost a year ago when oil took a hit. Both operations need people to maintain large moving parts and keep things clean so that they don't wear out, so he was able to transition to this pretty easily. So three days ago the one conveyor that hauls the single-cut boards starts smoking at one of the bearings. Seems that the meth-heads that are 90% of the employees at this site are not so keen to grease the bearings for the conveyor (he takes care of the larger equipment, the other guys are supposed to maintain their own little sections). The guy turns off the machine, hangs an orange flag over the switch, puts a sheet of paper with, "machine being greased, don't turn on" on the door to the control panel room, goes to the breaker, turns it off, and puts one of the locks on it. He's just about to walk away when he decides to take the key out of the lock, just as a precaution. So the guy is 15 minutes into greasing the bearings and he's gone through two tubes of grease (this is a 45' length of conveyor, with a hundred or so bearings, and they are all pretty much bone dry. He goes to the automotive supply shed to get another tube of grease to finish up. He comes back to the conveyor, takes a knee and jumps back 6' when the conveyor springs to life. He runs to the control panel and one of the meth heads has just turned it back on. He flips it off, and screams at him, "why did you turn this on?". The meth head tells him that the boss told him that a circuit probably tripped, and to turn it back on (boss is off-site and one of the meth heads radioed him saying the machine was broken). He asks the meth head why he didn't read the sign or notice the flag on the control panel. No answer, he then drags the guy to the breaker panel and asks him how he turned it back on? The guy picks up the lock out of the garbage, which has obviously been sawed. He walked off the job right there and then, as he knew he was pretty much living on borrowed time around that crew.

The lab I work in has signs saying "non-potable water" on all taps and I wonder if there's actually anything unsafe about the water or if they just want to discourage eating and drinking around chemicals and radioisotopes.

Normal set up is to have one tie into the city water with a backflow preventer and now you have an industrial water supply that is 99% likely to just be potable but if poo poo goes down you aren't crossing the streams with the drinking fountain.

If there aren't things like backflow preventers and such on all the taps, there very well could be a situation where some horrible chemical 3 benches down gets sucked up into the line unknowingly. Legalese, basically, i'm sure the water's nominally fine, it's just that if it's not fine, you're looking at more than a tummyache.

The sanitation section of OSHA 1910 talks about back flow stoppers to protect potable water. Also talks about maintaining potable water systems which could suck a mountain of dicks for a site's entire water system. Also don't eat/drink in laboratory space with nasty chemicals. I don't even touch anything ungloved at the work benches.

Mithaldu posted:Jesus christ, that is a hell of a story. Since he's quitting anyhow, he should get OSHA on their rear end instead of just running away. It might have resulted in the company getting a fine and the hacksaw guy getting canned. He'd still be working with a bunch of methheads with little to no reasoning skills. The mill follows all the OSHA standards apparently, it's just the average employee is a moron who is 99.999% focussed on their next score of whatever drug tickles their fancy, so all the lockouts, barriers, flags, and safety courses don't mean much. Darkhold posted:I'd put even money on the fact he didn't quit but was fired when he complained because he wasn't supposed to be working on that machine. No, he quit. He is certified/allowed to service pretty much every piece of equipment they have on site (except vehicles) so this was well within his job requirements, but simple stuff like this is expected to be be done by the different operators. So if some guy is working a de-barker, he's expected to grease it and change teeth, and call my brother's friend when something bigger happens. The only operators that are not expected to grease/maintain their own equipment are the sawmill (actual bandsaw operators) as they are expensive as hell and a little more involved than filling up grease nipples. Since one of the bearings was smoking, this was 100% something he was supposed to take care of as per his job description.
