Their biggest mystery to me is their logo.


I see the upper torso of a man legging it. Which is pretty OSHA.

And one day the fuel spills out and all over the plane and catches on fire.
And the pilot discovers the ejection seat doesn't work and he has to remove the canopy and crawl out at several hundred knots.
And then the pilot discovers the parachute doesn't open, so he has to fall several thousand meters into the sea.
And then the pilot survives the impact - partly because he had his spleen removed a few years earlier.

E: might be making it up, can't find it. Some guy in san antonio did take a fence post through the chest from an accident though and was alive when the article was written. In proper OSHA news, my friend does site environmental supervision and kind of safety work. He stumbled across some thick wires exposed in a ditch. One of the contractors determined they weren't live by grabbing them.

Yeah, it took me a while to parse it like that, probably because the arms are the same thickness as the body and you can't see the part of the arm that is in front (or behind?) the body.

Why would a stick of dynamite be a part of a road crew's standard equipment if this isn't what they're supposed to be doing? :confused:

That's like giving a dog a bowl of food and telling it not to eat, or a kid a soccer ball and telling him not to kick it around.
Give a road crew some dynamite, suddenly every problem can be fixed with a little explosives and asphalt.

Does anyone remember the story about the guy arrested for sabotage at some government facility because he had a device that caused the plant or whatever to shut down, it turned out it was an electrician or handyman who was using a self-built gadget to map where he was working by blowing breakers every time he plugged it into an outlet?

Yeah this. They do have quick released, but you still have to be able to reach them, which given that you are reasonably likely to be injured, can be difficult. Another fun plane story, in which an A-7 Corsair landing at night runs off the deck, and our pilot gets to eject upside down into the water. http://www.ejectionsite.com/eunderh2o.htm

The real sabotage is that the outlets weren't already labeled.
Poor guy already had a lovely job of tracing circuits because the guy who put it in didn't do it, and now he's getting hassled for being the one guy with some initiative.

When I did this after buying my house, I plugged in a light and had to yell to my wife "Did it turn off?" multiplied by every room in the house. A home-made short device to trip the breaker would have been so much faster.

There's a good chance that device could damage the outlets, or break the breakers. It depends on age and type, but some percentage of breakers will fail to reset after being popped. And ya know, a hand held thing that blows a 15 amp circuit might be dangerous to hold.

Two people with radios or cell phones and a light bulb is safer, even though it sucks.

Just plug two vacuum cleaners in and turn them one at once. Transient reactance man.

We have tracing devices at work but them problem is that if you have a ton of wires in a long run of conduit it'll detect the tone on all of the wires. Tracing out unlabeled wires sucks.

Use a radio, and turn it up loud enough to hear it from the breaker room.
