That's taunting fate a bit, using the same hangers as the R101. (which you can read more about in Nebakenezzer's excellent posts in this thread)

Had a 4 hour review of nfpa 70e today. Never going in an mcc room again. I really don't want to be qualified for anything electrical.

(480 or 600 is low, 4160 is medium). I think there is a cheat-sheet section in 70e that gives basic PPE levels for doing different types of work on different equipment and voltages. Not sure if it considered stuff like available fault current and size of upstream sources. It's only a last-resort guide if you don't have arc flash levels calculated.

Sagebrush posted:kreosan are a pair of appliance repair guys whose home village is in a "contested zone" of Ukraine/Crimea. Most of the population evacuated when the shells started landing, but they stuck around and started stealing people's electricity to power their microwave oven experiments. specifically, they live in the luhansk people's republic. they got invited to a russian youtuber's conference in moscow but they have no money because they're unemployed because they live in a literal war zone. so what do you do? hitchhike! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8nmlvsJJnM

Three-Phase posted:Are you talking about low or medium voltage MCCs? (480 or 600 is low, 4160 is medium). We have a lot of 480 and go up to 2300. They are sometimes in the same room. I don't know that we have anything higher. I'm a mechanical guy so it gets out of my wheelhouse real quick. I do know that we have 4 turbine generators and a decent tie line that we pull from all the time, if that helps. We have done an arc flash study and are in the process of getting new stickers on all the buckets. The biggest change is that only qualified electricians will be able to throw breakers from now on. It has been the case that any operator or mechanic could throw one and put a lock on it. Also no more category 0. Which is a good thing because it was giving me a false sense of security when I was looking at the lineups.

Oh wow, one of our technicians who has a form of electrician licence (not sure) was tasked today to go join the merry OSHA clowns down at the gas facility to tag and test all appliances etc. He questioned that his licence only allows him to do X type of gear (I have no idea the specifics, just over heard the conversation). It went something like: Boss: Go tag and test all the things over at gas facility 1! Tech: What equipment am I testing? Boss: *lists a heap of stuff* Tech: Hmm, I can't do A, B and C devices. Also that is a hazardous zone that I cannot enter without further training and safety inductions. Boss: You'll be right mate, who is gonna know? Tech: Well with each tag having my licence number on it, and the fact that the governing body is doing a site wide inspection and this is the reason for the testing, they will know. Boss: DO IT! Tech: OK Tech wanders off and an hour returns and just says 'NO' Good tech, you get a treat. Of course the office staff all started a bitch storm about him for slacking off and being lazy. Zev posted:We have done an arc flash study and are in the process of getting new stickers on all the buckets. A few years ago I was developing a training package video for a mine on Arc Flash situations. drat the suits we have to wear here are heavy as gently caress. Also screw the lead electrician for tripping some switches on purpose as I was in the breaker room doing some establishing shots. The noise of the breakers nearly made me poo poo myself.

If I worked legal for that company I would be walking around that office with a (OSHA-approved) mallet. It's like people don't understand what "liability" is. Being technically in the wrong is more than sufficient to lose a lawsuit.

Nice piece of fish posted:Christ. If I worked legal for that company I would be walking around that office with a (OSHA-approved) mallet. Yeah the office staff including owners daughter spend most of their day bitching about everyone else who isn't in earshot. Any stuff up or delay is made into a form of public shaming. I know at least 3 techs are going to quit over their games (sending techs on jobs they aren't qualified for and crying to daddy that they won't do their job). I drunkenly txted my manager on saturday that I was on the verge of quitting this shithole. His reply? "You and be both mate, see you tuesday." Remember, our ownership/management of the gas facility was stripped off the owner by the government. We just do the labour force contract now. This changes NOTHING as it's the same idiots in the same role they had before. Just more red tape they can gently caress with. I mentioned in another thread that I checked the 'killzone' radius if poo poo hits the fan at that facility, and my home is just on the border of obliterated and recoverable body. EDIT: I used to develop our version of OSHA videos for the mining industry. It sure is fun having the rules ingrained into my subconscious. EDIT to that edit: That also included being sent into 3rd world countries under a tourist visa while all our film gear was smuggled in via the client company freight ship just to save a few bucks on 'entertainment visa' vs 'tourist visa' Humphreys fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Oct 6, 2016 |

If they're under increased supervision, wouldn't reporting that poo poo attract an unending shitstream? Why he gently caress risk it?

Ak Gara posted:Funny thing, wood welding via friction is actually a thing! I don't know if I would trust it to hold up, though. What's going on is that the surface fibers are breaking apart and tangling together, and the heat buildup melts the lignin. As it cools the lignin resolidifies so you've basically got an adhesive matrix surrounding a tangle of fibers. It's apparently good enough for interior fittings but can't really handle environmental exposure.
