Walking into a grain bin to clear a stuck crust or a jam in the output is like working in an unshored ditch, or running a sugar or flour mill with a lot of suspended particles in the air. The fact that some people survive it doesn't mean it's a good or safe thing to do.

Too painful.

Some models have slots for forklifts to load and unload them from trucks. There are no boom lifts that are acceptable to use while suspended in the air on a forklift. It's double OSHA because its also unsafe to put that kind of load on a forklift. Even if it's within the acceptable weight range, the center of gravity of the load is nowhere close to where it should be.

Oh man they did the Prometheus thing where they ran parallel to the falling object instead of getting out of its path.


Edit:

quote:

In Brisbane, two construction workers have died a terrible death, crushed by a nine-tonne concrete panel. They had no means of escape as the panel crashed down, caught at the bottom of a pit, with no emergency exit and nowhere to run.

The panels were being erected without a safe work method statement. Elementary precautions were absent. In fact, anyone wanting to design a way to kill people could simply follow this procedure.

Their workmates saw them die. The horror will never leave them. They will carry the image and memory of this disaster until their own dying day.

There are huge lightpoles at the highway interchanges here where they can lower the whole top part of the light like lowering a flag - then relamp it at ground level and raise it again.

My work has an electronic ___ days since an OSHA reportable accident, it's almost up to 1000 days!

When someone has an OSHA reportable accident they just get fired and that electronic ticker keeps on tickin'.

I wonder what kind of raise my boss will get when it hits 1000.

The safer way to do this is to use permanent magnets strong enough to hold you up, then use electromagnets to momentarily create an equal and opposite field to cancel them so you can reposition.

Most people (even in industries where they are essential for everyday operations) seem to think pallets grow on trees. "Why are the pallets on the invoice - I didn't order pallets just the 4000 kg of stuff on them!" Burning intact pallets is really stupid both economically and ecologically.

it costs so much more to ship pallets back from most places that $10,000 pallet disassembly machines exist.

the same can be said for 40 foot shipping containers outside of costal areas with a port.
