Having protective footwear or all your toes is non-traditional.

Yeah, there's a thousand and 1 ways hew a beam but in the end someone's notching a log and shaving off what's left. The lack of ppe probably comes down to the state of traditional Japanese footwear and trying to keep balance on the curved edge of the log.

I don't think the lack of shoes really matters, as I'm not sure if there are any shoes made that will stop an axe blow. Even steel toes can crumple under the force of an axe blade, not to mention the steel toe causing an axe to glance off and just injure another part of the foot.

Elysiume posted:Is it similar to the feeling of fiberglass insulation, but more skewed to pain rather than discomfort? I'm not actually sure if fiber optic cables are fiberglass. Where I work we have very short (under a meter) fiber runs between clusters of IO devices within a cabinet that use a plastic fiber to interconnect. For all the other runs (hundreds of feet) we use HCS (hard-clad silica) fiber. It's not particularly fast data transfer, a couple of megabits per second. The electricians have to be careful because the pull strength is fairly limited for fiber cables - pull too hard through conduit and they crack. We sometimes place the fiber within a flexible tube to better protect it.

I found this article about how the first radiation survey meter came about https://www.orau.org/ptp/collection/surveymeters/introtosurveymeters.htm tl;dr - a radioactive source goes missing, a scientist rigs up a bunch of gear to be semi-portable and searches for it, finds it in a worker's locker in the pocket of a shirt, when said worker is contacted it turns out he has a burn from the front of his chest through to his back due to the source sitting in his pocket against his chest for a while the real osha part is that the guy apparently thought that the burn wasn't worth reporting edit: quote:"It got him right through the heart . . . those were the days of the wild west."

I've been talking to engineers at work on how future motors and generators might be superconducting and have cryogenically cooled stators (the outside electrical bit that doesn't move*) and rotors (the spinny electrical bit). So now you could get electrocuted, arc-flashed, and frozen. Possibly at the same time so maybe at least the latter two will cancel each other out. * - if the stator is significantly moving something is very very wrong

On the plus side we don't see the stator... maybe the stator IS ok at least! Nothing a little dry ice blasting can't clean up. Give it a megger test and everything will be as right as rain.

Construction crew in Portland nicked a gas line. Before:  After:  http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2016/10/portland_firefighters_respondi_3.html Thankfully people reacted to the gas leak and GTFO before it ignited and the only fatality appears to have been a cat that lived in one of the shops.

Does anyone have the link to the "Zip Line of Death" that this goon was making? I think they crunched the numbers and it ran at over 60MPH instead of 15. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Oct 24, 2016 |
