Former Hanford doctor ‘under duress' to disregard worker safety http://www.king5.com/news/local/hanford/former-hanford-doctor-under-duress-to-disregard-worker-safety/405358477 "In the mid-2000s, the subject of keeping workers safe from beryllium was a hot topic. The metal was used at Hanford in non-sparking tools and processes used to produce plutonium. It is one of the most hazardous metals on the planet, and some workers become allergic to it or contract a life-threatening disease called Chronic Beryllium Disease. The condition is an incurable lung disease that can cause a person’s health to decline over several years. It can affect not only a person’s lungs, but can also damage a person’s heart, nervous system, and mental health, as well as liver and kidney function. After a worker would be diagnosed with an allergic reaction to beryllium, a condition called beryllium sensitivity, experts say best practice is to keep them away from beryllium to the greatest extent possible. “It takes a seemingly trivial amount of beryllium to cause this disease,” said Dr. Lee Newman of the University of Colorado Denver. “So if you’re not being as strict as possible in controlling the exposures, it’s, unfortunately, easy for someone to be overexposed.”

Lime Tonics posted:Former Hanford doctor ‘under duress' to disregard worker safety We have some beryllium stuff at work and the training for it is insane. I'll never be anywhere close to the stuff, but because it's on site everyone has to do the training. I see the occasional bagged item, usually they are solid items that just have beryllium as part of their metal, but they still end up double bagged and covered in huge warning labels. You can only put them in certain places too, which are well marked as beryllium zones. Some parts of the machine have to be cleaned after every experiment. This means, essentially, that some guys suit up and use angle grinders to get all the bullshit off the machine, which can include beryllium. I do not envy them.

Memento posted:There's no such thing as an "accidental discharge". The term that article needs is negligent discharge. Guns don't go off unless you pull the trigger, unless they are so poorly maintained that they can go off if you drop them, which means it's negligent to be loading them in the first place. He's a police sniper so I'm going to assume a certain level of firearm competence in regards to knowing his rifle is broken to the point when it could go off from being dropped. So that idiot either had his finger on the trigger, or let it get caught on something sticking out, but either way the rifle going off is 100% his fault. "Attempted murder". By even loading it or pointing it at someone he accepted responsibility for their deaths.

Lutha Mahtin posted:ninja edits You caught me, but it’a not because I don’t know that the eighteenth century comprises A.D. 1701–A.D. 1800. The Royal Navy did in fact have issues with galvanic corrosion in the seventeenth century. They wrapped the bottom of the ships in lead to protect the wood from the Worm [sic], but then the (iron‐fastened) rudders fell off. The thing is, they didn’t know why. The naval board just said “stop using lead” because they knew the problem didn’t occur on unleaded ships. “Lead-sheathing exceeds all that ever went before it, namely, its durableness, a Vice of much worse consequence to the health of a Ship, than all it pretends to do, and does against the Worm, can make amends for.” Austal’s seventeenth century counterpart had some spirited defence of their product. They don’t know “whatever occult or corroding Quality there may lye conceal'd in the Mill’d‐Lead Sheathing, in respect of the Ruddar‐Irons”, but they want their business back and fifteen years later they’re still printing three‐thousand‐word diatribes about how unjust it is that the navy ain’t buying. I decided that it was unfair to say the issue was recognised in the seventeenth century—it had been encountered, but was not understood. Only with Alarm did experiments resume, leading to the realisation that the problem was caused by contact between dissimilar metals. So I changed the reference to the Alarm but initially neglected to change the text. TL;DR: Austal is the latest in a proud history of inept defence contractors, but they’re centuries out‐of‐date with their excuses.

Keiya posted:"Attempted murder". By even loading it or pointing it at someone he accepted responsibility for their deaths. Attempted murder requires actual intent to kill someone. Cops point loaded weapons at people they're not currently intending to kill every day, that's not attempted murder. NDing and putting a round into someone is a crime of negligence, not intent. In most US states it'd be at least a pretty serious misdemeanor if not a felony, but it's not attempted murder.

FCKGW posted:holy poo poo everything in this article Hoooo leeeee shiiit When I was in school I once found at a hardware store these teeny little circular saw blades, about the size of a quarter and like .010" thick, with tiny teeth and a hole sized to be mounted on a Dremel abrasive cut-off wheel arbor. I thought "hey, cool, this'll be great for cutting little bits of plastic" and bought them. Mounted one up on the Dremel a few days later, started sawing through some styrene sheet, and after a couple of minutes the thing suddenly jammed on a blob of melted plastic, kicked out of the cut, and bounced off the fingernail of my left middle finger. I was startled and shut it off. Didn't feel anything. Looked closely at my finger, and halfway up the nail, there was a perfect .010" slice from side to side, juuuust deep enough to touch the nail bed. A drop of blood started to well up as I watched. I superglued the fingernail shut, took the saw blade out, and never used them again. Anyway, if the absurdly dangerous Dremel tool that nearly sliced off the end of my finger was one of those little lizards that scoots around in the desert, the tool linked above is Godzilla.

Dremels are really useful and versatile, but gee whiz does that same versatility make them dangerous. A big high speed motor that accepts basically anything as a bit, that you hold in your hand. We would laugh our asses off at anyone stupid enough to build something like that as a one off, but it's not like the mass produced tool has any safety features.

Doc Hawkins posted:We're probably on schedule to forget how to prevent scurvy again. We don't need to forget how to prevent scurvy, we can actively deny it. I remember in the old low carb thread in W&W there was one guy who decided eating plants at all was unnecessary for good health - fatty meat is all you need. Apparently Eskimos can go 10 months of the year on an all-meat diet and they don't die of scurvy, so as long as you have a 0 carb diet your body can synthesize vitamin C from fat. Sailors got scurvy not because they went months without eating plants, but because the dried meat they ate wasn't fatty enough, and also because the carb-rich hardtack short circuited the fat-to-vitamin C synthesis somehow.  That thread was a wild ride.

You’d be okay if you ate raw meat. After all, animals need ascorbic acid in their bodies as much as we do. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Mar 1, 2017 |

Facebook Aunt posted:We don't need to forget how to prevent scurvy, we can actively deny it. The Inuit have been studied very extensively because they survive despite being in areas with extremely little plant-based food (mostly just some roots and moss they can occasionally find, often by taking from rodent burrows) and living almost exclusively off animal products. In the 19th and early 20th century there was a belief among some anthropologists that they had stumbled upon some super diet that revolutionized nutrition forever. Turns out the only reason this is possible is because the Inuit have spent so long living in this area that they've evolved abnormally large livers and very high urine volume; their livers perform gluconeogenesis to break down proteins to compensate for the lack of carbohydrates in their diet, and extra urea has to be produced to purge the waste products caused by this. They also get their Vitamin C because they consume foods like kelp, liver, brain, and whale skin raw or frozen and thus get the nutrients that would ordinarily be lost by cooking.
