Well, turns out the employee that was fired decided to go to our version of OSHA to report the poo poo out of our company. We got a visit yesterday informing we would have an inspection at 0830 today. I was sure we would be hosed, even bought popcorn to watch it unfold. But it looks like management burned the midnight oil getting everything into spec including safety vests, signage, every single fire extinguisher tested (which havent been tested for a few years), filing cabinet hiding fire hose reel and one particular piece of machinery no where to be found. By the time I turned up to work it was a new company! Even a First Aid Kit (for those that don't remember I tore the poo poo out of my hands and drove myself to a chemist and bought my own kit a few months ago)! Good on them for getting up to spec before the announced time. It's sad it had to come to a being reported officially. I quite enjoyed the call from the OSHA inspecter saying they would be now arriving at 1430. The look on the management team who had obvisouly busted their rear end overnight to get poo poo right was great. You could see the look in their eyes "I could have gone home and not be tired today". Alls well that ends well though. EDIT: The owner of the company waving goodbye to the inspector then immediately blindly walking into an area requiring highvis was perfect. If the inspector had just turned around to look where they were... Humphreys fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Mar 9, 2017 |

shame on an IGA posted:Why yes, CCl will start a plutonium-chlorine fire if it gets too hot. Safety procedure: Don't do that. Anything containing hydrogen atoms creates a criticality hazard and volatile solvents are preferred because why worry about filtering plutonium out of gallons of whatever when you can just let it evaporate from a one-pass open loop? All of these are the best way to do this work so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Qwijib0 posted:if the goal is in fact increased safety, rather than handing out fines, mission accomplished. More broadly whether its through the government or insurance, the costs of safety should be socialized to add a price to doing something wrong the first 99 times to discourage you from losing the safety lottery that 100th time, and if you do lose that lottery you have that socialized pot ready to pay out to the injured parties. With the goal being to avoid losing that safety lottery by doing things right so someone can use that socialized money for safety research or deferred directly to safety operating costs instead of payouts so you can get maximum worth from your safety dollar instead of flushing it down the toilet in civil suits. Sort of better hazcom than sharpie on it tbh.

Memento posted:http://i.imgur.com/OQEcxbX.mp4 This isn't a nuclear transport convoy, it's just an air force convoy. It probably has parts for ICBMs or some other sensitive equipment but the air force doesn't have authority to move nuclear material, that belongs to the NNSA (the largest part of the DoE budget) and their trucks look different than that.

Ok, didn't know that. I mean, the Air Force does have authority to move nuclear weapons, but only in very strict circumstances involving authorisation from the president, secretary of state, and joint chiefs. Listening to the new Hardcore History podcast ("The Destroyer of Worlds") and Carlin throws loving tons of shade at the American electorate during the second half. He goes on like a 9-minute lecture about how electing the US president is one of the biggest responsibilities in the world, how you're handing this terrible power to one person etc etc how this is something to consider soberly and rationally.

I just caught this a few days ago. It's a really good listen, especially on the heels of Eric Schlosser's Command & Control, which was one of Carlin's sources.

If you're going to dump it illegally, make sure it can't be traced back to you. Like leaving a letter with your name on it at the bottom of a trash pile.

Kibayasu posted:Don't you pretty much never want to actually induce vomiting? Or is that to maybe protect the first aider from sticking their hand down the throat of someone potentially random. The "do not induce vomiting" warning is usually on things that are either corrosive (so they'd burn your throat and mouth on the way up as well as down) or things that are more dangerous to inhale than swallow (for instance, drinking heavy oils will usually just give you diarrhea but inhaling them can cause life-threatening pneumonia). Most cleaners and industrial chemicals fall into one of those categories. With other poisons, and in most cases of drug overdose, getting the chemical out is more helpful. Even so, a lot of the time the poison control will tell you to wait for the EMTs to pump the victim's stomach or fill them with charcoal because it's safer than any of the home strategies.

It’s not just a brand name. Next y’all are going to correct me for using “till”. …which is older than “until”. “Until” was formed from “und” + “till”. All three words mean precisely the same thing. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Mar 10, 2017 |

InediblePenguin posted:I'm sorry, what This is how most of these situations go. A shard of metal (usually from grinding) gets in the person's eye at the end of the day. The person ignores it, doesn't report it to medical, and goes home for the day. From what I've been told, it only takes an eye a few hours to heal over a shard of metal. So the next morning when the person wakes up, its irritated. Person reports to medical. Medical sends them off site to an eye doctor. Eye doctor has to use some sort of drill to get into the eye so they can pull the shard out. There is some other stuff they have to do if its been in there long enough

You know, ideally I'd like all our machinery to work properly all the time, but the next best thing happened today. They finally broke down and paid a decent sum to fly a company expert in to fix a machine. He worked on it all day, called back the in-house maintenance staff to review the work, and then turned to us saying "There you go guys, all fixed!" The machine then promptly alarmed and printed out and error code basically saying "This thing hosed up".
