I just had to renew my Occupational safety card and some of the test questions are really dumb. Consider this: Open holes and drops must be secured when necessary. TRUE [ ] FALSE [ ]. It's not strictly true because they must be secured at all times not just when necessary but, then again, it's entirely true because it is necessary to secure open holes and drops at all times. I still don't know which answer they were expecting but I got 33/36 even though in practice I knew everything the test asked about, it's just the questions that were hosed up.

It was an interesting experience. It was from grinding metal. The metal got in my eye when I took my goggles/mask off at the end of the day and some shaving fell off the top of the goggles.

Man, I used to cut brake drums and rotors all the time without wearing safety goggles. I was a real loving dumbass and I thank God every day I didn't manage to mangle myself somehow when I was younger.

It's hard to feel bad about some guy driving his squad into the fireball of an IED when you know they take the same level of care while not nuking north Texas. edit: brake lights might be seen as an indicator to the enemy.

It's never good when one of your employees' accidents makes the news On a positive note our driver was the one of the three who got away uninjured, the equipment wasn't totaled, and we/ he were not found to be at fault. Watch out for overpasses when you're empty in heavy winds!

A couple of days ago I saw a crew of tree surgeons doing some work on the street. One of them was roped up in a tree, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, no kind of safety equipment I could see. I watched as he (rather gracefully, I admit) slowly rotated around on the harness, at one point being almost fully upside-down, using the chainsaw in one hand to lop branches off the tree. I assume this isn't standard practice?

iroc.dis posted: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 Wear your safety glasses.

Taking an online work training course for "Fire extinguisher awareness." It's a lovely animation, Shockwave or Flash or something, with animated employees reading you the guidelines and processes. Third fictitious cartoon employee is an Indian man with a very thick accent, like you'd encounter on a tech support phone line. Okay, yes, coworkers who are Indian males who speak with thick accents aren't unheard of in an engineering environment. But you'd think that clarity and being able to understand the rules would take priority over tokenism.

imo they should just make it illegal to sell food products with certain coloring (neon blue, green and pink would be a good start) and then use those colors deliberately for poisonous liquids.

Memento posted:http://i.imgur.com/OQEcxbX.mp4 The Times reviewed government documents dating back two decades and interviewed dozens of government officials, former military officers and arms control advocates to examine the agency. The picture that emerges is an organization hampered by an insular management, a crisis of morale among the rank-and-file and outdated equipment. Among the findings of the Times investigation: The agency is 48 agents short of its planned staffing of 370, a result of budget cuts. Weapons and tactics classes were canceled in 2011 and 2012 for lack of money. More than a third of the workforce has been putting in more than 900 hours a year of overtime, which former couriers and Energy Department officials say has contributed to a breakdown in morale and rapid turnover. In 2010, an inquiry by the Energy Department’s inspector general inquiry found widespread alcohol problems. It cited 16 alcohol-related incidents over a three-year period, including an agent on a 2007 mission who was arrested for public intoxication and two agents on a 2009 mission who were handcuffed and detained by police after a fight at a bar. In 2014, the commander of the agency’s operation at the Y12 National Security Complex in Tennessee threatened to kill an employee in an altercation, but no disciplinary action was taken. The agency’s top executive in 2009 was charged with drunk driving after police found him parked on a sidewalk with an open bottle of beer and a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.15%, nearly twice the legal limit, according to New Mexico court records. The agency’s truck fleet is antiquated by commercial standards and well past its operational life even under the department’s own guidelines. About half the tractors are more than 15 years old. The high-security trailers used by the agency are even older, designed before the current era of terrorist threats. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-nuclear-couriers-20170310-story.html
