Just got done processing and sending home a dude who broke his collar bone 3 hours ago. He was closing a heavy bay door and slipped. He was wearing all his PPE and doing what he was supposed to, so he's getting paid time off and norcos as a reward. Wear your protective equipment, people.

So you're saying if he didn't have his gear he might be dead.

No, but when he was pushing the door, he slipped on the gravel and fell. Since he was wearing the approved safety shoes for his position and related tasks, nobody in management can try to ratfuck him afterwards and defer the costs and fault to him.

I work for the federal govt and they give us a 150 dollar credit to buy safety shoes yearly. Everyone has really good ones. On another note, I already had one supervisor come sniffing around asking if the guy looked hurt when he came to work today because his injury happened only an hour into his shift. LOL management.

Correct me if my guess is wrong, but wasn't that dude completely hosed and dead pretty much instantly so it wouldn't have been worth even trying?

At that voltage level and resultant current flow he was literally cooked. We're talking about massive internal damage that even if surprised could be extremely hard to treat. When you see his body emitting smoke and then bursting into flames the guy is way past any hope. Also he was probably in excruciating pain the whole time until he lost consciousness at some point probably in part due to respiratory paralysis and fibrillation.

If he got free after a second and had someone perform CPR and was lucky, yeah he could have survived contact with high voltage.

And when you're at levels like 10kV, dangerous current can easily flow through wood. You need fiberglass poles made to work at those high voltages.

One last thing - concrete actually conducts electricity.

With enough voltage, even vacuum will conduct electricity.

Dry concrete (like, really dry, baked-in-a-kiln dry) is electrically a decent insulator, albeit not great. Stuff out in the environment that's been rained on recently or is still curing sure ain't. Even stuff that's completely cured and has dried off on the surface has a conductivity similar to pure water (not very conductive, but nowhere near as good an insulator as glass or rubber). And that's without even considering the rebar.

God drat, that's a helluva boot stipend! $150 a year, wow. I bought a second pair of those Red Wings I posted yesterday because we got $100 every two years so why not pick up another pair? Tossed the old ones (previously pictured) in the closet because I wanted the same thing but wider and figured the old ones would outlast that benefit program. Company got bought out and shut down: I've still got the boots.

150 dollars a year and no lawsuits over foot injury is probably cheaper than multiple million dollar lawsuits after people step on Heroin needles or rebar on site, or drop a piece of steel sheet straight onto the edge of their foot. It's like how stopping people smoking is geeberally more affordable then testing the resulting lung cancer.

I get new safety shoes every other year from work but there's not a set limit or anything I just buy the ones I want because I'll be wearing them 8 hours every week-day it's pretty essential they feel comfy on my feet. Welp maybe you guys should consider unionizing or something god bless.

If they had to do a emergency quench (which is almost never), they vent all the He at once and that can cost millions of dollars to recover the system after one of those. Plus there's the whole suffocation risk as the air is displaced by all that He.
Every single MRI install I've seen has an outdoor vent line for precisely that reason.

So, just how much hyrostatic pressure is likely to be on those plywood sheets?

Just watched this on youtube and it's the first of his videos I really took issue with.

Furze plays pretty hard and loose with best safety procedures, but he's also a very smart and skilled builder. Most of the time.

This one was just dumb. Two guys alone on a beach with some plywood and spades and absolutely nothing in place in case poo poo went sideways.

Watch around 4:20 - 6:50 when they're trying to add a second layer of load bearing plywood and the sand walls are collapsing all around him. 3 metres down and no way out - they didn't even bring a ladder for gently caress's sake.

It's not really the people who can make it to the exits you're worried about. It's little bed-bound timmy whose parents will sue the poo poo outta you, or just one day walk into your C-suite offices and start throwing lead.

At work we have circuit breakers rated for 5kV to around 40kV that have contacts inside of vacuum bottles. It's not an absolutely perfect vacuum but on the lower end voltages like 4160V they can interrupt like 20,000A of current (nominal flow of 1200A). They are simple and extremely reliable. (I am proposing to retrofit/replace older breakers with newer and even more mechanically simple systems like the ABB AMVAC and ADVAC roll-in retrofits.)

There are warnings about PM testing of vacuum interrupter bottles - if you apply a high test voltage across the contacts with them close together but not touching you can generate hazardous amounts of x-rays.
