Dat's Pussy Trap, bitch!

Deal with it.
Also, I found a thingie on the woman who was scalped.

http://www.ohio.com/news/break-news/norton-woman-s-scalp-torn-from-head-in-accident-at-barberton-parts-maker-1.317964

EDIT: To clarify, I'd mentioned a woman who was scalped at my factory some time ago. Earlier in the thread.

"The machine ripped Thayer’s scalp from just above her eyebrows backward toward her neck. Writhing in pain, her mother said, Thayer pleaded for co-workers to cut her loose. It wasn’t until paramedics arrived that she was freed. Thayer was then taken by helicopter to Akron General, which is just a short distance away by ambulance."

My wife had to take a hair follicle test to be employed beyond a spa attendant. Some companies are nucking futs.

I had to do one of those, but I was running a tobacco store unsupervised, so I could kind of understand it. Thing is, they didn't tell me about it until I was already on the job for two weeks. I told my district manager straight up that I smoke weed after work and I'm not gonna pass it. He says he'd send back the sample empty to buy me a few weeks of "probation" to decide if he could trust me. A few months later I asked whatever happened with that drug test, and he said he just sent his hair in instead. Best boss ever.

This reminds me of the papermachine death someone posted earlier in the thread. That guy went QUICK!

"A 51-year-old Barberton woman died of injuries suffered in an industrial accident Monday evening.

Wendy Breiding, an employee of PPG Industries in Barberton, died about 8:30 p.m. after becoming entangled in a paper rolling machine, the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office said Tuesday."

Yep that's the place, I think I remember the grey market smokes thing too. My biggest legal hassle was not getting busted selling to minors working with the cops.

It was a great job and a terrible one at the same time.

Random drug testing isn't typically allowed, but it is in the mines and oil fields. Also you can be drug tested if you gently caress up hard enough around heavy equipment/commercial trucks. And places can require you to take a drug test as a condition of employment. All of this applies to heavy equipment related industries, I have no idea what it's like outside of that, but I've never heard of like a retail or office worker being drug tested for basically any reason.

Yeah, a big part of that is that the Human Rights Council takes it very seriously :

quote:

If drug and alcohol testing policies and programs discriminate against people based on addictions or perceived addictions, they may be justifiable if an employer can show that testing provisions are bona fide (legitimate) requirements of the job. However, employers should take a proactive approach to workplace drug and alcohol testing. Where these policies are necessary to achieve safety, employers should design them to avoid potential discriminatory impacts. Following the test for bona fide requirements laid out by the Supreme Court of Canada, policies should be:
  1. Adopted for a purpose that is rationally connected to performing the job
  2. Adopted in an honest and good faith belief that it is necessary to fulfilling that legitimate work-related purpose
  3. Reasonably necessary to accomplish that legitimate work-related purpose. To show this, the employer must demonstrate that it is impossible to accommodate the person without imposing undue hardship upon the employer.
A drug and alcohol testing policy that respects human rights and may be justifiable under the Code is one that:
  • Is based on a rational connection between the purpose of testing (minimizing the risk of impairment to ensure safety) and job performance
  • Shows that testing is necessary to achieve workplace safety
  • Is put in place after alternative, less intrusive methods for detecting impairment and increasing workplace safety have been explored
  • Is used only in limited circumstances, such as for-cause, post-incident or post-reinstatement situations
  • Does not apply automatic consequences following positive tests
  • Does not conflate substance use with substance addiction
  • Is used as part of a larger assessment of drug or alcohol addiction (for example, employee assistance programs, drug education and awareness programs and a broader medical assessment by a professional with expertise in substance use disorders or physician that provides a process for inquiring into possible disability)
  • Provides individualized accommodation for people with addictions who test positive, to the point of undue hardship
  • Uses testing methods that are highly accurate, able to measure current impairment, are minimally intrusive and provide rapid results
  • Uses reputable procedures for analysis, and
  • Ensures confidentiality of medical information and the dignity of the person throughout the process.

So, yes, you can do it but almost nobody does because even a positive test without suspicion or proof of impairment can land you right in the supreme court which is not somewhere any employer wants to be. Like I said, obviously someone driving a 400t mining truck is gonna be tested but almost anybody else will basically never be subject to it. In fact I don't think I know anyone who's been tested in Canada and that includes some of my family up in Timmins who work in the mines (mostly in a white collar position) and a lot of guys I've worked in warehouses with and stuff. Unless something serious happens and the company wants to pin liability on someone who was inebriated it's quite rare.

Gyms are private and have the right to refuse service for any reason that aren't disciminatory. We had a big problem with steroids in the 80s and 90s, so gyms tend to take a pretty hard stance against anyone they suspect of steroid abuse.

You can be subject to employee drug testing in Sweden, but pre-emptive testing is generally only done in certain employments which carries a high risk of third party injury (heavy machinery / power plant operation and the like). Random or post-incident testing has to be approved by employee's union, either on a case by case basis or by blanket approval for said high risk employments.

I wonder... if they had the right lenses so the beam stayed the same diameter for a few hundred meters, could you cut steel apart at 100m (500m, 1km+ even maybe?) as easily as at the distances shown in the video? Although I suppose that's the basics behind the 747 mounted icbm killer laser... Fun stuff.
