Never quite understood why 'engineering out the hazard' didn't result in wall mounted lights in stairwells, rather than hoping whomever turns up to change a tube has the right flavour of ladder to do the job safely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou7xd6TLUaM for content. I think that the only people tied off are on the ground waiting for the mortuary van. IPCRESS fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Aug 9, 2017 |

They also make eye protection for when some doofus manages to trip over his own feet, shatter a halogen bulb against the housing, and rain slivers of glass from two or three stories up, while said doofus stares at it.

boner confessor posted:the better way to reduce fatalities would be to crack down harder on bad/impaired driving and encourage alternatives to driving but in the united states we've kind of painted ourselves into a corner by creating a built environment that practically requires a car to navigate, which is why we've had such a massive hardon for self driving cars for 70+ years and counting - we can't imagine giving up cars so we have to pray for the machine god to save us from driving them

throw to first drat IT posted:There was some noise about converting CO2 straight into ethanol about year ago, don't know if anything came out of it since then. Far easier to store than hydrogen. Probably easier to burn too. That's nice and all but I'm better at consuming alcohol than producing it.

fatman1683 posted:I may be in the minority here, but I think algae-based biodiesel is the best option for a carbon-neutral motor fuel for the foreseeable future. It can be grown from wastewater on otherwise-unusable land, or it could even be grown on the open ocean, consumes atmospheric CO2 to make hydrocarbons, and doesn't consume valuable food-growing resources. I'm really disappointed that more work isn't being done in this area. No I agree, I've actually been a horrible self-induced reading hole about petroleum chemistry because I want to know more about this poo poo. Just trying to understand what gasoline actually is is a nightmare.

Someone falling because they didn't have the right ladder to replace the bulb costs someone else money in the future. Moist von Lipwig posted:Jesus I didn't know it was that bad even at 45nm lmao We really should be using ECC-type memory in nearly every application at this point. Many studies show that soft error rates are several orders of magnitude higher than we previously thought. I worked on 80nm dram and 51nm flash. The error maps that came out of electronic testing as A-OK were pretty lol.

I'm an attorney and do quite a bit of OSHA compliance work, including contesting citations. A few were improper hazard identification or failure to guard (e.g., someone cleaning up stuff and gets zapped). Most are sheer laziness/stupidity--working on live equipment--that could arguably be traced to improper or inadequate training. IMO, the most helpful thing is to not have guys working solo or having supervisors confirm compliance. Second is having a corporate culture that embraces safety standards. Hokey as it sounds, it makes a difference. As this thread has observed, it's forklifts and electricity that'll kill someone.

I have a light in a location similar to that in my new house. Except without the handy ledges. Not sure yet how I'm going to change the bulb, but I have to because it's a CFL and won't match the rest which I'm swapping to LED and I have crippling OCD. e: I guess a claw hand but I'm not sure how easy it'll be because the bulb thats in there is one of those curly glass CFLs and I'll be replacing it with a BR40. bird with big dick fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Aug 9, 2017 |

That one could actually work very well and be safe if it weren't that a) all the stress in on a handrail that probably held in place witha couple of blobs of glue and b) that hinge in the middle of the ladder - one bump from someone downstairs and it folds up in a catastrophic manner

I can't quite tell but it doesn't seem like the top of the ladder is leaning against anything nor does it seem bottom of the ladder is against the wall under the railing so I want to know what they used to brace that, and what they tied it to.
