The Hambulance posted:Do you work in Oxnard? Nah, we're not that bad. Unlike Haas, we've never had a literal software setting to completely disable the door interlocks, no password or warning required. There was no visible indicator that the interlock is overridden, so more than once I was shocked to find machines that wouldn't stop if I cracked the door. They got rid of that on newer machines, but as of two years ago they still didn't have interlocks on the side door panels. Hell, it's designed to run with them open if your part is too long to fit in the enclosure. No problem going to 12000 rpm with those open. And the main door interlocks can still be overridden with a magnet.

HEY NONG MAN posted:This is a weird way of saying "I was wrong." but I'll take it. Proteus Jones posted:Danger close is not nearly as obscure as you seem to think it is. "Danger close" is an unacceptable comparison to make to "near miss" screw you guys. Not only are we talking complete structural disconnect, "danger close" isn't even common enough to show up in dictionaries, puts it on about the same footing as the word "anypony" re: whether it belongs in respectable conversation. Why on earth it was brought up at all is a mystery to me unless someone's getting off telling everyone how much they should know about jargon related to "close air support, artillery, mortar, and naval gunfire support fires" which i guess if you have no funny pictures to post is all you got. An example without its cock up its mouth might be: "near miss" works the same way as "close shave", which means the same thing and is used about as often. Or "belay on" is also grammatically backwards and inapplicable outside of climbing, but at least a regular person might have heard or said it once.

Explosionface posted:Ladder logic is probably the most common way to program PLCs. They also have function block and structured text ("real programming") forms that you may be able to use interchangeably. Sometimes functions are only available in one manner, more or less forcing a routine into one form over another. Newer stuff allows you to combine ladder with things like structured text and function blocks. Ladder logic is still very useful because it's very easy to program and understand. The problems is that as you want to do more complicated stuff it can get clumsy. Also with some of the software you can make changes while the system is live, not turning the PLC into PROGRAM mode, programming, and then back to RUN mode, but you have to be extremely careful. Also there are companies that aren't using PLCs as much and are more working with Distributed Control Systems, or DCS. If you have a small factory and a couple of standalone machines or a small assembly line, PLCs work great. If you are running an oil refinery, public utility, or power plant, you will have some PLCs but also a larger DCS network. We're talking about combining:

Why would "danger close" be in a dictionary when it is a two word phrase? It is used extensively in the military and military action movies so it isn't that obscure. Pilots officially use near miss which completely overrides your objections. It's just one of those English things that have an exception with a meaning that is based on the context it exist within.

near miss means a miss that was close as opposed to a far miss, not that it nearly missed.

"Near miss" isn't an idiom, it's just ambiguous as said/written. It means a miss that was close to being a hit, but it could've ended up meaning a hit that was nearly a miss. It didn't though. Please don't use it that way. We don't want to lose it like we lost "literally"

every niosh face report is a frozen tragedy, analyzed from every direction, pinned in place with needles of protocol, fixing it to the backing board by the steps that could have been taken to prevent a worker''s death. dozens of tragedies lain side by side, neatly categorized, in a table, assigned numbers. no written safety protocols. no guardrails. inadequate training. safety interlocks disabled. no confined space permit. inadequate breathing apparatus. no incident management procedure. the worker was told by his boss to ignore procedure in order to save time. the worker climbed into the machine to free the mechanism. over and over and over again, the same deaths play out in different and novel and hideous ways, taking a new life each time. NIOSH does what it can, and in the end, that is figuring out what went wrong, and tweeting photos of incident areas, cleaned off enough to make them palatable, with cordoned off machines that tore a man to shreds, and spaces in which a man took his final, toxic breath. https://twitter.com/NIOSHFACE/status/902966903295049728 https://twitter.com/NIOSHFACE/status/901063611602264066

Are they saying some dummies trapped a dude in a tank of isopentane? i pulled sections out of the report for effect. the can is a pipe set in the ground, 2 feet wide and 24 feet deep, which usually has a commpresor mounted on top. they unmounted it, took a piece of insulation off it and set it on top of the hole in the ground, and covered that with two boards. someone took the boards. later, a night-shift worker stepped on the insulation.

Is it really a great mystery who took the boards? poo poo idiot pump-removers steal boards from scaffolding, scaffolding dudes are all "where the gently caress are our boards? oh wait some poo poo idiot put them there" and take them back.
