Snowglobe of Doom posted:This thread has given me a strong apprehension towards forklifts that borders on paranoia. At work the other day a guy from a neighboring factory was helping us move some stuff with his forklift and some of our workers were just strolling along behind him as he was picking stuff up and turning around and backing up and I was all I work around forklifts and a bunch of guys who know how to use forklifts properly and safely, and even so every time I see a moving forklift I prepare myself as if the operator is blind, retarded, and also actively intending to drive it into me.

Don't walk so close to the forklift you idiots!!

As someone who drives a forklift regularly and does his best to keep safe, and then watches some of the other people that drive that thing, yeah, that's a good way to prepare yourself. There's been a few times when I've surprised by someone coasting past me in an electric forklift because they didn't bother beeping the horn as they drove.

Given the video itself I suppose the other thing to remember about more heavy duty forklifts is that your rear end, no matter how fat, isn't going to hold down poo poo if the backend wants to go up. Impossible to know what the counterweight in that lift actually was I guess (and it looked like a short but sudden drop of the front end played a part too) but the forklift I use was smaller than that one and has a 5,000 lb counterweight. Assuming they could even fit I could add maybe another fifth of that weight if every other employee we have around regularly climbed aboard. If a forklift is moving at all in literally any direction, whether that's a direction it should be moving in or not, there is basically nothing you can do to stop it.. Stay away from forklifts in motion or lifting things, people.

That's what I don't get. Did they just not have ANY training? Do they not know that their piddly 300lbs hasn't got poo poo on a 2500 ton forklift. christ.

That weight is also why you don't gently caress with forklifts and stay in the driver's seat if it starts tipping. Whatever body part it falls on is getting turned to pulp.

It's impossible to not sound like a dick saying this but given the language characters in the video date/time stamps I'd would say that its pretty likely no one involved had any proper training about forklifts beyond the lifting part at all.

I think that most people without training simply don't have an appreciation of just how heavy forklifts are. I certainly didn't, I only figured it out in my previous job a few years back when I was walking through the warehouse at the end of the day and on a whim I stood with one foot in that little hole in the back of the counterweight. In my mind I was picturing there would be similar give to the back end of a car and I'd bounce off it and continue on my way. When I felt that thing refuse to move a millimeter I realised it was something I didn't ever want to gently caress around with at all.

Kennel posted:Plus it's very easy to make stupid decisions in split-second situations. Of course, I can hardly fault someone for something like that, but that's not the part I mean. Proper training for everyone there would have meant there wasn't anyone near that forklift, much less on the back of it.

Anybody here whose facility doesn't have these projector lights on their forklifts, shake your EHS dudes by the collar until they get some. Best thing ever, I get a bright blue spot of approaching death on the floor 30' ahead in both directions E: Also, I watched a truck driver almost kill himself this week by popping the dock lock with his brakes released and then running around the front of his runaway 18 wheeler to jump in the cab ... while I was dealing the aftermath of a 200KW air compressor electrical fire which turned into an explosion once the oil cooler melted shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Oct 15, 2017 |

The projectors are just unbelievably effective, they were mandated for all moving equipment companywide before the first demo was even over. Scissor lifts, tuggers, all of it

Lime Tonics posted:Just remember, a human body is considered a ground wire as well. I’ve heard numbers between a couple thousand to as low as 250 ohms. Might not have been low enough to set off the protective relaying. (51G element or some other detection of current or voltage imbalance due to ground fault through that guy. Trying to think of how that would affect the phasors.) Also that’s for protecting the power system, not personnel safety. I recall from the safety tables that the 50mA range is where you start to have things like VFIB, respiratory paralysis and general “can’t let go” problems. >1000mA is when you really start to get tissue burning. I would reason that this was significantly more than 1A of fault current. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Oct 15, 2017 |

leads to the age old question of, which is safer, A) an un-grounded extension cord B) a grounded extension cord C) an extension cord hooked to the panel under 3 rolls of electrical tape.

Just regular Scotch Super 33 or do you have that really thick liner less or mastic packing tape under there too? I was providing engineering guidance installing 13.8kV shielded cable-to-bus splices and we did not screw around with the taping.

The answer is cutting the cord, weilding one contact to a broken fuse end, the other contact to another broken fuse end, bodging it in, and making the current "normal" on a 99 cent volt meter from harbor freight. based on a true story

That reminds me: Here’s a little story about a “99-cent voltmeter”, a shopping mall’s 480V panelboard, and a double fatality and one survivor with burns. http://www.ecmweb.com/arc-flash/case-deadly-arc-flash quote:For reasons we will never know, after checking all three phases, he made a comment to the effect that something was not right — and returned to the center lug a second time. As he made this measurement, a fireball erupted from the panel, severely burning all three individuals and causing significant damage to the electrical equipment and surrounding area.
