"Almost killed" seems like an exaggeration, and "exploding" is not accurate. The bottle took off like a rocket and it probably could have broken her nose or put out an eye if it hit her in the face, but they aren't capping the bottles, which is what turns them into bombs. Huge difference. Like, I'd say that an impact would compare pretty closely to what happened to this woman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmhaj5-F-Fo and she didn't even get a nosebleed.

So apparently OSHA thread favorite Don Blankenship is going to get to be a senator now. I mean unless he manages to lose the Republican primary to an even bigger piece of poo poo, but it's gonna be tough finding one of those even in West Virginia.

Deadly explosion inside New Windsor cosmetics plant. An employee was trying to clean up some spilled hexamethyldisiloxane and static electricity did its thing.

I worked one day for DHL, literally one (I got another offer from a job I actually wanted) and I have no idea how anything even semi fragile gets anywhere in one piece. It can only be due to the magic of packaging. Boxes came down the conveyor belt for sorting by the drivers of each route. You'd just look for your route number and fling it off the conveyor into a pile around you. It went way, way too fast for anyone to be even the least bit careful. Things that ended up on the wrong pile were literally thrown across the room. Then I went for a ride along. At the end of the route there was just one unsecured package left in the back of the van and I could hear it careening around the walls every time we made a turn. I asked the driver if we should stop and tie it down. "Nah."

All shipping companies have their issues and I've had problems with deliveries from FedEx, UPS, etc. But DHL is above and beyond the worst and I have never sent or received a shipment through them that wasn't horrifically hosed up in some way.

Someone who actually knows chemistry (I'm just getting started) can correct me, but it looks to me like he was just seriously unlucky. It appears the ignition source was literally "rubbed paper towels on a minor spill, causing spark". Not the sort of activity one would think of as dangerous, except in retrospect. Looking back at the accident, though, it makes sense. Rubbing paper on plastic can easily build up a charge, and the reinforcing metal cage on the container provides an easy path to ground. It may that this type of container is just really good at producing sparks when cleaned in this manner. Moto42 fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Dec 1, 2017 |

Moto42 posted:Someone who actually knows chemistry (I'm just getting started) can correct me, but it looks to me like he was just seriously unlucky. It was static electricity. He was rubbing a paper towel on a plastic container, and generated a static buildup on his cloth(and also the plastic). Unfortunately for the worker, there were also big metal bars running across the plastic bin. He moved the paper towel near the metal rod, and the paper towel equalized with it, generating a small spark(like when you shock someone with static electricity). The chemical was extremely flammable and all over that particular area, so the spark ignited the chemical, causing the fireball. For someone who works with flammable chemicals like this, it's almost a certainty they're trained on static electricity. Unless the investigation shows there was 0 safety training, I think this is squarely the worker's fault. He should have known better. e: Beaten

But that's how you end up getting stabbed for your trouble. It's the same with fights between humans and machines.

Imagined posted:DHL I worked as a mail-handler for USPS for four months in 2000 (worst job I ever had). I usually sorted SPBS junk mail but I would sometimes get called off to help unload trucks when they fell behind. Usually they were full of filthy, noxious smelling mail bags, but one day it was a truck full of computers. I can't remember if it was Gateway2000 or Dell but it was obvious what we were unloading and back then even basic PCs were still really expensive. We unloaded those boxes exactly as if they were mail bags, just throwing the boxes 10 or 15 feet the tall mail carts. You could hear stuff breaking and I'm looking around because I feel like this isn't okay but nobody gave a poo poo; just unload as fast as possible and move on. I ended up leaving that job after I started to get repetitive stress injuries and was literally told that they would just fire me instead of giving me a wrist brace.

I was management at UPS- which gave me the added benefit of being expected to skirt basically every health and safety rule and not report the subsequent injuries because- cm'on I'm a team player right? My favorite memory was watching another manager trying to break a jam on a moving conveyor by stomping on the jammed boxes until it crushed enough to start moving- when it suddenly did, his foot got caught in the moving jam, torqued his leg, and detached it at the knee. It was a hell of a way to learn that the guy had a prosthetic leg

I'm shocked those don't have lanyard kill switches like boats and jet skis. Of course, much like a lot of boaters, I'm sure the guys working those would just not wear the lanyard.

He gave not a single gently caress.
