About 10 years ago, I worked as a warehouse manager (not that important, but context). The operations manager was obsessed with bathroom cleanliness in the warehouse bathrooms. For some reason, he refused to buy urinal mints. His solution, use bleach cakes like you use in the tank of a toilet. The bathroom became un-useable. People complained endlessly about coughing and it smelling terrible. His solution, more bleach cakes. He also used to sprinkle Ajax in the urinals. Not sure what his goal was there. It took a wake-and-bake stoner that worked in our return-to-vendor department to realize the problem. Urine (ammonia) + bleach = chlorine gas. There is such a thing as a functioning stoner. We had urinal cakes on the next supply order.

I just left a job and our operations manager was similar except he was hyper sensitive to cobwebs. We might have had a complete lack of virtually every safety and regulatory item because the FDA had never visited in the five years of operation but this motherfucker spent $1,500 having a "professional cleaning service" scrub the top of my warehouse because the ceiling structure was dusty. The professional cleaning service rode the forks of our forklift up to the ceiling and used swiffers. They didn't even get them all and the operations manager acted like I was crazy for saying that people shouldn't be hanging off the forklift mast. I'd probably call OSHA on them because they jam wood into dc motors when the brushes wear out so they don't have to pay $100 for new ones and about a million other ridiculously illegal things but I think it's actually really difficult to bring the heat down on a place. The OSHA website says that only in special circumstances will they actually even give a poo poo.

Well urinal cakes have the added expenses of having to install robot heads to shout "This is a urinal cake! This is not a real cake!" for the benefit of color blind people.

yurtcradled posted:Draping tinsel to ground it through the metal frame beats letting it spark near the open barrels of ink and solvent. I have no idea if that's a correct safety practice, but they followed it religiously. Used to work for Xerox, so not roto, but still print. They had static eliminators all over the paper path. They had passive static brushes that were the "pro" version of hanging christmas tinsel, and active ones that applied high-voltage AC near the paper to eliminate charges. Most of the machines were Xerographic or laser still, so that added another layer of static management.

I have a few anecdotes from manufacturing: A lady was working as an injection molding operator, which involved removing plastic parts from a conveyor line and packing them into boxes. During her shift, a hydraulic line detached from the press, spraying hydraulic fluid on the floor and causing the cable to bang against the press. She panicked and tried to run away, but slipped on the hydraulic oil pooled on the ground and fractured her ankle. The molding supervisor tried to downplay the incident by saying "well I told her to not move", despite the fact that hydraulic oil was spraying all over the place. I've seen a bunch of crane mishaps occur, especially with chain breakage. This commonly occurs when somebody tries to remove an injection mold from a press without taking out the bolts. The chains are rated for about 4-5k pounds and the molds themselves were between 1-2k pounds. So you really had to put a lot of force on these chains to break them. With that much force on the chain, it will rocket up and hit the ceiling upon breaking. It also sounds like a gun shot. First time I heard this, I was sure somebody was dead on the production floor, because there was a lot of screaming. I've seen this happen at least three times. Did you know that there is a difference between metric and imperial measurements? Well apparently one particular tool maker did not know this, and tried to use a metric mold anchor on an imperial socket. The mold anchors are what attaches the press to the crane chain. This dude got about 50 feet when the anchor thread stripped and dropped a 2 ton mold on the ground about 3 inches from this his feet. The corrective action for this was to paint all the metric anchors yellow and the imperial ones red, along with marking the anchor point on the mold. This is one from back when my dad was in the tool making game. A coworker of his was working on a mold with a spring loaded ejector plate on it. This basically keeps the ejector plate in place until the machine actuates the ejector plate and ejects the parts. While working on this particular mold, the clamps came loose holding the spring loaded plate back and pinched both of the dude's thumbs in the mold. He calls over to my dad and very calmly says "hey man, you need to get a die bar". My dad responds "Die bar? Can't you just get it yourself???" then noticed this dude's thumbs stuck in between the ejector plate and the rest of the mold. Thankfully my dad was able to get the ejector plate back and the other guy's thumbs weren't broken, but he would have been pretty much hosed if he was working alone in the tool room.

An anecdote from the automotive industry. Back in the early 90's, a colleague of mine was an engineer at a forging and pressing company. He designed press tools there, and one day was stopped on the shop floor by a press operator. "Hey, are you John?" "Yeah, that's me." "I love your tools, man. They don't explode like the other engineers'."

I'll never forget the 10 or so minutes spent on exactly what grip to use when feeding boards into a pedal-operated chop saw from back when I worked a lumber yard. It's always the grip where both thumbs point away from the saw.

The engine did what it was designed to do, not quite perfectly, minimising damage to the aircraft. In the past that type of engine failure would have doomed or crippled, now you can treat it like a normal engine out failure. Replace the window, engine mount and the plane is good to go once it comes out of evidence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-8_Gnbp2JA
