The actual code is the reverse of what's on there. That's how they keep people with dementia from wandering outside, while allowing visitors to exit without having to bother staff. Pretty depressing, really.

Speaking of locking doors, the NRC has repeatedly 'recommended' that we put a more accessible locking mechanism on our hot lab door than our current tumble lock. Corporate has never changed the lock on the door. Properly securing radioactive material is just not worth $100.

My mother asked me to change a burnt-out light bulb at my parents' house. Okay. It was a CFL, and came apart in my hand when I touched it. Twice. Somehow I didn't get cut. Eventually gingerly grabbed it by the plastic base and got it out, and put the replacement in... which immediately lit up. JESUS CHRIST BITCH, AT LEAST FLIP THE SWITCH OFF. Yeah, partially my fault for not checking, but you don't expect a lightbulb to disintegrate in your hand, it's one of the safer things to swap on a live circuit.

I was remodeling a house with my GF and I had to cut an old 240 line to pull up the old flooring. My GF said she flipped all the breakers, she was good at this but forot that the 240 breaker was outside. I welded a pair of tin snips shut. Lots of sparks and I am glad they were insulated. I always check now.

Look, you said: Labes for days posted:It's pretty cool that a century later, people are still parroting the line used by all those radium dial production companies to deny hundreds of women medical treatment and wrongful death benefits. The radium dial production companies are liable regardless of the exact mechanism of action. The injuries could have been the result of demons trapped in the paint and it wouldn’t change the facts that paint was unsafe, management knew it was unsafe, and they allowed/encouraged/forced the women to work with it in a dangerous manner. The employer is liable, full stop.

Elysiume posted:"Why does it matter which ingredient is at fault, the employer is at fault either way" is hardly the same as "those women shouldn't have bothered fighting Radium Dial Corp." In any case, the book provides a good backstory for that. Back then, diseases caused by work hazard had to be discovered/registered during or before the 5 years that followed the end of your employment there. Depending on the type of isotopes they used (their half-life specifically), it could take more years than that to get sarcoma. So the Radium Girls had to fight to: 1. get the government to change rules on work disabilities to cover disabilities discovered more than 5 years after the fact 2. work around the company doctors and all kinds of unrelated doctors / dentists (because the jaw is where it showed up first) to get access to old radiographies and records to prove the type of disease was not phosphorus-related (since there was no phosphorus in their paint), and prove that the same kind of sarcoma could happen from radiation (no such or little such data existed at the time) 3. work around all kinds of legal tricks and lobbying by the radium companies, including closing doors, moving, renaming, etc. 4. coalesce data from radium girls across state lines when employee health protections often didn't cross state borders 5. do so while dying of cancer with no revenue and expensive treatments while the public still thought that most radioactive materials could be good for your health actually! It's a real good book, again. MononcQc fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Jun 12, 2018 |

In searching for “radium touch‐up paint” (this stuff) I learned that Nissan marketed this colour as “radium grey”: Nice one, Nissan.

MononcQc posted:The ingredients mattered because phossy jaw would have been caused by phosphorus, which iirc was not in the paint used then, therefore the employer could not be held liable for damages. They would just go "this is a mistery, but it's not our fault, so up yours ladies" Well then I’m sorry I haven’t read that book. Maybe next time Labes could answer questions like “Why would it matter which ingredient was at fault?” instead of quoting them snarkily several pages later. It’s not some “gotcha”. From the information in the thread, I thought the paint contained phosphorous.

I really enjoy that the operator actually nailed the dismount. That was a perfect unload. If it was built to support that it barely would have rocked.
