A restaurant and real estate office in Sapporo blew up a couple of days ago https://twitter.com/tokumei_kun184/status/1074583821268377600 You'd think that it was some sort of gas leak in the restaurant, but, surprise, it was actually some folks in the real estate office trying to dispose of the contents of like 100 deodorizer spray cans: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/12/17/national/explosion-sapporo/

Hey OSHA thread. So I work for a terrible company that recently lost most of it's contracts at our airport. As far as the fueling contracts go, we've actually gained almost every airline and have a near monopoly on fueling. So anyways, I was up for a promotion but instead they passed it to some middle management dude from our closing ramp operations so they wouldn't have to downsize him because "he's a good, loyal employee." Dude has no idea what the gently caress he is doing and he's supposed to be supervising in a very niche, highly regulated technical field. Know what a water hammer is? So I was going to slow-fill a piece of fueling equipment that just had it's filter vessel changed, but quickly noticed something was very terribly wrong. Even with <20% flow it was making TERRIBLE noises and, for science, I determined that sound of stuff rattling around got worse as you increased the flow. It took some diagnosing before I asked the right questions and learned that my new supervisor had used that unit for training himself on test flows with the help of some fueling tech from the airport side. I asked him if it was before or after the filter vessel was changed, and if he did a slow fill. He just plainly tells me "Oh yeah it was after the filter vessel change, and no we just flowed it normally." He didn't just gently caress up horribly, dude has no idea he even did anything wrong. But he's definitely going to be hearing about this one.  The filter vessel has been completely destroyed internally and god knows what the chunks of the filter elements did to everything downstream of that. Best case scenario there's gonna be a lot of stuff that needs replacing and rebuilding. He's lucky to be alive because it could have blown the vessel entirely. Also he was on my case for working unapproved overtime his second day there. Dude cost the company AT LEAST $50,000 in damages in his first week, but me clocking overtime to diagnose what he hosed up lol nope. Time to find a new job.

Some seriously OSHA content recently in the Cursed thread. Yanango: DrPossum posted:
Goiania: DrPossum posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident Tokaimura: uber_stoat posted:that was how it went down for this Japanese guy. they kept him alive for as long as they could so they could study what was happening. his body basically melted. even still he lived for almost 3 months. I'd heard of Goania and Tokaimura, but not Yanango. (omfg the Tokiamura one, I can't believe that humans would ever try to keep alive another human with no viable genetic material-- or that it would actually work for weeks while each cell slowly decayed and could not be replaced. Holy gently caress) I'll add another, the SL-1 incident. Unclear exactly what happened, there near Idaho Falls in 1961, but an intentional act of either suicide or murder-suicide is a very strong contender. The wikipedia article on the event is also really good. quote:Around 10:30 p.m. MST, the supervisor for the contractor running the site (Combustion Engineering) and the chief health physicist arrived. They entered the reactor building around 10:45 pm and found two mutilated men soaked with water: one clearly dead (Byrnes), the other moving slightly (McKinley) and moaning. With one entry per person and a 1-minute limit, a team of 5 men with stretchers recovered the operator who was still breathing around 10:50; he did not regain consciousness and died of his head injury at about 11 p.m. Even stripped, his body was so contaminated that it was emitting about 500 R/hr. Meanwhile, the third man was discovered about 11:38 p.m., impaled to the ceiling. With all potential survivors now recovered, safety of rescuers took precedence and work was slowed to protect them.  Although buried in several hundred pounds of lead, regular monitoring of the site still showed elevated radiation levels, and they added a new cap in 2000. e: adding another Tokaimura post Infinitum posted:Woooooooooooooooooooow gently caress EVERYTHING about this jemand fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Dec 18, 2018 |

*clicks on the PDF link for Yanango* Oh wait is this the one where the dude takes home the pigtail in his pocket and... *scrolls down* OH YEP, THAT'S THE ONE. Also, as someone who's read a lot of PDFs from the IAEA, reading the book on Tokiamura was a lot less hard hitting than I expected it to be.

spog posted:Are you the guy that's posted many times about this lovely company and how none of their trucks have working brakes, etc? 3 mechanics quit last month because we were promised raises (to stay competitive) and those didn't come through. We've all done our jobs and gained contracts while the rest of our companies' (ramp) operation tanked and now we aren't interested in hearing excuses. One dude is straight up fixing belt loaders for $6/hr more at the same airport so now all of us are fixing on leaving. I see him every day. Aviation is the 2nd most heavily regulated industry (nuclear being #1, space travel #0) so earning more at starting pay working outside of FAA reg is like... what?

Probably. But if you DROP AND RUN there's a better chance your life with one remaining hand will still be measured in years, not days. OTOH if you want to turn yourself into a walking ghost, ignore the printed advice and use as a suppository.

Cops stopped the traffic on the road so they could deploy the strips. Obviously this doesn't disappear the cars, so they pull over and wait for things to conclude. They weren't just random cars parked on the road. There are people in them waiting to drive away as soon as it's over.

And the cops hosed up by not blocking traffic further away from the strip, or deploying the strip someplace with less traffic. Sadly those dumbfucks probably won't have to pay out for all the damage they caused by not thinking about what they were doing.

Here's the police statementLieutenant David Hall of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office posted:“Usually, when spike mats are deployed, it is rapidly unfolding. We try to make it as safe as possible. If the suspect just drives over the strips, it is not a problem; if he tries to go around it or take other action, it becomes a problem. The spike strips [do not] cause someone to lose control of their vehicle; they deflate the tires very gradually so they can keep control over the vehicle. Him crashing was not caused by the spike strips, but was caused by him overcorrecting.” Source : http://www.thedrive.com/news/25519/watch-a-high-speed-pursuit-end-with-a-crash-into-innocent-bystanders

Whenever I've seen videos of spike strips being used, they usually end in some sort of accident because the person fleeing the cops either tried to avoid the strip or kept driving and ended up crashing once the tires fell off. If you just keep driving and then stop once the tires are deflated, sure you'll be fine but most people fleeing the cops aren't in the clearest state of mind.
