Surprise! The first one was the good one!

Heading for 50°C - that's 122°F.

Sometimes being a contractor sucks. Sometimes you're looking at where the mine you're furloughed from until the 9th in the 42-43° zone and thinking "boy this airconditioning and cold beer is going down a treat".

One particularly hot day in QLD everyone arrived back at the camp and turned their Donga ACs on full at the same time. It brought down the grid for the area. The camp backup generators kept loving up until they isolated to essential power only. drat we were lucky to be on the night shift and had gone to the mess before the place was locked down in darkness. I spent the heatwave underground in the relative coolness.

Sure were a lot of sweaty miners franticly squeezing into the camp swimming pool to cool off as we drove out.

Not easily, and you might need to wait until it has cooled and cut it out with a thermal lance.

"GUIDE TO MANAGING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOUNDRY WORK posted:

4.11.1 CONTAINING FLOW
Spills may occur when removing molten metal from the electric arc, resistance, oil or gas,
cupola, induction or resistance furnace and during transfer to a mould by a ladle or other
means. When a metal spill occurs, worker safety must be the primary focus. Boots, shovels
or hand tools should not be used to stop the flow. Water should not be used on metal spills.
Potential hazards include moisture, extreme heat, fumes, explosions, equipment failure, as
well as burns from the molten metal itself.
Control measures include:
„ storing a bucket of clean, dry sand near the furnace to be used to stop the flow of spills if
this can be done safely
„ ensuring workers wear primary PPE.
4.11.2 CLEANING UP METAL SPILLS
Before action is taken to clean up metal spills, the risks of the situation should be fully
assessed. If it is safe to do so, it may be possible to break the metal into sections before it
fully solidifies, using a furnace tool. Primary PPE should be worn when
doing this.
If it is unsafe to intervene, clean the spill when the metal has solidified by lifting it from
the ground with mechanical or hand tools depending on the size. For metal difficult to
remove, an oxygen lance may be necessary. An oxygen lance is extremely hazardous and
extra precautions are necessary like wearing suitable PPE and being fully trained to use the
lance. It is also important to make sure the surrounding area is free from standing water or
flammable materials because molten metal can spray off the lance and onto these items,
causing an eruption.
Control measures include:
„ carrying out a risk assessment to determine the safest way to proceed
„ ensuring surrounding areas are free from water and other contaminants
„ ensuring workers wear primary PPE.
