God drat that's some quick thinking to jump back into the cab like that. Is there supposed to be a seat-belt or harness to keep you in there in the event of a fall? That could have ended a lot worse if he continued falling out the way he was.

Always wear your seatbelt.

I'm trying to envision what that looks like in a standing forklift like the one in the video. There's a similar one in the supermarket I used to work at, and I don't remember there being any safety stuff other than a dead-man's switch on the floorplate.

I thought he braked too hard, and started getting out before realizing it was tipping over.

The ones at the ULINE warehouses (all in use!) are full-body harnesses you clip into the roof of the forklift.

I can't tell if he steps out of it before or after it stops moving, but if he tried to hop off while it was in motion and the dead-man's switch stopped it suddenly, well, you'd get what you see.

darkwasthenight posted:Hahahahahaha loving hell. Lad's going for it! 🇬🇧 There's internal video too. He got his 600 quids worth and then some. I'd be as angry as this guy if I knew everyone filming my rage quit would do so in vertical. How is it that easy for that to fall over? Shouldn't there be a ton of counter weight in the base to keep it all on the ground? Is that a discount Harbor Freight forklift or something?

He was going backwards with it raised all the way. There is assumed weight on those forks so the forklift is weighted in the back to counterbalance. So 1. Fast 2. Raised center of balance 3. No load. Regular backing up doesnttil, but that's a combo of bad moves,

pseudorandom posted:I'd be as angry as this guy if I knew everyone filming my rage quit would do so in vertical. He's not supposed to be driving it anywhere near that fast with the lift extended like that. Actually the only distance you should be driving with the lift up like that is measured in feet. Enough to lift a load and move forward to stow on shelving or enough to remove from the shelving. If you're moving around the load should be at or very near ground level. Empty forks are still a load (as well as the extended lift mechanism) The counter weight on the stand-up units is fairly close to the lift mechanism and not a lot compared to the tons that are set back a couple meters that the sit down ones have. You have a huge lever with a couple hundred pounds of forks way up high, and the fulcrum is at the very bottom. The momentum of the height/weight/speed is enough to overcome the inertia of whatever paltry counter weight exists in a small lift like that.

My father has been doing a bit of DIY at his house and has drilled a hole in his ceiling for an external TV antenna "about a month ago". It's 9:30 pm now so I can't just call an asbestos removal guy for their advice. His house was built in the '70s and he doesn't know if it's asbestos or not. It's not a decorative or popcorn ceiling - if it's asbestos, it'll be low density sheeting. To protect him from himself and without risking my own safety, should I: * Mask up, glove up, cover the hole with paper edged with masking tape; * Mask up, glove up, cover the hole with masking tape directly; * Bundle him out of the house and let him watch the tennis and spend the night in my guest room (I despise tennis and his being deaf won't help - this is really not my favoured option) Tomorrow morning I will be calling a professional to assay the material and (if needed) remove any asbestos found; I'm just trying to minimise the 'fallout' in the interim. It's entirely possible that it's not an asbestos panel he's drilled - his could be the 1 in 3 homes from the era that don't contain asbestos.

My first thought is that if this happened about a month ago you should absolutely avoid disturbing the area at all. You going up there to tape it up is going to kick up more dust than just leaving it one extra night will.

I seem to recall that yes, there has. Probably more than once. Studies found that people were experiencing varying symptoms and reactions due to background music completely regardless of whether or not the space had actually ever had music.

IPCRESS posted:My father has been doing a bit of DIY at his house and has drilled a hole in his ceiling for an external TV antenna "about a month ago". I'm an asbestos consultant, currently sitting in an office at a power plant that's had 500-odd tons of 80% amosite insulation removed from it in the past couple of years If it's been a month and there's not a pile of suspect dust laying around, I'd just let it go. An open hole shouldn't be a problem. Don't bother taping it or anything, you'll just disturb it. If you want to save some money, call up an asbestos lab and have them send you a sampling kit. Use a half face respirator with P100 filters and a spray bottle full of soapy water to carefully take some samples. If it's over carpet, lay down a black plastic garbage bag to catch anything that falls, otherwise you can just wipe it up. If it's an old house, I'd be more worried about mold than asbestos, as long as he doesn't drill more holes daily. Abatement contractors are expensive as hell, if you take samples and they come back hot I'd either leave the asbestos-containing stuff be without loving with it at all, or suit up and remove it myself. A one-off mild exposure isn't going to kill you before something else does, you're likely breathing in a bunch of asbestiform fibers just sitting there at your desk. If you want to get really hardcore, the lab you call for the sampling kit might be able to send you an air sampling pump and some filter cassettes for phase-contrast microscopy, which would tell you guys whether what you're breathing in contains an appreciable quantity of asbestos or not.

Oh, I feel like I should mention any loaner air pump you get from a lab is likely contaminated as hell, so... if you fire it up and see a bunch of dust fly out, definitely avoid breathing that in

He parked all his equipment in the yard right next to my bedroom and lit it up like it was daytime at night. I asked him if he could maybe point the lights in a different direction, and he claimed he was "worried Mexicans were gonna steal his poo poo" and said no. Bought an air rifle and plinked out half his lights. He replaced them. I did it again. We did this right up until I moved out; probably six times in all.

"Benign" doesn't mean as much when the tumor's in the brain as if it's somewhere else, but if you're going to get a brain tumor a meningioma is what you want. My mom had one, the bitch was it was all tangled up with her cranial nerves and it took 18 hours of surgery to remove it, plus gamma-knife followup to get the vestiges so it wouldn't go back. Also she had breast cancer. And lung cancer. Don't smoke, kids.

Truga posted:employer stole 600 of his wage Yeah that’s the part I was interested in some details on. Was it a one time thing or constant, was it an accounting error they refused to fix, was it bad labor practices like not paying overtime, etc. e: Nevermind, it just came up on imgur. Apparently they had originally promised the pay the Friday before Christmas, and then changed their minds. ee: Also it sounds like maybe they DID cut him a check as promised but the bank hosed it somehow.
