Well, i watched it and it went way better than I thought. Apparently ice manages to not flash over instantaneously in a deep frier.

I assume it's something similar to the leidenfrost effect, where the outside of the ice cube melting and then boiling insulates the ice in the middle, so it boils off comparatively slowly.

Whereas if you throw liquid water in it mixes with the hot oil and all boils at once.

I guess maybe what I mean is if they were doing everything by the book, noticed the manifest was wrong, discussed it and came to a clear understanding about the way that would affect braking, but decided to sort out the paperwork later, I don't necessarily think that's unsafe or unprofessional.

Corner cutting on forms where there is a clear understanding between the relevant parties about the key information doesn't have to mean there is a problem. A form being filled out incorrectly might mean something, or it might not, in my opinion.

Paperwork isn't intrinsic to safe operation in the moment but can be a cornerstone to continuous improvement. All the understanding in the world won't survive a blow to the head, and even less dramatically memory is fungible by what you want to believe in a way you don't even realize you're being inaccurate after the fact. Might just be an investigator passive aggressively bringing up they might not have known about the weight if there was a derailment and the load and driver were now thoroughly mixed into the ground and the guard who signed off the weight is halfway across the continent.

Paper record is only a step above that but since investigators had to question the entire process that informs the drivers how to manage brakes on inclines because the books were off compared to reality means at least this form is important administratively in post hoc safety assessments. If nothing else if you're being asked to document the inputs that affect how you are operating equipment its because your employers want evidence that you didn't consciously gently caress up so its in your best interest to only touch 100% accurate paperwork.

This is OSHA thread. Lots of employers actually want the job done extremely fast, with a paper trail they can use to avoid management responsibility and dump it on the lowest level employee involved in case anything goes wrong. If you don't play along, good luck in your future job hunt.

That's all completely true but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a causal factor. I'm concerned that stuff like this can be an easy win for an investigator, in the manner that long classic post about a derailment caricatures. They filled out the form wrong, open and shut.

It's important but did it actually cause what happened here to happen? Like, in all of our day jobs I'm sure we cut the occasional corner without being unsafe or incompetent. A completely formal examination of what happened vs what should have happened on paper might not necessarily tell you what went wrong. Therefore is it actually making anything safer?

Not trying to contradict you, just explain where I'm coming from.

Sure, but if I cut corners it’s a minor clerical error that has relatively few consequences and is easily fixed. If the guys calculating load weight cut corners, stuff explodes and people die.

They were obviously supposed to follow some pretty stringent procedures before operating the ersatzsignal, as those procedures are effectively the only safety systems in place.  There is no engineered fail safe here, just a human one. And in this case the human one failed spectacularly as it was engaged in playing Dungeon Hunter 5 on its mobile.

Analysis of this guy’s phone indicated that 72% of the shift up to that point had been spent on Dungeon Hunter 5.  He was not using it at the moment he set the ersatzsignal, but was doing so only a few minutes before. He refused to answer further questions about his playing time in the preceding months. The investigation concluded this would have had a substantial negative effect on his ability to concentrate. A jury agreed and convicted him of 12 counts of involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison and was recently released after serving 2.

Same class, dude nearly gassed himself to death with spray adhesive. At least we had a sort of fume room for that poo poo, but if you didn't turn on the fan, all it did was isolate the fumes. Actually, I think that was the same dude with the exploding Dremel.

sad osha story, woman spends 15 years making natural-material sculptures, including using mussel shells. Problem is:

quote:

In 2015, I was diagnosed with heavy-metal poisoning. Doctors found high levels of arsenic and lead in my blood, the result of chronic exposure. The water where the mussels grew was likely contaminated from industrial waste, and the mussel shells I’d been working with for decades were toxic. Metals can be absorbed through consumption, air or skin. I’d been exposed in every way.

....

I will never fully recover, and I continue to live with many neurological and metabolic symptoms. I have difficulty holding a thought. I’ll pick up a tool to work on a piece and forget why I chose it. I struggle with autoimmune disorders, and there are many foods I can’t eat without becoming ill.

I think so, she doesn't sound as bad off as part of what she described her health as before finally being diagnosed. But the length and severity of the exposure might be such there are still severe permanent effects is my guess.

When I was taking model making (think rapid prototyping) classes in college we had a group of British exchange students. They apparently they weren't taught safety at their school. We had to get them to start wearing safety glasses, gloves, respirators, and to turn the negative pressure fan on in the spray booth. I'm not sure why their school was so lax, but that's how it was.

I found one of the guys working in the spray booth with the fan off, no gloves, and no mask. He was using a touch up gun with green automotive paint. His hands and face were green. He was breathing paint. Breathing automotive paint! They would also wash their bare hands in the gun cleaner like it was nothing. The gun cleaner is like a sink but instead of water it uses MEK.

All four of the Brits were good friends of ours but, apparently, their University was super lazy about safety training so it kind of put us all on edge.

I went through the british educational system, and it mostly depends on the teachers whether or not you get out intact. My CDT (woodwork/metal work) teacher was always good on some things, and yet completely blase about others.

No long hair/loose clothing on the pillar drill? Check.
No unattended use of the forge? check.
