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.

Is a gun cleaner a machine for cleaning guns, or a machine for cleaning things using a gun-like tool?

Things are looking up...

My 8th grade 'buffet' style worshop/home economics combo class was a live demonstration of everything idiots could do.

Metal shop: Instructor explains no uncertain terms 'do not short these car battery terminals - they will melt whatever you put across them and/or explode'. Within 15 minutes an idiot put a wrench across the terminals for the lols. We were down a wrench, a battery and a student after that. He got expelled.

Wood shop: Someone used the planer without supervision because 'how hard can it be'. Lost just a knuckle. Another kid band-sawed his way into the thumb/forefinger webbing on his hand.

Electronics shop: Instructor warned us about soldering wires under tension, since they can recoil and fling hot metal into your face. Good reason to wear goggles/face shield! Of course someone was too smart for that and ended up spattering hot molten lead into their eyeball. Oh and several people zapped themselves with good old 120.

Sewing class: Turns out you can get about five stitches into your finger before the needle snaps off when you yank your idiot hand out from the machine.

Cooking class: Someone learned the fun way not to assume a range is cool after they sat on a hot coil. Bet they had a neat spiraling butt-scar. And of course people chopping off small pieces of fingers with knives.

Drafting class was the only one with no disasters but I'm sure it was a close call.
Every single example of this stupidity was -exactly- the poo poo instructors warned people about. Like, they could have said 'here is what not to do - and here is why:' then point to whatever these idiots did.

Bleach isn't that serious?

The only reason they say that is because the chemical ingested has the potential to do damage on the way out, just like it did on the way in. So, to minimize the damage, they say to not induce vomiting. There are plenty of chemicals with this warning, and it really doesn't mean anything past "this poo poo is caustic."

Honestly, just call poison control. 1-800-222-1222 (in the U.S.) I've used them multiple times while on a 911 call, and am never not amazed at the amount of information they have for ingestions. I don't think there's a chemical commercially available that they don't have info on.

Sounds like it was a degreasing bench, its usually a basin full of organic solvent with a recirculating pump and a filter cartridge so you degrease gunk, wash off particulate, and don't recirculate the particulate. Sometimes you have some tubing on the nozzle or whatever to redirect the pumped solvent into and at things you want and sometimes its just like a sink nozzle you hold stuff up to if you don't just want to soak it in a basin of the solvent.

I don't know what solvent we had in ours in high school shop class but it had probably never been cleaned or recharged in its life because you could build sand castles out of the gunky metal particles if you wanted to.

Yeah its mostly anything corrosive at which point you want to neutralize it in the stomach before it goes out or in anywhere else.

Poison control is really awesome, they have the medical digests that would be not understandable if included in the SDS and if they run into something weird they usually have the product stewards from the manufacturer on speed dial.

I did 5 years in prison in Florida from 2005-2010. While incarcerated I got ASE certified, earned 12 college credits for doing a 6 month culinary arts program, and finished an entire course in HVAC. Also available that I never participated in, were welding, carpentry, plumbing and a few other trades.

In high school, in contrast, from 2001-2004, I had..... uh.... Animation. And... Photography? No type of trade/shop class offered whatsoever, nothing. Not even woodworking.

I'm a paramedic. When I first got out I worked as a bartender because there really weren''t any ASE jobs around that were hiring, and I never certified in anything to do with HVAC, so I went to restaurants thinking I'd work in the kitchen. Unfortunately, managers generally liked my personality and wanted me behind the bar. Did that to put myself through school, graduated with my AS: EMS and my BS: Fire Sciences. I worked for a busy, urban 911 service before doing Critical Care, and eventually transitioning into the hospital, in the emergency department. Now I'm back in school again, this time to get my RN.

:lol: at anyone who says their life is over because they committed a crime. I did time for armed robbery, and have somehow I'm white. How tf else do you think I could do this? gotten my poo poo back together.

I've never heard of anyone dying in a middle school metal-shop accident, and you've dealt with ten of them alone. The connecting factor between these deaths isn't the metal shop, it's you.

by "all of them died" he means all the drill presses died, when their motors stalled and burned out from being jammed up with hair

i hope. because in most schools even a single death in a shop accident is unheard-of

also there's a chance that if the person vomits they will aspirate whatever it was, and many chemicals are less harmful in your digestive system than in your lungs.

like even something as benign as machine oil, which if you drink it will just give you diarrhea, can give you a legendary case of pneumonia if you inhale it as a vapor
