In addition to being truly horrific that article includes this little gem: quote:[locked inside industrial oven by] his fellow worker – and future son-in-law – I'm morbidly curious if she still married the guy who accidentally locked her dad in an industrial oven and cooked him to death at 280c.

Pookum posted:I got a couple knock off makita 18v batteries and they work fine in tools that don't draw a lot of power fast, like flashlights and radios. I had a co worker try to use one to drill a 4" hole through some plywood and it started smoking and swelling haha I thought it was gonna blow up so we threw it out the window. It fell 3 stories and didn't blow up. It's nice to have some cheap batteries though because the real ones are loving expensive.

Points for pouring large amounts of gas inside, extra points for continuing to pour after the funnel fell out and getting most of it on the ground

This reminds me of something semi-OSHA at work. The building I work in is old. I've been there thirteen years and a lot of stuff hasn't been fixed, replaced, or repaired even once. A big thing that hasn't been touched is the gutters and drains from them. By our CNG fueling station for the forklifts, there's one of these drains. Around January year it finally broke off from the gutter and was just hanging from about four feet up (a fifteen foot length) by a single rusted out bolt and some kind of metal binding clip. It hung by that, moving in the wind, for about two months before I got tired of it (yes the supervisors were told, who knows if they bothered to escalate). I found a roll of duct tape and put two layers of it about five feet above the existing connector, figuring, hey, this will at least temporarily keep it from breaking off while someone is standing by it, right? Well, it's still there. Not fixed, duct tape in drat near perfect condition. At this point I don't think they're ever gonna fix it just because of how well that duct tape worked.

chitoryu12 posted:Just got told about an accident at the local UPS center. Apparently a package got stuck in the conveyor belt and they just send someone to climb on the belt and retrieve it. I was working at a UPS facility a few years ago, one night I was in the sort tower controlling the belts (wasn't on the floor because I had broken an ankle jumping off of a ladder) and one of the top primary directs began to jam up. One of the industrial engineering guys was up there with me and told me to leave the belt running while he broke the jam, he ran down the belt and kicked at the jam until it started moving and took his prosthetic leg with it, leaving him hopping around on a 30 foot high moving belt with obstacles all over the place. I didn't catch poo poo from my boss for this because he was still out getting skin grafts after getting his hand caught in a transfer plate, which was a shame because we were like a week away from our cookout for going 300 days without a reportable lost-time injury.

My workplace has a sign that says something like "30 days without a lost time incident", which doesn't sound like much, but it also hasn't been updated in over a year.  Not sure if that means we've gone 400+ days without an incident, or we just stopped tracking them. Who knows?!
