Things should be safe and there's always ways to make things safer but those doors are only a danger if you're literally not remotely looking where you're going. She could have just as easily have walked into a lamp pole or something and broke her nose but it would have never been the pole that was dangerous. Maybe we could paint all poles bright yellow with proximity sirens and cones around them, but maybe people could actually glance at where they're walking every couple seconds at the least. If there was a cone in this situation it would have some how ended up stuck on her foot as she fell into the staircase. Some people will just Mr Magoo every situation no matter what you do.

I heard a story from a former bar manager in Syracuse about the basement stair delivery thing. Previous policy was to clear the basement and just roll the kegs down the stairs. Dude said those kegs would be flying down the stairs, knocking bits from the walls. His bright idea was to set up a thick board at the bottom of the stairs attached to a weight with pullies, in hopes of decelerating the kegs once they hit the floor. First time out the whole assembly got ripped out of the wall, causing even more damage than letting the kegs bounce around down there. This is the same guy whose father delivered beer kegs off the back of a truck the old way: rubber mat goes behind the truck, roll them off, and you just catch 'em as they bounce to set them upright. He bought rubber mats for the basement after. If you can't make it safe, make it less dangerous. There's a Red Green joke there somewhere...

It's ok to let people in and ease off to create a safe gap again. If the lane is so congested that you are barely moving forward then the gap is too small for a car to merge into.

Ditto Miami. I think people had more courtesy on Fury Road than they do here. The only redeeming part of evacuation (according to a random goon in the Florida thread) is that Florida Man doesn’t have the room to build up any speed when there’s gridlocked traffic, like with an evacuation. He’ll still cause an accident, mind you (such is the way of Florida Man), but it probably won’t be lethal. Probably

There are soooo many videos of people on their phones walking into everything from glass doors to street lamps to ponds and so on. People will walk into anything when they're on their phones and not looking, if they're distracted enough to walk into stuff like that, they'd walk right through barrier tape and right down the hole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geGYQEp-vnY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKlF4JL-4r0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYgTM1pPjKQ People are dumb.

shovelbum posted:A barrier tape set back at a proper distance gives people a heads up before they fall, a knee high barrier is just a trip and you're in the hole I'm not saying you shouldn't put up barrier tape, but from work my experience is that when you cordon off an area with tape saying "DO NOT CROSS THIS LINE", people will automatically walk over or under it (it usually has enough flex to allow for that) and proceed to walk directly into their doom. Luckily most of the time it's not been deadly and sometimes it's not even dangerous, but still pretty horrible to watch. e: Just remembered last week someone walked into a fresh patch of asphalt despite it being taped off. He wasn't even looking at his phone or anything, just didn't want to go around and use the other entrance I guess  ee: Oh and the guy who drove a forklift through a big automatic door that was cordoned off and had a huge sign on it, because it wasn't loving operational. I guess the upside was that the repair guys were already on-site. Thank goodness they weren't on the other side when the idiot decided to ram it. (He doesn't work for us anymore.) eee: It was the same guy who tried to drive a new forklift in through a pedestrian door because "it looked wide enough". It was plenty wide enough, it just wasn't anywhere near tall enough. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Sep 21, 2019 |

Anyone in this thread who thinks putting up notification barriers when working will stop the moronic public from entering your work zone has clearly never actually done any of that type of work. Unless you make the barrier physically impassable (we're talking a 6'+ fence here) people will stroll right on through if they perceive the alternative route to be even the SLIGHTEST inconvenience. The stupid should be allowed to cull themselves.

GotLag posted:"Take off all the warning labels Warnings are good because some of us do actually read warning labels and instructions and heed bright yellow things.  But in general unless you've got something that literally prevents an action, like a huge padlock or whatever, some moron will fail to read what you've written, or will actively dismantle your careful safety precaution, so they can go ahead and be stupid and die anyway. The people who are determined to die by idiocy will do so, no matter what safety precautions are in effect, the rest just protect children and the unlucky, so safety precautions work as intended. Plus if someone's dumb enough to injure/discomfit themselves by ignoring/not paying attention to warnings, you get to laugh at them twice as hard, so win/win.

This is true, but it also provides great opportunities for getting to holler at people guilt free when they cross into the space. The mixture of terror at being confronted, and shock that some dirty prole would dare yell at them is simply the best.

If you're blind enough to not see an open basement access in front of you, you're blind enough to be walking with a cane, which even in this case is entirely sufficient to allow you to identify the open pit and walk around it.

To add to this, even if you're on a construction site and there are only other trades people there, people will still pass the danger and caution tape because people are loving idiots. On most sites, if you're working overhead and there's a way for people to walk under you, you have to put up barrier tape. The rule is usually if you cross the barrier tape when you aren't working in that area, you'll get walked off site. People still do it. People are loving stupid.
