The tendency of a regulatory agency to be captured by the industries it is supposed to be regulating and work for them instead of the public.

As just one example, Boeing doing the certification work for the 737 MAX instead of the FAA doing it.

They screwed up the tempering stage of heat treat, 100% guaranteed. Those bars are likely hard as files and brittle to match.

Had an OSHA happy ending. Found the electrician contractor, explained the panel situation, electrician says 'don't touch that, give me a second', talks to my boss, goes out and fixes the disconnect that has apparently had not worked correctly since the box was installed[!!!!!], and afterwards I could happily go out and work safely in the dusty hell box. I think if my boss had insisting on me just throwing the switch I would have asked him to put his directions in writing and sign them.

You can do work in a cabinet with live 480v if circumstances require it. Need to have proper PPE (i think just flame resistant clothing, rubber boots and gloves?) and a hot work permit and such.
I'm not sure whether it's OSHA regulations or company policy, but we're supposed to leave live work, panel maintenance, and other spicy electrical work to certified electricians (which I'm not)

Nuclearmonkee posted:

The correct answer is "why the gently caress don't we fix it so you don't have to work around active belts and machinery that lust for your appendages in order to flip the breaker"
I don't think I described it very well, the electrical panel with the disconnect is separate from all of the moving bits except the electrons. 'Why the gently caress don't we fix it?' is a question that should have been asked a long time ago though.

It's all fixed now though and I'm sure I'll never have someone ask me to do anything OSHA.jpeg again

You need actually pretty good steel for a prybar, since you're going to be putting a lot of leverage on it. If you make it out of chinesium it's just going to shear and throw half a prybar at you. (this is potentially bad since the long piece of steel acts as a spring and stores energy, so it may be throwing it quite hard)

In socialist antipodea, any product that is 'not fit for the purpose for which it was sold' entitles the purchaser to a full cash refund (not store credit). That's statutory, not regulatory, and cannot be disclaimed.

The idea of a prybar snapping during use should terrify anyone. The amount of energy you could unleash into your face makes me shudder.

Aren't prybar's failure mechanism usually bending instead of snapping? I'm pretty sure I've bent one at one point in my life.

My guess is that DeWalt was trying to harden it enough to surpass a certain bend failure point and "oops now its a bomb in your hand instead"

Ah and heres the self doxxing! Filmed interview, provided photos and outsourced the CGI cos my new 20k workstation with dual Quadros couldn't render poo poo in time so I gave up and faked that I did it. Charged out to contractors, I really want to say fivver but it wasn't. Somewhere I have the raw files, including me ripping the Anglo 'lines' for the title and bottom third cards from some random corporate PDF. Since then I do have the 50 page company 'style-guide' book on how to display their logos and name. That video violates the rules quite a few times.

Fake edit: I did a day in an Arc Flash suit to know what they are like and got loving scared to poo poo when someone threw a breaker while I was filming in a panel room.

No, I did poo poo exclusively for big coal. Except the time I did oil and uranium.

Presented without comment other than helicopters and international waters/dont trust the bottled water given by crew. Because the water isn't allowed back on shore.

Ah when I was in my 20s!

Hövdings are one time use self inflating bike helmets. They cost $540 USD and I guess you wear them so you can avoid helmet hair? the discomfort of wearing a helmet? but they are also a couple of pounds and restrict your head mobility while worn.

They also get set off accidentally if you bend down too fast.

Well, yes. Sorry. I thought it was thread knowledge. Or maybe I'm finally that specific level of drunk to admit to it. I do know I skirted info about filming this sort of poo poo. Guess who in that video had a few too many bottles of wine at the wet mess with us the night before....?

EDIT: If it was ANYTHING Anglo, BMA, and a lot more I cant be hosed remembering from 2004 to 2012 I was on the ground filming then edited or produced. Going into PNG I was asked what I was shooting as all out cameras were smuggled in via our clients freight ships to avoid 'performer' tax. Good old mining company accounting, cost them more in my crew time waiting in our hotels and smuggling my camera poo poo, than just saying we are making a video. As ex-army they gave me a pistol as backup. 'Guard Dog Security' - those fuckers don't mess around. The story around the bar first night with owner (VERY bloody) he got jacked and shot way out. Second most dangerous piece of road outside of JoBerg or Detroit.

I do have a really serious memory problems so sorry if I have said parts of this before.
