sharkytm posted:Most safety regulations are written in blood. DrBouvenstein posted:Almost certainly. Hell, that's how most safety equipment/warnings come about. I did some training for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) years ago, and they were all talking about signals and poo poo if a subway train came by while you were working at "track level". So, there was a specific signal to make the guy stop, but they also said, "in an emergency situation, if there is a train coming, and you've forgotten what the correct signal is in your panic, then just jump up and down and wave your arms and the train operator will come to a stop". My reaction was "how many people had to die before they decided that one was a good idea"? I don't recall the answer

Uthor posted:I heard a couple years ago about a new hospital that hooked up the O2 and CO2 (?) lines backwards and patients died from getting something other than oxygen. It really disturbed me, so I'm not really willing to look for it again. A similar thing happened in my home town about 15 years ago where someone forced (since it ordinarily wouldn't connect) an oxygen line onto the N20 line. The patient's O2 stat kept dropping so they were upping the feed thinking they were giving her O2. She died. To my knowledge they no longer have N20 lines at that hospital, they just bring in a handcart with N20 as needed.

The Therac-25 was the case study we did at University to learn the importance of not only testing but knowing what you're testing. Also see the Ariana launch disaster caused by cheaping out on thier Ada compiler.

Someone check my calculations here, because I'm only about 2/3 through my differential equations class, but P=VI P=(5V)(3.1A) P=15.5W That seems like a lot more than 0.06W.

shovelbum posted:My takeaway on that was always the importance of hardware interlocks if I'm remembering it correctly You're right, but I think my point is still valid: many people build safe machines with hardware interlocks that are completely without any risk to the user unless someone does something the testers never considered- such as jamming a screwdriver into the sensors to allow the machine to run with a cover open because it makes it easier for the operator.

Doesn't modern gear prevent this sort of thing? I remember reading (possibly in this very thread!) about some piece of equipment with buttons that had to be hit simultaneously, and were spaced far enough apart that you had to have both arms extended (thus keeping your hands away from the crushy part of the machine). The early models could be defeated by taping down one of the buttons and just pressing the other one to operate it, but the final version needed both buttons to be released at the same time before you could use the machine again.
