It turns out that a liquor bottle was re-purposed to hold a cleaning chemical and placed behind the bar

Nah, Frank Lill and Son. They're one of the subs here that specializes in power plant construction, whenever a sub is doing something here that's going to give me an ulcer it's usually them. We're at 200 or so craft/FNM now, since it's getting to the end of the project, but we had a peak of only about 1200. I had figured it would be a lot more people for a GW+ plant. Our RIR for the project is, I poo poo you not, 1.09. Most of our recordables have been really dumb poo poo, like a guy who lit his pants all the way on fire, or the dude who stepped in a puddle and broke his ankle.

Ah, nah I hadn't heard of them before. I'm jealous of your ability to see what the end of a big project is like. VCS shut down on me and I could only stand being at Vogtle for a year before getting the hell away from power plant construction. The company I'm with now does some multi family and commercial base building, a ton of data center base building, and a fair bit of government work, but our real bread and butter is interior up-fits/renovations. Basically I went from a single 8,000 person heavy industrial project to a bunch of interior renovations that average 20 people and only last 3 months. Its nice to have a life again.

I'll try to remember some of our ridiculous incidents. I know we had 2 legitimately serious incidents at VCS and 1 at Vogtle, plus a whole bunch of dumb stuff.

Hokkaido Anxiety posted:

I know this is the OSHA thread so this makes sense but it's insane to see so many power industry adjacent folks here.

Just going through a laundry list of folks getting out of building power plants there huh?

To be fair, I believe CB&I bought Shaw (and are now owned by McDermott, which filed for bankruptcy this month). Fluor tried but by that point the whole project was just a disaster. Didn't help that the utility/owner SCE&G ran out of money which resulted in 8,000 of us getting laid off at lunch on a Monday. You could also add Westinghouse/Toshiba to the list of companies that did not fair so well from that adventure.

Few pages back alredy, but wrc cars have been faster than group b for a while now due to all the fancy electronics and near linear torque. Its kinda amazing seeing them in person.

Spectator safety still isnt perfect, ive been working as a marshall in the local wrc,and the amount of people who get salty that no, you cant stand in that outside curve is staggering.

And when you remove them, they will sneak back, and its kinda lovely because stuff like that is why a stage will be canceled.

I guess osha related i was once overseeing a part of a stage that included a field marked for both rvs and helicopters. Boy was i glad there were actual professionals doing atc communicating with the choppers. Shame that there was a power line going through the field and we got like 25 helicopters at the same time.

Nothing bad happened though.

Ernest Hemingway in 1936 trying to explain the appeal of open ocean fishing to a friend who didn't get it and was trying to get him to go elephant hunting.
https://classic.esquire.com/article/1936/4/1/on-the-blue-water

quote:

In the first place, the Gulf Stream and the other great ocean currents are the last wild country there is left. Once you are out of sight of land and of the other boats you are more alone than you can ever be hunting and the sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats. In a season fishing you will see it oily flat as the becalmed galleons saw it while they drifted to the westward; white-capped with a fresh breeze as they saw it running with the trades; and in high, rolling blue hills the tops blowing off them like snow as they were punished by it, so that sometimes you will see three great hills of water with your fish jumping from the top of the farthest one and if you tried to make a turn to go with him without picking your chance, one of those breaking crests would roar down in on you with a thousand tons of water and you would hunt no more elephants, Richard, my lad.

There is no danger from the fish, but anyone who goes on the sea the year around in a small power boat does not seek danger. You may be absolutely sure that in a year you will have it without seeking, so you try always to avoid it all you can.

I saw them do that version live. It's haunting. Here's the original:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dztj4X3fQps

Every time I reread Norman Maclean I'm struck all over again by how true and beautiful his work is. "Yet we should also go on wondering if there is not some shape, form, design as of artistry in this universe we are entering that is composed of catastrophe and missing parts."

And then when 14 firefighters died in the South Canyon fire, Norman's son John wrote the book about that. I still need to read that one.
