chitoryu12 posted:If you want an OSHA-laden show to watch, try Canada's Worst Handyman. It's a show where they take people who are extremely bad at DIY and home repairs (either because they're scared to learn how to be self-sufficient or they think they're amazing but are actually incompetent and dangerous) and have them try to complete basic home renovation and repair challenges as you marvel at how bad they are. Almost 10 pages ago, but the producers and presenters are either extremely patient or extremely dumb to let any of those people to operate power tools around them.

One of the later episodes had a guy refusing to do any work until they showed him how the tools worked so he wouldn't be scared around them. Yeah, I think they needed to do that day 1, showing how all the basic hand tools work and giving general safety instructions around the more advanced stuff before they could get proper training on it. There were way too many shots of one person holding something while the other person ran a power drill toward their chest. Probably nothing bad would happen, but still.

The show would be less entertaining if the contestants actually improved their skills in any way, which is probably why they didn't do that

I was kinda hoping for that format in this series, but I can live with the OSHA.

I wouldn't be super comfortable. Even if I wasn't planning on handling the gun, I would appreciate a basic safety overview along the lines of "don't touch the guns, but also watch out for these things". Same thing about the table saw: "don't touch the saw, but also while it is being used, be sure to avoid these things to keep from getting hurt."

Yeah, I can understand a surplus of caution around things that can very obviously do serious damage if you gently caress around.

I have a relative that works on those systems. They love when they go off, it's guaranteed overtime and the cleanup just consists of hosing it down the drain.

I don't know how much of the lessons are left out, they don't tend to show classroom stuff but it doesn't seem like they have had any if by episode 6/8 they are still hammering nails sideways and can't use a drill. Which made me question how they let them use things like chainsaws and cordless circular saws. Someone carving their femoral artery with a saw would be a good way to get shut down. But it's reality TV so you know things are being manipulated for the most drama/storylines.

Petrol station in Quincy, MA drat son that's better than those airplane hanger ones that slowly fill up with bubbles. Someone asked an engineer is it possible to immediately displace O2 from 2000 cubic meters of air with authority and forgot to mention they might be people in the area before the engineer got to work while giggling.

Yeah, a gas station going boom is going to cause so much collateral damage that it will absolutely kill anyone standing at the gas station while it happens. As much as it's horrible if anyone suffocates when the suppression system goes off, you can't waste any time in containing the fire.

Which made me question how they let them use things like chainsaws and cordless circular saws. Someone carving their femoral artery with a saw would be a good way to get shut down. They do get lessons in exactly what they're going to be doing before they do it. The first time they have to use something like a table saw as part of a challenge, they're taught how to properly use it and are also shown by the experts how the task is supposed to be done. The guy freaking out about not being taught how to use a table saw was told "You don't have to use it and nobody else is." There have been several times where the show's crew or host have run in and stopped someone from doing something obviously dangerous or if they were displaying such bad handling that they were doubtlessly going to hurt themselves, which is why all of the injuries they had were relatively minor instead of anyone being hospitalized. In general, their poor performance is more due to their personal problems than any lack of skill. They either think they're awesome and refuse to listen to advice or break down when they get mildly confused by something and need to have their hand held through every step. The whole point of the show is that all of the challenges are very normal and easy and they're given all the instructions and equipment that an average person would need to do the task; I did stagecraft in my freshman year of college that was more complicated than the stuff they're loving up.
