Varkk posted:My workplace did a 1000000 hours free from LTI challenge and we hit it and management gave us an afternoon off with a bar tab at a nearby pub. There was a little bit creative accounting around it. E.g one guy injured his shoulder on a Friday afternoon but be sure it wasn't a full day off it wasn't lost time since he was back on Monday. Another guy sprained his ankle after jumping down the stairs on the way out at the end of a day but because it was outside of work hours it wasn't a work injury. I mean yeah that's kind of the issue with doing a challenge like that: It's more likely to lead to creative accounting/reporting than to more carefulness.

i was on a site with a big neon sign next to their permit office that said 700something days since an incident and it incremented every single day i was there including when a guy had to get 3 stiches and when someone else dropped a entire pallet of custom made aluminium studded ceramic bricks and shattered them and when someone threw out their back and had to take like 2 weeks off. i asked the head of maintenance what the gently caress you gotta do to get that number reset and he said the last time it was reset someone lost a finger. cool site glad to never go back there ever again

fankey posted:2017. I asked our guide what would happen if the 50s looking full body radiation detectors actually detected something - she said “big noise”. We were there during the "pause" in tourist activities, and none of us could see any proof that the full-body activity scanners were on, even though they had our guide go through it. The gate workers had older handheld scintillation counters that they used, but didn't seem to care all that much. As for the OSHA: Most of my group was issued badge dosimeters for the trip from work, and we had electronic intensimeters to use to spot local variations. The badge dosimeters showed no measurable difference between the one reference badge and the Chernobyl badge, while the dosimeter never left the 1-10 µSv/h range.

The Chernobyl talk reminded me of something I came across yeeears ago. A blog site about a girl who rides her motorcycle to Chernobyl. I managed to find it again by googling "girl who rides motorbike to chernobyl" Honestly I'm amazed angelfire is still up! http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter1.html quote:I have never had problems with the dosimeter guys, who man the checkpoints. They are experts, and if they find radiation on you vehicle, they gave it a chemical shower.

I once watched a gaggle of morons decide they were going to move the big tablesaw, one of those old giant things that takes several people just to lift off the ground because it weighs a couple tons, to a better spot while we were moving into a new place. Said morons decided not to dismantle the giant sled that hooked into a rail to let it move smoothly and frictionlessly for setting up your cuts, which probably weighed about a ton by itself. Before I had time to say anything, one of them (one of the three managers on site, also an old as hell gently caress) put his hand inside the rail that the table ran on to lift it up, and when they all lifted, the table immediately slammed home onto his knuckles and fingers. I was amazed that he didn't have all his fingers crushed, but we got the thing back on the ground asap, pushed the table back off his hand and got it out, got him to the hospital. Of course there was no write-up because he was the one handling write-ups.

Um. So many questions. Why is a cable company fixing a power outage? By wiring a generator into the lines? What? I'm assuming some of this is just garbage NYPost reporting, but that sure is a generator up there.

Phanatic posted:Um. Those look like telecommunications lines, so it's probably just providing power to the local telecommunications hardware.

Those poles are made out of trees, do you know how much a tree weighs? A couple hundred lbs is insignificant.

Unless there is some sort of bracket or shelf like device I can't see, the issue is not the pole, but that the generator is sitting on the wires. THough, there is probably some sort of support wire running through the tangle of service wires.

Pretty sure there are black support brackets of some sort running under the generator and attached directly to the pole. Look just under the gen by the pole. Looks like it has two supports of some kind.

Phanatic posted:Um. Phone service providers are required to maintain basic 911 emergency capabilities even during power outages. That's why the grey broadband junction box on the wall of your basement or garage has a 12v battery in it and it beeps and lights up when you flip the breaker; if the power on your block goes out, you can still dial out and reach a node and have your signal routed to where it has to go. But in huge widespread outages, the redundancies in the usually redundant network of routing and amplifying are all down, too. The inline amps in those big black boxes on poles need power to help push signal outside the range of the outage. Not every amplifier, just a couple centrally located ones to handle the extremely minimal and legally required voice-only traffic over while they wait to get the power back. The generator looks goofy as hell (and the photo sucks) but it looks like it's tied to a horizontally even pair of thick-rear end broadband trunk cables that can support something like 1500lbs in excess of the cable weight per 250' run to the next pole.

Humerus posted:I think the bigger issue is having a heavy generator propped up on poles not designed to support it. Taking a closer look, that grnerator probably weighs about 25 to 35 pounds. Also it might be able to power one fridge. Its light enough for a man to lift one handed and its powering telecom equipment not household power.

I guess if you trust your friend not to smack you with the club, but why? Like I see that he's making sure that the guy's hand is clear before swinging, but his shots are just going in random directions. That's not a useful skill.

Based on how badly I can drive a golf ball when I'm taking my time and giving it 100% concentration, I'm actually impressed by that guy's consistency. He's not really aiming and he slices a few of them but it's not terrible considering he's abandoning form for a cool party trick.

Would pointless rules and lovely management count as anti-OSHA? About 10 years ago I worked in a call center that subscribed to a lot of the worst corporate pop-psychology bullshit imaginable. They required employees to dress in business-casual at least, even though you never, ever had direct contact with any clients. This included requiring closed-toe shoes, which I hate with a passion. This was all predicated on the "if people dress professional they will act professional" trope, as far as I could tell. We also had meetings where they unironically went on about "six sigma" or "lean sigma" or some such bullshit. To add insult to injury, they also kept the office temperature ridiculously cold. Like fingers-going-numb, 1/3 of employees keeping blankets in their cubicles cold. I found these fingerless gloves intended for weightlifting which helped keep my hands warm and still let me type. Whether this was based on pop-psych bullshit about cold increasing alertness or because they had inadequate ventilation in their half-assed server room and tried to compensate by freezing the rest of the office remains an open question.

For sure. It did bug me a lot that the dude kept getting out of the car and standing on the lift gates with it. Like if any of that poo poo failed, either far away or tucked safely IN the car is the place to be. So I guess that’s the OSHA part. One of them.
