Oh hey its post 1 out of two of why I don't work in food industry (should add to give this slightly more weight: I have a masters degree in food science and technology and I am not going into a food plant again if I can help it. I'll stick to being a terrible programmer instead). The other post is so horrifying I'd rather not think about it, let alone post about the tuna cannery incident. I remembered it being in Thailand, but turns out my memory is dead wrong, it took place in Santa Fe (and is horrible to think of): https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/12/bumble-bee-foods-settlement-man-cooked-death-tuna .

Also the worst is when you tell a few of your younger sailors the importance of aluminum grinding disc vs one for steel, and they ignore you then one comes running into the shop with bloody hands and a mangled face shield talking about "I dont know how it happened!"

Pigsfeet on Rye: Oct 22, 2008; I'm meat on the hoof

Sacrifice for the satanic page, an oldie but goodie:

"While a department manager was apparently patching the outside of a 10,000 gallon vacuum evaporator tank containing 10 percent sulfuric- acid (7664939) used in the production of synthetic fibers, the tank imploded, pulling the manager through the 12 by 54 inch opening. The rubber liner in the tank was damaged several months prior to the accident and had not been repaired. The steel wall of the tank had been reduced to a thickness of only 0.13 to 0.21 inches. The tank had been boiled out with caustic soda to remove accumulated scale. Trouble was experienced in getting the tank back on line after cleaning, due to several small holes in the tank which were sealed with sealant putty. The tank was put on line and was operating with 25 inches of vacuum. Suspecting there were still more holes, the department manager went to the tank to find out and was apparently patching on the outside when the tank imploded, pulling him inside. His body was found about an hour later, lying in 12 to 18 inches of acid. Death resulted from chemical burns and skull fractures. Recommendations arising from this accident included implementation of inspections and maintenance programs for all vacuum vessels, conducting of regular safety meetings in each department, assurances that employees are trained in hazard recognition and safety awareness, implementation and enforcement of the established safety program, and implementation of an improved housekeeping program. "

Jesus christ. That reminds me of the engineer making fun of the OSHA inspector when asking about a vacuum chamber they were using for experiments. You don't gently caress around with that poo poo even if it seems farcical at face-value.

Wasn't there a story about a safety inspector getting on a lab's case for not properly dealing with potential vacuum pockets?

e: I saved it:

someone posted:

Oh, boy.

Now I have to explain the absolute Greatest Moment in Wacked Out Real Science.

Couple years ago, some people I worked with finally completed a long-delayed project to build a very large vacuum chamber for testing plasma thrusters and other advanced spacecraft propulsion systems. Not the biggest in the business, but maybe top ten nationwide. Big enough to walk around inside, at any rate, which is the important point.

Important, because in order to go operational it needed the approval of the local Safety Nazis. You know the type. They have a checklist, nay, a whole handbook of checklists, one of which involves Confined Spaces. Big enough to walk around in? Check. Airtight? Check. Can be filled with asphyxiant gas? Well, the MSDS for "Vacuum" apparently lists it as an "asphyxiant", so check. It's a Confined Space, and so the Confined Space checklist must be implemented.

Issue the first: How do they make certain nobody can accidentally walk in while the chamber is full of that deadly asphyxiant, "vacuum"? No, the fifty *tons* of force holding the door closed, is not an acceptable answer.

Issue the second: When the chamber is vented back to full atmospheric pressure, where does the vacuum go? If the chamber were accidentally vented by opening the door (see above, and note exact Safety Nazi quote, "OK, say if you were Superman and you opened the door"), where would the vacuum go?

Issue the third: What assurance is there, that when the chamber is vented back to full atmosphere, there is an adequate percentage of oxygen in the chamber?

Hint: It is a big, big, big mistake here to acknowledge here that the laws of statistical gas dynamics allow for one chance in 10^10^17 (no typo) that the chamber will spontaneously refill with a sufficiently oxygen-poor atmosphere to preclude respiration.

Issue the forth, and so help me God I am not making this up, again an exact Safety Nazi quote, "How can you be sure there won't be vacuum pockets left in the chamber, that someone could accidentally stick their head into?"

And, coupled with issue #2, there could be deadly vacuum pockets floating around the lab! Aieeee!!!! Run for your lives!

It only took three weeks to find someone with the common sense and the real authority to overrule the Safety Nazis on this one, and the SNs still take offense if anyone brings it up in their presence.

Vacuum pockets.

At my last job our worthless safety guy came into the shop, which he's not supposed to do, and I start hearing the grinding wheel going. I check on him because I don't want him to get hurt and he's grinding a brass punch. I tell him to stop and he says 'why? I do this all the time at the farm'
