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

Anyone who calls the workplace safety representative a "safety nazi" is generally someone I wouldn't trust to be telling me the objective truth about this story, in fact I would strongly suspect they made this poo poo up as a "bendy bananas"-esque hardcore dunk on OSHA and how stupid workplace safety is. :v:

Yeah, my read of that story is that the author had done a bunch of unsafe poo poo in the past, got caught, and instead of owning up to it, tried to blow it off as not a real problem. So the "safety nazi" was not going to give them even the barest hint of the benefit of the doubt when they said something was safe and was using every tool in their kit to make them dot every i and cross every t. If it even happened.

Whole thing just reeks of "I'm smarter than you so I'm always right" arrogance from someone who, if left to their own devices, would likely get people killed and then not even have the common decency to feel bad about it afterwards.

Sure there's no such thing as "pockets of vacuum" but reading that story it seems like you'd want to make sure that when you allowed air back into your vacuum vessel, to make sure you got good, breathable air in there. When you open the valve to let air in, where are the intakes? Are they next to a diesel generator? Down from somewhere in a subfloor? Just cause the gauge reads 1 atmosphere doesn't necessarily mean you should just walk in.

Of course, if the intakes are there in the room and you're putting in known-good air, then you should be good. Still nothing wrong with sticking in a gas meter before anyone enters the space.

The way I see it, a vacuum vessel could easily be considered a confined space and confined space entry is serious business and you don't take anything for granted. They may not meet the legal criteria but caution is definitely warranted.

How the actual hell does an employee dump 6 tons of tuna and then start cooking it... THINKING HE IS IN A BATHROOM... while another dude is in said tuna oven?!? :cripes:

From last page, but I think you parsed this wrong. I think there was a pair of guys, and the first guy didn’t see the second guy, thought “oh, he’s in the bathroom”, and dumped the tuna. The second guy was not in fact in the bathroom, but inside the cooker, presumably cleaning or inspecting it.

When I moved out of a house in Memphis, I took my LaVey books I bought as a teenager, and a paperback of the necronomicon because I never bought LaVeys' satanic witch book, into the attic and threw one in each corner. Just waiting for the day I see some possession stories at my old house on the travel channel.


LaVey's books are pretty interesting until they get to his rambling horseshit of chants and ceremonies and ritualistic poo poo (skip satanic rituals, last half of satanic bible). He's more interesting as a social provocateur than some bullshit religious figure.

Like I said, bought them when I was a teenager. I moved onto a thick rear end book called Atheism: the case against god by someone Smith. Then I stopped giving a poo poo. Being raised catholic is like an OSHA hazard for the brain.
