Gromit posted:What the heck is the "right PPE" to save you when you sweep a 40k PSI waterjet over your leg? Powered mech armour? Ablative I assume. Won't stop the jet, but will buy you a few moments. Either that or conductive mesh that automatically cuts the flow if it creates a circuit with the water stream.

Ok but what if I accidentally drag the water jet across my leg for more than 14 and a half minutes?

We had a couple of these high pressure washers with 2.000 bar working pressure onboard for a job where we were cleaning anchor chains for a rig. The operators used special kevlar suits for the job. The sound that the water made was LOUD!

Then they breath-o you and if you are THAT hung over to resort to this method you will most likely have a lot in your system still. Be smart - call through a family emergency and with luck get a voicemail. Leave said voicemail and do not answer calls back.

My work is moving a coining press and apparently the first step in that process is "Lay it down on its side" so the riggers have accordingly brought a forklift so big it has removable counterweights that had to be shipped on a separate truck

Ornamental Dingbat posted:So we're decommissioning a box plant and the riggers showed up last night and dropped a 34,000 lb forklift with a DOM placard of 1971 on the dock. It won't start due to a faulty switch and they won't be back for 2 weeks. It was blocking half the shipping dock and they said it was OK to just "push it out of the way". I guess it depends on the exact setup, but with all the lifts I've used you can put the transmission in neutral without it needing to run. Then you use another forklift to push it, counterweight to counterweight. You can steer, too, although it'll need to be moving and the driver will have to crank on the wheel. Then you set the manual parking brake. The pusher forklift can be much much smaller and you don't need to lift at all, just push. Don't use the forks. If all you have is something like a stand-up lift or powered pallet jack, pick up something heavy and not-fragile that extends past the end of the forks. Think a shrink-wrapped pallet of concrete or a unit of 2x12's or a full dumpster. Something with a solid, flat end you can push the disabled forklift's counterweight with. Needs to be heavy so it gives the pushing lift traction. Source: Night crew would run the propane tanks empty then just abandon the lift wherever, then we'd have to push them over to the fuel pump. We did a lot of lift-pushing.

Am I missing something or is there not a forklift emoji? Such an oversight. In other news, I found out I'm getting forklift certified during my IH internship this summer

I think I've posted about it before but the most osha poo poo I have ever done in my entire life was a previous job: The semi-dementia'd 80 something year old owner bought a forklift with a locked differential and had it delivered in a way that bocked the loading dock. It was there for a couple weeks before I figured out how to raise onto cribbing one corner at a time with a floor jack until it had enough clearance to get two pallet jacks underneath and very, very carefully be rolled away by hand without the benefit of any kind of brakes.

Probably the vibration setting off a car alarm, or maybe emergency services arriving, although that would be some timing.

Goddamn I wish I could have gotten video of the motor we just started up. Nobody got hurt, no real equipment damage, but an improperly secured 4160V motor coupling housing just bouncing up and down like Pac-Man's giant yellow maw was hilarious.

You haven't lived until you drifted a forklift on the loading dock when it's raining. Just try not to go off the edge.
