Got some home grown osha for you. So we're finishing up a major install project at the airfield where I do ATCALS work; getting rid of ancient GRR and GRTs, analog ATC radios from forever ago and replacing them with ones that are only a one or two generations old at this point. I got us a 40 cubic yard dumpster for throwing away decades of crap, and we ended up filling it up twice, with the final time being half full. One of the dumpster companies guidelines was that we were not to have material pass over the lip of the dumpster (nor are we to have "several" mattresses in there). One of the final items to go was the big reel of antenna cable the installers were using; it would have fit fine if it went in flat, but of course it tipped and went in upright, resulting poo poo over the top of the lip. It was me, my one single coworker (shop sup was already back home), and the forklift operator we borrowed from the warehouse nearby. Coworker begins trying to use a cargo strap to attach the bottom of the reel to the forklift's forks, hoping that the forklift could flip it inside the dumpster somehow. Maybe this would work if the strap was attached on the far end of the reel from the lift, not the near end, but I doubt it. Coworker tries this while I go to see if we have a sawzall somewhere to cut the wood off, as I see this to be the only way to make it all work. Coworker's attempts to get the cargo straps to tighten around the forks aren't working, and he is getting extremely, vocally, frustrated, shouting "Damnit!" and "Piss!" at the cargo straps that aren't working. I tell him to stop, as the physics of it all clearly aren't going to work, and we have some warehouse dudes coming over to cut the top off. Frustrated at the straps, at the reel for not falling properly , and at being told to stop his bad idea, he grabs a sledgehammer to try to hammer the reel apart. So, he climbs ontop, wearing some sort of cross between work and dress shoes (did not look no slip), standing on top of the slick antenna cables themselves, swinging a sledgehammer around, hammering the thing he is standing on, which is not laying steady on the dumpster metal but a pile of trash so it shakes with each hammer blow, above a pile of semi-rusted metal scrap. I tell him to knock it off more, that we are not in a rush, and that people with the proper tools are coming. Told him that it is massively unsafe and to stop before he hurts himself, to which he replies "Since when do you care about safety? We've been doing unsafe stuff for the past few weeks!". I have no clue what he is talking about, we were mostly uninvolved in the install project's more risky tasks and even those were carried about by a dedicated team of installers who were all using proper PPE and following standard procedures. I guess I removed a big 3KVA UPS that was hardwired into a breaker, but even then I had used a multimeter and went slowly, ensuring power was safely disconnected at all points I was working on. At that point it was time for me to leave, and I figured at the very least if he wanted to get hurt so badly he could do it when he wasn't my problem. Officially, we are equal in rank at work, but in reality I generally have to babysit and clean up after him. Oh well, can't have gallant without a goofus I guess. Here are pictures of the reel after they had cut the top off, and before I went to warehouse to find the sawzall they used to finish the job (they ran out of battery juice I guess). Coworker insisted it was fine, and not a big deal it was over the top the entire time I was finishing the job he had failed to.   Images edited to sanitize tail numbers and a big huge landmark. I used to work with this dude while in the military, and I regret not giving my boss my opinion of him while they were thinking of hiring him. He's good for lifting heavy things, I guess.

I bet that dumpster company wouldn't have even given a poo poo about it being a little over the top, they're just trying to make sure you don't double the height of the thing in trash.

Former roll-off container driver here (LONG time ago). I wouldn't have given a poo poo on something like that. It's the fully overloaded containers that are a problem with poo poo on the verge of falling off. A little thing like that and I would have just thrown the cover over it and took off without a word.

Yeah, and our pickup dude probably would have as well for the what was left over in the pictures. Dunno about the original reel though. Probs even then. If I was by myself I might have just said it was fine, by my dirtbag coworker has problems following directions, and needs his hand held every step of the way, so if it the instructions say "Do not cross this line" then that line will not be crossed. We work in air traffic safety and I cannot really trust this coworker. It may be sorta "broken windows" style approach to things but that is an approach he has earned by his actions and attitude.

We threw away entire cable reels of antenna and RF cables. We threw away a lot of stuff that could be used by someone, somewhere. It feels morally wrong, like some sort of cosmic sin, to destroy working items like this. But such is life. It was here for at least a decade, and the boss wanted it gone. If I knew a guy who buys copper I'd have made some serious cash. Shame I didn't, but I guess that would have been illegal?

Okay, I promise not to just bitch non-stop about My One Coworker, but apparently yesterday while I was on leave we had a safety inspection that took a look at our hazmat program. When asked about our MSDSs being out of date, he said we didn't need them as we use a hazmat website (No clue if it has MSDSs on it, its impossible to use). When it was pointed out that our hazmat locker didn't have secondary containment storage, he. . . sawed down a wooden cargo pallet and jammed it into the bottom so now the hazmat items are sitting on it and not the metal? Boss told me not to post pictures of it. I'm not super involved in the hazmat program (about to be though!) but I'd bet that putting dry rear end flammable kindling into the storage unit for the flammable stuff is a bad idea. Am I wrong on this one?

The project has been finished for ages and if anything went wrong they would just not release the videos. It's also shot to make it look more dangerous than it is. I.e. I'm sure he's had a dozen engineers consulting with him on every step of the project and he's probably had professionals do most of the actual work. They recorded a few minutes of video of him doing stuff to sell the story that it's a wild and crazy project.

The other problem with the wood is that it is a pallet with a bunch of holes in it which interfere with its ability to "contain" any spills, which, as I am to understand, is generally the purposes of "containers".

I could have used this one back in the early 2000s. I was working at an HVAC warehouse. Never got training on the care and feeding of the forklift, but I sure did get the keys and a list of poo poo to move around. 3rd day on the job, got in the lift, went out the door, hit a patch of ice on the incline and put the forks right through a 20 ton rooftop AC unit. I somehow kept that job for another 3 months.

smackfu posted:I don’t understand what is happening here. How is there a train in the water? I think there is some combination of forced perspective and the water covering things up, but it looks like the deepest water is right at the foot of the stairs, and there is an incline or another set of stairs at the side closer to the train. If you look at the videos as people get farther from the stairs the water level lowers, or the people are getting taller. The platform itself may not be underwater at all.

IIRC the NYC subways need water to be pumped out 24/7 or they'll flood in about a day. The tunnel the train is in probably has a more robust water mitigation system than the stairwell does. Also a lot more area for the water to settle on the tracks.
