Extremely OSHA. Worst thing that could happen is back injuries from bending and lifting, maybe foot injuries from dropping one. Bottles roll nice and slow right to the stacker(s), who have a decent-looking fan putting some air on them.

It's still backbreaking physical labor, but everyone is going home in one piece at the end of the day. They should just extend the roller track all the way into the trucks so that the bottles come off the end at working height for the stackers, but this honestly looks like the next best thing.

the only reason fire blankets are common in the uk is that british people are obsessed with making chips (fries) when we come home drunk from the pub and loooooots of people burned their loving houses down by putting a pot of oil on to boil and then passing out/getting distracted or whatever

fire blankets will do a reasonable job of controlling a chip pan fire (if you're capable of using one) whereas pouring water (or using the wrong type of extinguisher) will explode your loving face off

Today's lesson in "I'm in the wrong line of work" involves one of our drivers who got a flat tire on 695 in the Bronx: every stretch of highway around NYC has a primary permitted repair vendor who can do repairs on the road. If you need to bring in a 3rd party vendor you still have to pay the primary vendor for a permit to do repairs in their fiefdom. It usually costs $600-$700 and takes hours to get processed but is generally much cheaper than hiring the primary vendor.

This is the cost of doing business in a primarily mob-run industry.

I once overheard the owner of my company threaten to disappear someone. Someone spotted one of our trailers that had been stolen from Amazon and reported the truck's DOT number to him. By the time the driver got to his delivery someone was waiting there to hand him a phone, and, with his South Jersey accent turned up to 11, the owner calmly explained that the driver was either going to give the trailer back to him or he was going to go away somewhere.

I admire the concept, but the ¥209 ($32) price tag seems a bit low, even though she says did test it

I tested a patch of it of course, inflammable and you can sweep the flame over pretty slowly without a thermometer on the inside going up much. It's just like wearing gloves if you are working with caustic chemicals, why wouldn't you?

Having spent most of my life in South Jersey, I would die laughing if someone who sounded like a WIP caller threatened me.

Not that I steal trailers. Also this doesn't sound like the CEO of the very large logistics company that I used to work for (formerly out of Vineland, currently out of a very politically controversial building in Camden), but I can see a particular one of the fleet managers doing that.

I'd be less worried about the direct flame and more about the kinetic forces involved in a tank explosion.

But then again if things go that horribly wrong maybe you don't want to survive it? Extreme burns are supposedly one of the most painful things to survive and "recover" from because of the baths and other things involved to keep you from getting infections while your body tries to rebuild skin.

Yeah I know it was all talk but it was certainly enough to scare the poo poo out of a trucker from Bumblefuck Ohio and get him to pull the pin and give the trailer back.

uh. You can see berms in that picture. Look just left of center, where there's a yellow ladder on a berm side.

Just to be clear, I'm not going to claim that America's regulations are sufficient, or that the berms/impermeable soil in any given case is properly maintained. But they are required to exist, and you can see them.

Yeah, there's nothing bad that can happen when oil is just laying out on the ground. It's quite safe, I'd gladly drink a glass of it to prove it.
