When I was around 4 or 5 years old I was at a Macdonalds playground. They had these merry-go-rounds that had the controls on the wall for kids or parents to push them on and off. I managed push my straight leg under the thing and then bent my leg, wedging it stuck.that sent me into a panic and I started screaming. Cue kids going and pushing the button to make it start going again as well. Three big strong guys come and can't make it budge cause it's bolted to the ground. Someone (maybe my mom) came over to me and got me to straighten my leg and I was free. Sorry guys, I'm probably part of the reason they got rid of these things.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_VTquJR6fg I'm always sort of equal parts awe- and dumb-struck by the poo poo some people get up to in the USA. Like you can find the resources and materials to build practically anything in your shed and use it however the gently caress you want and it always seems to manifest in someone in crocs doing something incredibly dangerous near power lines.

I broke my leg on a non powered merry go round as a kid. I thought I could put my foot down and stop it. Leg went under got caught and snapped I tried to run to my mom with my leg like a bendy straw. This was before the newer type casts so I had an old school plaster cast up to my thigh for months. They also found out on a follow up x-ray they had set it wrong and had to drive a wedge in to push the bones into place.

My worst OSHA was probably when I worked at a home improvement store and a guy on one of the platform forklifts stopped in a doorway to talk to someone, I waited for about a minutes for him to either go or park it, gave up, and started walking past his platform. He started moving again without looking away from the guy he was talking to and jammed the platform into my steel toe and pinched my foot between the platform and the floor, but managed to stop it pretty quick. Lots of mistakes, some of them mine, but I'm not dead and I can still walk. Actually that place just sucked and was full OSHA. I bad to get a tetanus shot because someone placed a broken pallet piece with a nail sticking out of it in the cardboard pile that was in front of the trash compactor and I stepped on it trying to throw a bag of garbage away, a guy hit me with a 6 foot stake when he threw it on his shoulder and turned without paying attention, and management asked me to climb the racks to get some loose product out of a pallet. There was probably other poo poo too

Sanctum posted:What's y'alls last workplace accident? Are there OSHA kings among us with no accidents ever? I think about four or five years back because I'm the only person at work who always wears their PPE and never fucks around with unsafe poo poo, but back then I had to replace an electrical fixture and, uh, let's just say the wiring in the warehouse is a rat's nest of completely insane installations. No one knows what goes where. No one knows what fuse or relay controls what. So turning off the power before doing the work... ehhhh... it would've taken probably the better part of a day without turning off the power for half the warehouse. Long story short I spent a couple of weeks with molten copper embedded in my thumb. It sure made a nice green flame, though.

At UPS we would sometimes need to jog belts in using disconnect switches. Our maintenance guy didn't like it and recommended that we use our non-dominant hand in case the switch blows up.

I showed this to my brother and he replied with some interesting info. He is a welding engineer. Yep that's the textbook way of doing it. It's called a "hot tap". He supervised a few of those. They do the weld with gas at low pressure to not totally cut off the customer. And I quote: "the flame is to know where the flame is". When the flame goes out it means it is inside and that is A Bad Thing. They know what they are doing. It is actually cleaner than most jobs. Often there is water and mud everywhere like in a WW1 trench, which the welders have to lie in. They are welding top to bottom as they should for gas on the first pass. The electrodes are cellulose-clad, you can stick that in wet soil, rub it clean and continue welding.

Cut my hand a little bit on some steel shims in the shop cleaning up at the end of the day, 5 stitches in between 2 places. Strained my wrist real bad unloading parts that should have been set up to be craned but weren't so we were sliding them on the pallet to get straps under them.

Kiddo dumped a whole carton of eggs on the floor and I thought "How would the OSHA thread solve this problem" So instead of burning my house down with my 240 volt sex lathe I used my big shower squeegee to just slide all the egg glorp into my dust pan and was cleaned up in less than 90 seconds

My worst OSHAs were at a pizza place as an inshop, multiple burns on the pizza oven cause I'm a dumbass and one burn that I still have a scar from 5 years later from when the pizza oven plate thing we sent them through on started sliding off the spatula and since it was rush I caught it with my wrist for several seconds until I got it balanced and to the cutting table. Also a huge cut on my thumb from when I was cutting green peppers and was cutting towards myself like a dumbass, which I also still have the scar from.

I can't remember my last OSHA incident at work because I work safely.  E: for content. The first forklefucker job I took was to replace another guy who got his foot caught between the racking and his machine while goofing off.

My worst OSHA was at a kitchen I worked at a while back. The door to the shipping platform where we received raw foodstuffs and delivered what few deliveries we had opened outwards towards where the truck would park. This meant that if the truck was of the type that had a door to the cargo compartment that doubles as a loading ramp and the door to our kitchen was open, when that loading ramp/door closed, it could lift the kitchen door of its hinges. This resulted in the head chef getting a rather heavy door fall on him, and our boss having to convince the guy to go to a doctor.

Haven't had one in a long time, but my last was a few departments ago in the hospital I work at. It was completely my fault, but I had to fix a printer that was having issues. This was a unique printer that could only be printed to from within the department I was in, and at the time there was only one other person working there. So I turn to them and say "Don't print anything until I say so, I gotta stick my hand in this printer." They acknowledge, my hand goes in, and then literally 5 seconds later they print something. I could feel the rollers brushing against the tip of my fingats as I ripped my hand out. Their response? "I forgot already!" Again, completely my fault. A good lesson to lock out your machinery, and don't trust people to follow the most basic of instructions.

Beef posted:I showed this to my brother and he replied with some interesting info. He is a welding engineer. Yeah the thing is as long as this is under pressure it's fine. Air can't get in so the mixture inside is actually completely safe since the air won't flow into it against the pressure gradiant. Would still be class 0 ATEX zone though because it's considered insanely bad form to claim a fuel mixture is safe based on the premise that it's too rich to burn or explode.

Every night was an OSHA violation at UPS: Coolers full of bees, exploding boxes full of rimfire bullets whizzing past my face, watching a guy lose his prosthetic leg while breaking a box jam with his foot, coworker getting splashed in the face when a jar full of mercury broke open on his slide, boss getting his hand degloved in a transfer plate, people trying to ship live kittens and snakes (not together), that one time someone tried shipping a jar of nitroglycerine.

im out of the biz now but i ran a tree service and ive seen some poo poo. worst things for me were two mistakes on the ropes, among thousands of riggings. first time i severely misjudged the size of a cut the guy in the tree was making, and that's when i really learned that a heavy enough load is going to fall faster than your reaction time. in this case, instead of the log hitting the ground and me just looking like a goof, i counteracted its weight enough that it started swinging towards me as i was getting pulled in its direction. i did some juke thing midair, like 3-4' off the ground or else i would've taken it to the high chest/shoulder area. i was shaking for like 10 minutes. it was a perpendicular lead on a locust tree so heavy wood. i hosed up by not putting one extra wrap in the portawrap, maybe two more. really stupid mistake but i was young.

Seems like there are some people that can just see the way something is supposed to/going to happen. But most people are just really dumb as poo poo. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve hosed up my share of things, mostly in my younger days but if someone is explaining something to me, you drat well better believe I’m going to ask enough questions to have a complete understanding of what they are doing.

Beef posted:"the flame is to know where the flame is". When the flame goes out it means it is inside and that is A Bad Thing. The welder knows where the flame isn't because he knows where it is. By welding where the flame is, instead of where it isn't, he ensures that it isn't where it shouldn't be, and if the flame is where it shouldn't be, it is where the welder won't be.
