iroc.dis posted:Do you mean something like this? Nah, this:  Inside the basket is fine, has the upper/mod/toe board but there is no anchorage point. Even the one-man scissor lifts with a point to hook in on in the site have points for fall restraint, not fall arrest- they were rated for ~15 kN, way below the 22.2kN/5000 pound standard and they were below the safety factor of two for any kind of fall with the uh, large-sized maintenance people doing the work. zedprime posted:"But it gonna tip it" is a simple weight capacity review. I think it depends on the arrestor but its something like 3-5 times the weight of the worker is what will be experienced at the tie off point during the duration of the arrest with some safety factor built in if you are in a situation where you swing. I know common JSAs for working at height will specify the safety factor for tie offs to mobile equipment. Most equipment will rate for enough for a human to tie off knowing its a widely used practice but may leave you without weight for tools and parts. If your equipment varies capacity based on its configuration i.e. reduced due to extension or rotation and you're in a configuration that the arresting weight is out of capacity that's a gently caress up of its own. So part of the problem is there was no JSA at all. So there was no review. And as you can see from the picture above, this is not a regular scissor lift but instead something that gets used when they have to poke something on an elevated (17’) conveyor with a stick. The maintenance employees training says both feet on the floor of any scissor lift unless you are tied off. So by half assing a knot to make them “more secure” he’s also making them think it’s ok to go off the floor. I feel like I’m making GBS threads the bed on explaining it a bit, I really just should quote the policy review I wrote the next time I have my work laptop handy.

This is the way it is at my company, we argue and argue but they insist on everyone in a scissor lift being harnessed and tied off. The lanyards are 16' long and none of our lifts even go that high, thanks for the trip hazard dudes.

The lanyards are 16' long and none of our lifts even go that high, thanks for the trip hazard dudes. I got the tie offs banned from anything without a proper anchorage point via a giant and thorough email that I’ll post in here on Monday if someone wants it/reminds me. I’m not opposed to fall restraint at all but doing a fall arrest system on an improper anchorage point is just psychotic levels of negligence- can you imagine the scenario if something goes wrong and you have a significant injury or a fatality? “Oh, we ignored the requirements for anchorage points because we wanted to double up” will go over like a fart in a car with an inspector. Creating a false sense of security is worse than doing nothing, since at least doing nothing doesn’t mess with anyone’s ideas of risk. My job has zero permanent anchorage points so that there’s no inspections. There’s one scissor lift with four points but it doesn’t fit everywhere.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Nah, this: Huh, I haven't ever seen one of those before. The 1.5M sqft distribution warehouse my company works in just uses knuckle boom lifts for when their maintenance guys need to reach conveyors. Its surprising that your corporate safety guy thinks its ok to tie off to guardrails. That's a pretty basic rule

He is very good at some things- namely setting up a safety team to have a good workflow in terms of making sure all reports are thoroughly completed every day. That’s valuable! He should not be making safety decisions on the floor, though.

I forgot those things existed. You need to be a saint to stay out of trouble in those if you're doing anything that breeds familiarity more than replacing the overhead lights every decade.

I hate them but with a few design tweaks (first and foremost a proper enclosure) I would love them to death for some stuff. Really there’s not much wrong with them a fall restraint system can’t fix but none of them are set up for fall restraint/positioning out of the box.

Discovery channel is now the occupation channel, about jobs no one wants to work, and also Josh Gates, who seems fine. Treasure hunting is a dream for all people. Remember when they had the show about an incestuous gun shop without a license to sell guns?

Josh Gates has spent his career travelling the world, taking in the folklore and local customs of many cultures and is a treasure in and of himself. In his book he wrote during his Destination Truth Syfy days, he's got a story about how they were hanging out on a rainy evening in a Thai bar and he spotted some sex workers playing a dice game he'd never seen before. So he went over and played this game with them for the rest of the night, then the next day went out about bought locally made versions of it as Christmas presents for his family. His dad recognized it as Shut the Box. This man had a show hunting fake ghosts and cryptids and his big pieces of advice were to learn from other cultures and also don't wear jeans.

Monster Garage was pretty fun, despite Jesse James and a rotating cast of SoCal dipshits. That show really heralded Discovery's descent into lowest-comon-denominator content though.

The whole family watched in silence for a few minutes until my horrified aunt incredulously asked my parents what the hell kind of shows they let me watch.

He actually treats others with respect and very earnestly seems to be enjoying 'yea I'm gonna go around, get wasted with randos, and year local legends and then I dunno maybe we'll gently caress around in the woods and see if some spooky poo poo happens?' He's some real life goals for us oafish fans of cryptozoology and all

Homeboy lived the dream. Got to be a goofy rear end on Syfy's dime, then turned that into a show for Discovery where he gets to be the same goofy rear end but this time looking for real poo poo that actually gets found sometimes (the episodes on 'The Secret' treasure hunt are amazing), then when COVID hits, he got to have a NEW show where he's a goofy rear end nerding out with celebrities over Zoom.

Expedition X is pretty weak sauce. It's mostly "his" crew off doing poo poo discovery has laid out for them and he just plays narrator. Which is fine. I just found it far more boring than the average ghost/cryptid show. And I love Ghost Adventures for some dumb reason, so if they can't be as entertaining as Zak and Co, they should move on to another show.

There's been a few episodes where he joined them, but with Expedition X going on alongside Expedition Unknown, I don't blame him for playing the "boss" in X and only popping in occasionally. He did his time with cryptid and ghosts, now he can look for Yamashita's gold or Sulieman the Magnificent's heart.
