We lost a millwright at UOP Honeywell from a software malfunction on a muller that was supposedly fully locked out. A dump door underneath it suddenly triggered and opened, and its hydraulic arm swung back to compress the chest of the millwright standing in the way to about 3 inches deep.

After the investigation we were given big welded braces to put on the arm when LO/TO work was being done on it. When I asked “did they fix the software” I was told Honeywell’s position was that there was nothing wrong with the software and the millwright must have done something wrong.

I never found out how the family’s lawsuit turned out. I was laid off there a year later.

I work with a lot of people from Honeywell Albuquerque (that shut down in what, 1999?) and gently caress me

Doesn't seem that bad to me. Other than doing the whole thing with the cab door open and no seat belt.

The dollys have ridges to keep the tracks from sliding. If the operator is paying attention he can work the swing like a fifth wheel for turns and lane changes but it looks like they're just heading down the road. The load probably isn't even that high for eight tires on the back and a dump truck.

Probably safer than walking it onto a low boy without side boards (they never have the side boards) for a short trip.

It's really heavy and if the truck doing the pulling needs to brake heavily, the excavator is not going to be braking with it and will in fact want to keep going.

If it's a short distance at low speed then it's probably fine, but if you've put together a setup like that then it's probably being done instead of putting it on a flatbed even for longer trips.

I found a description in the lawsuit, and am spoilering it just for folks that don't want to see a description of someone dying

quote:

Clifton Devon Ward is the late husband of the plaintiff, Elizabeth L. Ward. Clifton, who was employed by G.A. West Company, Inc. ("West"), was killed on April 8, 2009, in an accident while working at the facilities of defendant UOP in Chickasaw, Alabama. The complaint alleges that "[o]n or about April 8, 2009 . . . Clifton Ward was suddenly and without warning subjected to a severe and unsurvivable crushing injury to his chest" due to "a pneumatically powered piston or cylinder struck him in the chest, pinning him between the large, moving, pneumatic piston and a verticality oriented steel I-beam which was part of the overall structure of the area of the plant" as he was "working as a maintenance technician to restore proper operations of a certain area within the plant known as `muller Number 7A.'" (Doc. 3-2. p. 87, ¶ 6).

Here is the accusation, which pretty much covers it

quote:

The plaintiff's complaint specifically asserts that UOP and the three individual defendants negligently and wantonly (1) failed "to provide [Mr. Ward] with a reasonable safe place to work;" (2) failed "to provide reasonably safe equipment and utensils including the controls, actuators, and logic associated with the operation of the . . . muller"; (3) failed "to guard the area beneath the . . . muller in such a way as to prevent workmen in the area from coming into contact with the moving pneumatic piston associated with the dump door closing mechanism for said muller; (4) designed "the control module logic for the . . . muller;" (5) designed the "muller controls so as to permit unanticipated and inadvertent movement and actuation of the door closing piston;" (6) failed to "adequately guard the area of the crush point . . . "; (7) caused, allowed, or authorized "work to continue without adequate tag out and lock out procedures having been initiated;" (8) failed "to appropriately design and initiate adequate lock out and tag out procedures for maintenance work on the . . . muller"; (9) caused or allowed "the dump door closure limit switch to be located in such a position as to expose workmen to the potential of serious bodily injury or death should they inadvertently contact the same;" (10) incorporated "a `limit' switch into the controls and actuators of the . . . muller"; (11) failed "to appropriately guard the remotely located activation switch . . . which was located directly in the path of the pneumatically powered door closure piston;" (12) failed "to appropriately label the aforementioned limit switch in such a fashion as to apprise workmen in the area of the dangers associated with inadvertent contact with said switch;" and (13) failed "to warn the [decedent] . . . of the dangers associated with the limit switch and movement or contact with the same."

It's done because those tracks would tear up the roads in the construction site and construction sites can be huge so even slowly pulling it around like this is more efficient than driving. They're not driving down the interstate like that.

Asphalt paving machines are generally only one lane wide, same with compactors and graders. The edge of the lane being a blend line makes sense.

Not that it would have helped a whole lot, but why was there not a technician in constant observation of the patient? Even if you can't just look through a pane of leaded glass like with an x-ray machine, a video camera with a microphone is not new technology.

The Therac-25 incidents took place in the mid-1980s when a small closed-circuit video camera with a microphone was, indeed, new technology.

I assume also all the regular things like hospital being cheap and not wanting to spring for the device, assuming nothing could go wrong so why do we need to observe them, etc

I do not wear loafers, white khaki shorts, a polo shirt, and a sweater loosely tied around my neck all day, meaning I lack requisite boating knowledge. What did they screw up here, or is it just the natural consequence of the weather conditions and yet another reason that boats are money pits?

You usually put something squishy between the boat and the pier, for the reasons succinctly illustrated in the video.

Basically you need fenders, which are basically plastic tubes (or balls but sausage shapes are more common for boats this size) full of air to get between the boat and the pier. If you look closely you can see a laughably small blue one in the water between the boat and the pier, as well as what looks like a squished white one on the pier itself. That’s not enough of them, nor are they properly positioned to do the job.

The weather does look a bit choppy, though, and this doesn’t look like a well-protected harbor - it IS possible a bad storm blew through and knocked a bunch of fenders out of alignment, but in that case the boat shouldn’t have been parked there to begin with and should have been taken to a more protected harbor (though of course the owner might have either been away or else was too cheap to pay for a better berth, but neither of those options speak to effective boat ownership)

It looks like the docklines are pretty loose as well - in theory the docklines should be tight enough that the boat wouldn’t have been getting shoved from side to side hard enough to be doing this. It’s hard to tell but some of them also look like they belayed (IE tied on) oddly as well. Again, it’s POSSIBLE that this is in the aftermath of a major storm and things didn’t look that bad before, but see above.

My guess is the fork in the jig doesn't have the same geometry as the one on the bike, and he didn't plan the headset stack correctly.
