lmao one of the last weeks everyone still worked together before the final cuts as the last plant I worked at was shutting down, my tech went out to smoke a cigarette on his scheduled break. Like all the smoking areas at manufacturing plants here, the smoking area was infested with skunks.

Well, something bad happened, and he came inside and took a lap around the plant before he told our supe he was out for the night 2 hours in, got his poo poo out of his locker, and then threw me a big peace sign as I was making "IS THAT YOU?" hands across the plant at him.

I thought it was real funny, as did he.

Why are those office idiots saying I need to unload from the top? This lift is crazy slow and my supe is already yelling at me about the line being empty. Screw it, I'll just grab the one right next to me on the bottom to shut him up. There, done with the row and nothing went wrong, I knew those trainers were just being paranoid. Raise the lift one level, we're just going bottom to top - easy mode!

They are kiln shelves. The kiln melts steel. Ceramics are all you can use. So it is ceramic posts and ceramic shelves and a bunch of just fired toilets. I bet the kiln walls and roof are hanging overhead base on that rig. Stack the raw toilets, lower the kiln and fire it. Let it cool slowly to prevent cracking. Raise the kiln and use the platforms to unstack. I've done pottery kilns but never anything close to that scale.

They made whole rear end (preemptive lol) toilets, they can make shelves that have pegs and slots.

There are issues with expansion and contraction if you fit parts together with something like pegs and slots in ceramic kiln temps. The shelf would be more likely to bust in the kiln if you tried that.

The issue, and likely cause of the house of toilet cards fall, is the bottom shelves are empty. Maybe they were never loaded, or more likely those dudes unloaded the bottom first, but if the bottom was loaded the weight of it would have provided stability, and not allowed the whole shelf structure to fall.

Kilns are loaded bottom to top, and should be unloaded the reverse of that. It is less work to build modular kiln shelves around what's being fired than try to load into an existing shelf (because the shelf has to be made of ceramic materials, which breaks easily).

I’m sorry but I don’t agree with this. Kiln best practices are bullshit if this is the best practice. Expansion and contraction are known entities in any practice, kiln operators don’t get a pass because their poo poo is really loving hot.

What was the plan to take the 2nd row of toilets off? If it was “new guy should be really careful” then the plan is bullshit.

I don’t hear about kiln toilet jenga every day so obviously who ever set that up did something wrong.

I think it's "Take apart the jenga tower by taking the pieces at the top first and working down" instead of "Remove most of the pieces from the bottom first, then try the top ones"

The toilets weren’t load bearing. The gently caress up happened because the dude leaned over and dragged the toilet instead of lifting (from his waist).

The shelves are supposed to be disassembled as you unload. The top row would be cleared, and the second row would then be the new top. The platform they're on moves up and down, and to the middle. As it's unloaded everything will just get taken apart.

Like I said, it's probably not the person who set it up, it's the people (those two dudes) disassembling it.

If there had been toilets in the lower shelves the worst that would have happened would have been that the shelf section (that one the pulled) fell and damaged the toilet below it.

The weight of the bottom toilets should be there to stabilize the shelves. They weren't, for some reason, so the shelves were not stable.

Coulda been a shift change, too, dudes unloaded the bottom, went home, dudes came in, decided to do stupid poo poo on top of stupid poo poo and found out

Hard disagree again but I don’t have the context to continue.

Putting people in the position where one bad movement causes that much stock to be destroyed isn’t the best idea. People will gently caress up, especially when heavy poo poo is involved.

E: <3 no offense meant or taken, enjoyed the discussion.

I mean, it's like if you have a warehouse full of metal shelves. You don't load them from the top. You don't leave your heaviest items on top. But this thread has plenty of videos where a warehouse is destroyed cause someone loaded one shelf top-heavy, and some unlucky person pumped it with a forklift. It happens, gently caress ups happen, and what happened to these two dudes is a prime example.

Ironhead. Mmm.


Alot of best practices are bullshit. . .but that doesn't mean they aren't the best option given the available resources.

I almost crushed 6 people with an 800lb steel framed wall today. We were doing everything correctly, and safely.

I work on Broadway shows. A fault in the automation rig caused a (very brief, seconds) delay. This caused a group of actors to end up in the wrong place on stage, at the wrong time. Stage manager threw a cue light to call in the flown wall, when it wasn't safe to do so.

Luckily I had heard the word "fault" and being a Head Carp, and automation tech myself (although not on this particular show) I knew it meant there was something loving up in the automation rig, and that the moving deck pieces wouldn't be in the right place. I was able to see on a nearby monitor that performers had abandoned their blocking, and were under the piece.

Cue light went off, I held the cue (not my job to make those kinds of calls, and in theory could be fired for it). Was able to hammer it in when it was clear and get us caught up.

Sometimes best practices are just the nature of the industry. If a less experienced flyman had been on the piece, they probably would have done their job and brought that wall in right on top of those kids.
