Oh don't worry, I'm not exactly a friend of his but I'll send him a txt to get every photo he takes. Obviously that's not safe for the thread because it might dox him. But trust me, if I get the dailies it will be pretty much lotto win if he gets fired seeing he has an independant timestamp of when photos were taken (and geolocation from whatever smartphones do now)

Can any of you experts explain the value of prescription safety glasses/goggles over just wearing goggles over your glasses? I've never understood the point

The Lone Badger posted:

* Far more comfortable
* the safety glasses sit closer to the face and thus leave less gap for debris to enter
* issued safety glasses are often made of a crappy plastic that scratches super quickly and after a few weeks you're peering through fog. You can have prescription glasses made out of a high-refractive-index material that is extremely hard and never scratches.
* nobody will 'borrow' prescription safety glasses

My eyeglass prescription is so hilariously complicated that any kind of transparent material in front of them causes me to have real problems with my spatial orientation (from regular safety goggles over my glasses I get a "fishbowl" effect). Not something you want to have to deal with say when you're running a chainsaw. Also, fogging. For some reason, my regular glasses under the goggles will fog relentlessly. Maybe I have excessive eye humidity, I dunno.

They're lighter.
They don't slide down your nose.
They're clearer.
They don't reflect extra light back into your eye. That is super fatiguing.
Two sets of temples and earpeices are less comfortable than one.
They're easier to clean.
They actually fit. When you get prescription glasses you can choose frames that measure closer to your street frames.


When you wear safety goggles over your glasses it goes something like this: "here are your safety goggles, put them on."

There's regulations for the type of eye protection you need for specific activities and environments. The giant high school chemistry lab goggles aren't necessary for a lot of stuff and they're incredibly uncomfortable to wear for long amounts of time. Impact protection and a certain (generally low) level of splash protection are all that is required at most of the industrial sites I've worked at and those characteristics are easy to translate into comfortable prescription frames that encourage people to actually wear them.

Wear your eyepro.

Whatever about the guy drowning in a giant vat of shite piss cum and blood, gently caress having to scuba dive into that poo poo. Zero visibility.

Hazmat diving is pretty hardcore. The only thing crazier is nuclear diving but there’s some overlap there.

I work in an R&D lab so I only need to wear eyepro for 5 minutes once a week when I'm drilling or dremeling something. It makes sense that you'd need something more comfortable if you're wearing them all the time or you have a wack prescription

I'm impressed the divers found him in only eight minutes. I wonder if having divers on hand, suited up, and ready to go was part of the requirements for the work permit?

Sewer pit guy was loving dead when his body was recovered. Saying he initially survived the ordeal doesn't tell the correct story. The correct story is on scene EMS/Paramedic(s)/EMTs didn't have the protocols to allow them to pronounce death in this type of incident so had to do CPR until getting to an ER where a MD could call it.

Isn't the only thing an EMT can pronounce dead is "injuries incompatible with life"?

Depends on jurisdiction. Some places won't even let them pronounce that IIRC from the old EMS horror story thread.

Rural Texas won't allow an EMT to pronounce poo poo. It's the JP's job to kick the corpse and see if it kicks back.

I'm guessing if they got him out in under 10 minutes and worked on him for a while as per protocol, they probably got a rhythm back after pushing adrenaline and had to continue to bring him to hospital. Even though he was dead as gently caress, the little squiggly line on the lifepak says "heart activity" so you gotta stabilise and go despite you knowing the chances of him making it are essentially zero.

Kazy posted:

This is generally the case for EMT's. Paramedics would not have transported if they could help it. 20 minutes CPR to no avail and they just stop and pronounce death. Although EMS in the US can be very archaic so who knows.
Either way I'd hate to be the crew who had to deal with such a mess.

Manure pits are very OSHA ways to die, and horrible for the survivors, but blessed relief that you'll black out in seconds before you drown in the stuff in a matter of minutes.

If you fall in, there's only body recovery, no rescuing :shrug:
