zedprime posted:He's wearing a fall protection harness and its hard to see what its attached to, but its speculation at that point whether he's wearing it right. Instead we can criticize the job planning in assuming the path to carry the unit was clear, otherwise this probably should have involved a block and tackle. yeah, it gets worse https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=878987008813404&fref=nf

Shalebridge Cradle posted:As a counter example here is an actual Hollywood style car explosion in real life. You know what explodes pretty much on par with it's Hollywood depiction? Compressed gas cylinders. No pictures but probably the most OSHA thing I ever saw was during a student riot in 2009ish in Montreal where some geniuses got their hands on an big rear end acetylene tank and intended on using it as a battering ram. I was there with a friend to log some first aid hours and after a few seconds of pure  we went over and explained to the guys in no uncertain terms that we were taking it away.Incidentally riot police will still give you all kinds of gently caress you looks when you approach them slowly and explaining clearly your intention of transferring what is essentially a bomb to them for disposal.

Yermaw Zahoor posted:Guy chops of his hand (and half his forearm) Pain is weird sometimes, during one of my surgeries the local aesthetic wasn't correctly applied and I ended up making unholy sounds, kicking a poor nurse and passing out from the searing white pain. Strange thing is I didn't feel the first few cuts because a) this wasn't my first OR rodeo and b) I saw the anaesthetics being injected and felt the burning tingle of them being diffused IM. I guess my brain convinced itself that it couldn't be pain it was feeling in the first few seconds until the scalpel dug deep enough. Same goes for people I treated as a first aid responder, especially in cases of blunt force head trauma. Concussions & shock do fucky things to your pain perception.

chitoryu12 posted:I'd honestly be really impressed if my kid wrecked part of the house and his response was "Completely rebuild it before I notice." This happened to me a couple times and yeah the reaction was generally favourable. A friend had parents that often left for 3-4 days so there were a bunch of house parties over there and there were of course a bunch of damage over the years. When a wall got wrecked for example we cut it open, reset a proper gypsum panel between two beams, plastered, sanded twice and primed the wall. Kind of a double take moment when you come home and one of your walls is now white but hey could be worse. After a few years we build up an actually impressive cache of repair consumables and tools over there and the "core" group got really defensive about protecting the property when parties got out of hand. Of course the whole thing was OSHA as gently caress because this was a few years before the ubiquity of DIY videos on youtube so imagine a bunch of hung over kids trying to figure that stuff out from old rear end home repair books picked at random in a panic from the library, playing with power tools.

bitcoin bastard posted:There was a pretty hosed up picture I saw once where some dude in a Corvette rear ended a tractor trailer. All the pic showed was his new convertible and a red splotch about head height on the back of the trailer. Someone I was giving a lift to once asked me why I kept a ~10 second distance with trailer trucks (instead of the recommended 3) or why I floored it when passing them. This thread has pretty much confirmed I'm in the right.

Personal OSHA: between me and office exit door #1 a couple guys are doing soldering on the sprinkler system, between me and office door exit door #2 there are a couple of dusty, mouldy water damaged archival boxes, blocking said door. Oh hey, that café is still barely within range of the office wifi, looks like i'm working remotely today.

Jerry Cotton posted:A bloo bloo I'm too weak to move some boxes even though it would improve everyone's safety a bloo bloo I would, but we compressed the entire content of an office in a space ~5% of the original surface because we're also redoing the floors. It's literally a solid mass of floor to ceiling, wall to wall stuff. There's no where else to put it, it really shoud've been taken off site because why the hell do we still have boxes of documents from 1997. I'll snap a pic when I need to come back in and grab a thing from the printer

ReagaNOMNOMicks posted:ETA on floor collapsing from boxes pressure please? Considering the contractors working below the floor are knocking out walls and have questioned audibly on a few occasions if the thing they just removed was load bearing? Also I heard one of them mumble something about asbestos so yeah I'll be working from home, anyway with the AC has been on the fritz for a week and with the announced 45C/113F tomorrow I'd be kinda pissed if what kills me is a heat stroke.

Jerry Cotton posted:Well I can tell you what we did with all the documents from 2007 in 2010: chucked them in a locked bin which was then taken to be incinerated. Anything pre-2008 can burn. Most of the 5 following years can burn as well. I wrote a significant portion of the last 2 so of course that can go as well.

Ak Gara posted:Twice a week at work they do a system test for the fire alarms. "Just ignore it when it goes off" Said a manager. "Stand around for 5 minutes waiting to see if it turns off" said another manager. We had work done in my apartment that triggered the fire alarm many time per day for a few weeks straight. We started out with really bad participation (I think I saw ~10 people outside on the first one out of 60-80) and by the end literally no one made the effort. A month later we failed a municipal inspection because only a handful of us figured that since the contractors had left maybe it wasn't them. Few months later an actual fire broke out in the middle of the night and only 6 people bailed. The building's super had to run from door to door banging on them like a lunatic to get people up, and even with some smoke in the common areas people were apparently unconvinced.

chitoryu12 posted:School evacuation drills always seemed like the absolute worst idea, because they're focused around gathering everyone in a single large place (or several places) to wait out the danger. It makes the assumption that anyone planning on doing damage to the student body would just attack the school building itself and either set off a bomb in an empty classroom or mill about with their gun wondering where everyone had gone until the police came and/or they commit suicide. Fire exit chat: a place I studied at was really, really bad. The cafeteria was batshit insane:  #1-5 are the exits, all identified properly. #2 was mostly inaccessible in ideal conditions because maintenance left enough rolling garbage bins to blockade the door up to the main corridor, conveniently taking a fire extinguisher out of the equation. In a panic there's no way #2 is usable. A & B are the seated areas. They have a legal capacity of 726 people combined, but had seating for twice that and on peak hours held 4x that if you add foot traffic. Black is the work space of the cafeteria itself, which removes what could've been door #6&7. Orange leads back to the rest of the campus. Door management was done via good old padlocks, and #1 through #5 were locked after 7PM, more on that later. You could argue that a padlock and brackets isn't really worse than a lock in the door itself, but if someone wants to lock the doors to commit a crime or whatever all they have to do is bring half a dozen locks and they effectively deny access to exits, versus having to tamper with a door lock or block the exits. As I said, 7PM. Regular classes were held from 8 to 6, but iirc a couple thousand students were there from 6 to 11 at night, plus a decent contingent of maintenance staff and others. Of the 14 exits for the entire campus 12 were padlocked from 7PM onwards. Of course all 14 are still identified as exits, so good luck figuring out where to go if you're not familiar with what's what. Oh, and instead of dropping a couple hundred thousand on a proper redo of the door management, they kept burning literal millions of dollars chasing the LEED dream (despite portions of the building being over a century old, and anything behind the walls being a mess of spaghetti logic piping which haemorrhaged energy and heat) by doing multi-year reno projects like replacing the HVAC system with a sealed convection setup that was hilariously bad or waterless urinals, so of course there wasn't money left for actual critically urgent needs. I could go on, but yeah the place was a loving death trap.

Here's a little something that the thread might enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOzrJjdZDRQ Fair warning it's 2 hours, but it touches on elevator OSHA and also gives a pretty good overview of a whole bunch of neat insider information.

The Mentalizer posted:One of the most incredible sounds I've ever heard was made by (accidentally) dropping a 9 foot Steinway piano on the floor. The combination of the crash and just about every hammer striking at the same time was one of the most unique things I've ever heard (as well as being a bit panic inducing, seeing as how it was a rental) and I wish I had a recording of it.  I helped a few friends move over the years and pianos always scared the poo poo out of me. You can rough handle an oven to some extent but a piano, ha.

Samuel posted:IŽd expect people to run faster than that when a firestorm of gas leaks erupts, or am I just in good shape and sense? I'm sure this is (or should be) covered in some safety procedure, but my first thought looking at that video was "where the hell do you run to?". The big, open spaces probably saturated with explode-y vapours or the structures full of pipes filled with explode-y everything else?

Here's a thought: that digger got ripped off the flatbed that was carrying it, if it was something actually welded onto the vehicle that hit the overpass it probably would've punched straight through.

Leperflesh posted:He would have floated on top of the much, much more dense molten metal. This is also what happens when you fall onto molten lava: you sink into it like an inch or two at most, because humans are only a little more dense than water, and molten lava (or steel) is a hell of a lot more dense than that. That'd be true for a still pool of liquid, but with a pour in progress, heh, seems like good conditions to have a uniform high carbon steel. Happens often enough, it seems: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2566987/Japanese-plant-worker-dies-13-tonnes-molten-metal-heated-1-300C-spilled-him.html http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1994-04-23/news/1994113032_1_wayne-thompson-beth-steel-molten-metal http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17075481

Do It Once Right posted:If you're a first responder in a really nasty case, are you supposed to say anything different if a guy has young kids? Honestly? Someone with proper trauma counselling training should take care of those details. If it happens that you come into contact with the family just offer your condolences and refer upwards. This being said, yeah, some details should be skipped. The nursing thread has a particular gem about this: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3469571&pagenumber=48&perpage=40#post427104383 The nursing thread is chock full of OSHA, but it'll rip your soul out of you.
