Whenever it comes time for maintenance instead of opening a bleed valve to safely release pressure this guy just comes along with a wrench and loosens nuts at random until he starts hearing air coming out, and then when it's time to seal it back up he does the opposite: tighten nuts until you don't hear air

I'm not sure I want to Google that term, is it related to having less skin coverage than expected?

going out on a limb here but they may have used chemicals to make syrup less viscous or to break it up completely

The static effects when he holds the camera close. Holy poo poo.
What is he even playing with that can just turn gamma radiation on and off?
Assuming you talk about 2nd video, teenager built his own x-ray source from two vacuum tubes he bought in a giant radio supplies market in Moscow. OSHA part kicks in to it's full extent after 1:30 in the video, when he puts finger under the beam. That finger got 25 sievert radiation equivalent and a 3rd-4th (4th is most severe in Russian classification) degree radiation burn. His right wrist got under the beam as well, and it also was damaged, but doctors were able to fix it.

Idiot must be thanking any gods he is aware of for buying tubes that produce soft radiation.

Do you have an article about this incident?
Only in Russian, unfortunately. Regarding the dose, direct quote is following:

quote:

According to the data from employees of Federal medical biophysical centre, maximum equivalent dose of radiation (20-25 sieverts) fell on the index finger of the right hand.
It is important to note here that they specifically denote that it was just the particular finger that received that much radiation. Examples you bring mostly relate to the radiation dose received by the whole body, where, per same article, 3-5 sieverts would imply a 50% death rate within 2 months.

Sagebrush posted:

Ah, thanks. Google Translate is plenty accurate for an article like this.

Looks like the tubes he found were designed for doing x-ray analysis of materials (welds and the like, I'd guess). It says that the doctors were able to save his "hand" but nothing about his fingat specifically.
Finger likely got amputated, but they don't mention it's fate indeed. As for the "hand", a wrist in particular is meant.

If you're curious about the tubes, BS1 is the first here and the other one is one of these.

Does a 4th degree burn reach bone? I'm just trying to imagine the type of damage those homemade x-rays did.
Yes, 4th degree burn can imply up to (?down to?) necrosis of even bones.

I need to take it easy on this thread. I've been having OSHA related nightmares the last 3 days in a row.
The airplane related ones were by far the worst.
On topic of airplanes, how common are mild crash-related panic attacks during the first flight?

No idea if it's daily occurrence, but description mentions that those are FIFO workers.

Here's another one, that plenty of commenters refer to.

What are you supposed to do in a situation like that, where there is an obvious fire hazard and you can't do anything about it? Evacuate? Call the fire department so they can come over and call you all idiots?
If there are immediate means to safely and reliably eliminate the hazard - do so and call fire department. If there are no such means, immediate evacuation of every living being from the building while calling the fire department.

However, what people are supposed to do and what they actually do often-times differ drastically, hazardous situations notwithstanding.
