It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Companies knew about issues with asbestos in like the 1920s and it didn't get banned until the early 80s I believe.

is it a landslide or what?

The video quality kind of sucks, but I figured it could be ice/frost heaving.

Essentially you get a huge amount of pressure from flowing water freezing and shoving the earth around.

Seems awfully high for a truck.

Doesn't look like it would be that much higher than a trailer.

I'm looking to get into HVAC, because I'm a giant poo poo. Will OSHA be my greatest enemy... or my greatest ally???

I am currently in HVAC as a project manager. How much you even need to worry about OSHA depends on what part of the business you're getting into. In general though OSHA is your friend and they are around to keep you safe. Major general contractors across the US all have more stringent safety measures than OSHA does anyway. If you're planning to own/run an HVAC business then you might hate OSHA because there will be paperwork and records to keep that need to get reported in to OSHA on a regular basis.

My new job installing solar panels is delightfullly osha thread compliant...can anyone speak to proper roofing harness and ladder safety laws, because I'd really like to be safe on a roof but the guy showing me the job is this guy who eats two hotdogs a day and has almost fallen off a roof twice infront of me

You'll probably want to read this.

https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3755.pdf

Ladders are definitely covered under OSHA. You need to make sure that your ladder extends three feet (essentially three rungs) above the surface you're stepping on to, and it should be tied off to keep it from moving. Make sure you know the proper angle to put up the ladder too. OSHA requires fall protection once you're 10 feet above the ground, although this may be different if you're classified as a roofer. I don't remember exactly, but OSHA allows for different fall protection rules for steel works and roofers I believe. You will need to be tied off if you're on the roof, since I guarantee you'll be over 10'. This doesn't apply if there is a guard rail, or a parapet wall that is at least 42" high. Good luck getting your employer to do this stuff though, I know most local roofing companies pretty much never abide by this stuff.

Why the gently caress was there a daycare nearby?? Do these people think zoning laws are infringing on their freedoms or what??

Texas barely knows what the word zoning means.
