I just spent 8 hours in an MSHA mandated safety class and the woman next to me the entire day was a super bitchy engineer and I also didn't win the $50 Chili's gift card because I didn't know where the yellow copy of the 5000-23 went. And it actually took the entire 8 hours like it's legally required to, unlike the 6.5 hours that slacker instructors usually end up giving.

That's a stupid qualifier. The sun's surface is only ~6,000C, but the sun is ~15,000,000C at its core and ~1,000,000C+ in its corona (which surrounds the sun and extends millions of km into space). The sun's surface is the coolest part of or anywhere around the sun by orders of magnitude. To imply that the torch comes anywhere close to the heat of the sun just to get people to go "wow that's hot!!!" is pretty misleading imo.

Oh goodie! We had energy and mines inspectors today at one of our company sites. They are currently seizing documents illegally. Why illegally? They can arrive unannounced and be on site for 15 minutes before being asked to leave. After that they need to make an appointment. So they just ignored the request to leave.

Tomorrow I will have some information about the fallout of a) why they are seizing documents, b) without a warrant c) why no staff stopped them and d) the result of the police call about illegal trespass, theft etc.

Lucky for me I have nothing to do with that part of the company!

I can't argue with or against you on that - been a while since I was up on it, just taking managers word for it. Either way its OSHA scootenfruity. The bosses thinking they are safe and can order inspectors away after 15 minutes (and use that as their way of covering poo poo up) or it's even better the other way.

For real. Any time someone bitches about OSHA being an example of onerous government regulation, its easy to think of all the million CSB investigations where One.Tiny.Thing ended up killing a whole bunch of people. Safety and safe practices are not obvious things - they're the result of a process of trail and error where people have gotten really hosed up/died.

UPDATE:
Site was shutdown by the government today!

There's useful stickling and not so useful stickling though. When you get two or three citations for smoking near a diesel tank when the "evidence" is cig butts that are pretty obviously 4 months old and got pushed there by a snowplow, I'm not so sure it's really doing any good.

But in general I have no problem with MSHA. poo poo like that isn't good, as is the tendency that I've seen where if they "like" you you're in good shape but if they get pissed at you you're totally hosed (i.e. what is really a non issue and either would have been ignored or at best they tell you to fix it and don't write any paper, turns into "I'm gonna write this same citation 14 times.")

It was probably a red headed mouse spider:


Mouse spiders look really similar to funnel web spiders, certainly close enough for people to go "Nope, ain't going anywhere near that fucker, goodbye!" Their venom is pretty darned toxic but there's no record of their bite ever causing a fatality in Australia.

Hydraulic oil certainly can be but that usually requires a pinhole leak from a pressurized line to aerosolize enough of it to go fuel-air, or just spray right on the exhaust manifold. And that's how a big rear end Excavator burns to the ground!

But a dripping leak into a bucket shouldn't be too bad. If the smell of the oil is that nasty it might be gear oil? I dunno.

For serious get some Omega 3 capsules. It has for real non-woo health benefits, and the most common side-effect is fish burps. http://www.webmd.com/healthy-aging/omega-3-fatty-acids-fact-sheet


Fish burps are pretty unpleasant tho.

You want nuclear waste to be touched by absolutely nobody for the rest of all time? Bury it 50 feet underground where there are no natural resources at all. I'm talking about in the middle of the most useless, burned out, patch of worthless desert in the US. Now who the hell is going to bother to exert the effort to dig 50 feet down in an area where they know they are going to get nothing useful and it's uncomfortable to work in? Nobody. The only way someone will find it is if they are walking around with some sort of device that detects radiation, and when they find it they will say, "oh, there are trace amounts of radiation that are 400 times background levels. . . better move along".

Putting some sort of a marker near nuclear waste is the absolutely worst thing you could ever do, as you are literally marking the location and creating interest in the site.

A boss burnt his arm pretty good cutting the lid off an old fuel drum with a plasma cutter. He asked me to do it first and i was like, no way, and took about 20 steps back. As soon as he started cutting a huge jet of flame shot out.

Started working for a new company today that's a manufacturer of supplements. I'm in IT as a web developer and have to do all the OSHA training still. During the walk around with the safety supervisor he told us about a guy cleaning out a machine took off the guard and stuck his hand in to clean it, yeah he get got his arm crushed , I'll stick to IT.

Definitely not applicable here but stuff that's bundled all messy-like stays good for much longer than stuff that's stacked neatly because you get a lot more air circulation. This is especially true for metal stored outside because of loving capillary action.
