zedprime posted:The allowance for free climbing is supposedly backed up by incident reports on file which show injuries happen on a greater frequency when clipping in was required for ladders. It sort of makes sense with the realities of fall protection favoring falling from an overhanging surface like a scaffold or roof overhang, because otherwise conservation of angular momentum means even with an arrester you cartoon swing into a wall. I would believe it, I worked in the oilfield for the last few years and it had gotten overrun with safety (lots of rules and paperwork, anyway) during the big oil boom. We had to use fall protection a lot of stupid places where we would've either just hit the ground anyway or cartoon swung, but a lot of people didn't use it in confined spaces accessed through an overhanging hole where it would've worked just fine. I'm lucky my boss had common sense or it would've been miserable, but by the end we were having to carry 5 pairs of task-specific gloves on us the whole time.

Explosionface posted:Yeah, people are always afraid of natural gas explosions, but steam explosions are a hundred times worse. I may be directly attached to the boiler industry and have heard so many stories. There's no real upward limit on the size of the gas explosion though, we only make boilers so big but we have city sized petroleum complexes everywhere

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:The more I read about it the more horrible it sounds. And the more angry I get at what was probably criminal negligence by the crew, either before the fire or after. Sorry for your loss. It's absolutely awful. Civilian vessels are always going to have a very limited ability to respond to incidents once they have occurred, and the smaller and more densely-populated the vessel, the worse it will be. The crew probably did the best they could by abandoning what sounds like an exploding boat; if the passenger accommodation was actually built without a viable escape route the negligence is on the part of the people who designed, approved, and built it that way. It's a huge trend to criminalize seafarers, simply because they are so much closer to the incident scene due to the nature of the profession, but the crew is going to have very little control over what equipment they are working with, and even less control over how the vessel itself is built.

FuturePastNow posted:A Ford Model T was designed and built to have a top speed of about 40 MPH, but if I take one on the Interstate and cause a pile-up I'm pretty sure they won't declare it an act of god. If the Model T was approved for use as a bus and was in common use as a bus on interstates, and you were employed as a bus driver and told to operate it as such, when its actual unsuitability catches up to its legal 'suitability', it's not really on you in the same way.

chitoryu12 posted:I’ve forced drivers to stop tailgating. I once had a friend driving us downtown and she was so close that she’d never avoid a collision. She got snippy when I asked her to slow down and I told her “You may be fine with killing yourself, but I’m not. When I’m in this car you will not endanger me.” If you follow at the "proper" distance people will just swerve into the large gaps you leave unless you are in one of the very few places that aren't basically perma congested now

sharkytm posted:I'm a big fan of full-brim, it helps keep the sun/rain off your neck. Yeah the V-Guard with the Fas-Trac was what we had at the job where all the PPE was really nice (everything else was meh at best and we had to wear denim jeans like animals all summer but man there were nice hard hats and gloves and stuff). I just bought a new one for myself because none of the jobs I go on these days provide anything consistently nice. I had a Bullard full brim in chocolate brown that I liked but no one really sells those because who wants a brown hard hat that isn't a heat-resistant one.
