Soylent Yellow posted:That's why forklift training courses are 1/5 how to drive the thing and 4/5 for the love of god be careful. They have so much low-gear power that if you're not paying attention you will have impaled anything you hit by the time you notice the collision. That's also why I got trained (an eternity ago) to always drive the forklift around the warehouse backward, tines in back rather than out front. You'd get written up if you drove a forklift forward.

Sockington posted:We had a 39 year old guy die of a heart attack yesterday on-site - a half hour before leaving for the day too A billion years ago I worked at a huge aerospace company at a location where we probably had 10,000 employees. The workforce was largely either over 60 or under 25 (due to the long hiring drought between Skylab and ISS). At least once a year they found some old guy dead in his cube from a heart attack, just some guy who croaked in the evening and who didn't have a wife or anyone curious about him not showing up at home. It was very sad and I decided I was not going to die like that.

Jet Jaguar posted:My grandfather saw early bug zappers and built his own out of two circles of wire mesh. The bugs touched both bits of mesh at once and were incinerated, because he basically used regular 110 current and we were all told not to touch it under any circumstances. drat, now I wonder what happened to that thing, it was magnificent. My father in law had a "worm finder" he built out of a broomstick and an old electric cord. It was a cord he had cut about 15 feet from the plug, and connected each wire to a spike at the far end of the broomstick. Plug it in, stick the spikes in the ground, and watch worms come out of the ground - perfect for fishing. Just don't touch the end of that worm finder or let any of the 5 year old grandchildren find it and try to use it.

Glagha posted:Hell yeah resistant to anesthesia bros. I always have to tell people to stick me again because the first time never takes. Like when I had to get stitches after slicing off the tip of my thumb. Does proper knife use in the home count as OSHA material? Sorry to resurrect this so late, but I am super resistant to anesthesia. I woke up from general during minor surgery once and when I finally was able to utter some sounds the nurse heard and didn't do poo poo. gently caress her. I still remember having that loving surgery. Fun fact: they gave me that memory drug that makes you forget poo poo for the last few hours at the end of the procedure, probably why they didn't knock me out again. My wife and I went home and watched a movie. That stupid drug made me forget all about the movie but not the actual surgery. I'd probably rather die than have surgery and risk that again. And I work at a company that makes surgical tools.

It was not pleasant. Whatever they actually did to me to knock me out, they screwed up badly. gently caress that nurse and those docs.

Applebee123 posted:
I worked at a small company for a while that had a joint development agreement with a billion plus dollar company. We were developing a product for them that was a little outside their usual product line, and they were paying us for that development. The guy at that big company who was our internal champion retired, and then we had a speed bump in development. The retiree's replacement wasn't invested in our program, and suspended it. They promptly forgot about it. That was 10 years ago. The comedy bit is that they paid us a chunk of money and about a million dollars of it sits on that small company's books due to arcane accounting rules. They can't recognize the revenue because the program is suspended, but they can't call up the bigger company and ask for a cancellation because then they'll want that money back. And if they did want to restart, no one on that project is still at the small company. Not OSHA but relevant to the engineering archeology idea.

MausoleumExtremist posted:My sister had an old Volvo with a tire track dented into the roof due to being struck by a low-flying airplane. She never got it fixed and the car wore it as a badge of honor. Don't gently caress around in the glide path of an airport. In high school in Wisconsin, our school bus got clipped once by the landing gear of a Cessna while it was just driving down the highway. There was a short paved landing strip super close to the highway for aircraft. The solution was to put up a sign on the highway to "watch for low flying aircraft." Problem solved!

Jabor posted:
My city hadn't approved a building permit for an apartment complex of more than 10 units for over 30 years until they got sued by the state. Everyone who's got theirs (property they own) do everything in their power to stop new construction in order to keep price appreciation high. The creation of "open space districts" 50 years ago was expressly intended to stop new construction. Supply doesn't increase much, demand increases a lot, prices go up a lot.

Deteriorata posted:No, the rational response would have been to follow the proper procedures per the CBA. You may not be wrong. But that reminds me of a job I worked 30 years ago where some rear end in a top hat was stealing change out of the coffee jar in the break room. We had a thing back then where you were supposed to toss in a nickel or dime or something if you got coffee out of the pot. Someone was stealing the change. HR put a camera out and caught the guy who did it. The union helped him beat the rap (even though he was clearly guilty) and instead of getting fired, he was made the union rep for our location. When people find it perplexing why Americans don't wholeheartedly embrace unions, it's this kind of poo poo.

hobbesmaster posted:He asked a kid's mom for a police report they filed by saying that the detective said she should do it. She kicked him out of her house and called the detective. The detective said that he just spoke to the attorney and the attorney said that the mom had authorized the report's release. While on the phone with the detective, the mother got a phone call from the lawyer asking again for the report saying that he'd just called the detective and the detective said to give the lawyer the report. I am a lawyer, and that's acting in careless disregard of one's bar admission. The thing that stands out to me in the indictment is the false attestation of meeting ASTM standards. Whether the designer had a degree or not is ultimately not that relevant, in part because whoever designs the thing, some third party is supposed to verify compliance with those ASTM standards. That's going to be what sends people to jail.
