Ok so I was told the Osha thread is gonna be goldmined. Looking back the thread is 3 years old- so here are some posts that basically sum up why I like reading the thread:30 Goddamned Dicks posted:Colossal has an Oscar-winning documentary from 1958 on their site, and it's a really awesome 10-minute watch in addition to being a bit of a treasure trove of OSHA moments, such as this one: DrPossum posted:osha sammich for lunch The Archaic posted:Who here loves cable management? Valuable forklift discussion: Megillah Gorilla posted:This may be the least unsafe thing I have ever seen a forklift driver do while screwing around: H110Hawk posted:I never know if table breaking is still bannable. Raskolnikov38 posted:Forklifts are pretty much designed to take out support columns. Lifting things is secondary. chitoryu12 posted:I was reading our forklifts book about how heavy the vehicles are compared to their rated loads. Typical warehouse forklifts look tiny, but they're loving massive in terms of weight because the small sizes necessary to let them maneuver in such cramped spaces eliminates the leverage a longer vehicle with a counterweight at the back would give them. Like a typical industrial forklift (the thing everyone pictures in their head when they hear "forklift") likely weighs over 19,000 pounds but is rated to carry only about 5,000, acting as its own counterweight. Which is also why you sure as hell don't want to end up under one of them if it tips: it may look tiny and fragile, but it'll crush your ribcage without even noticing it's there if you fall out. EKDS5k posted:By default if I see someone driving a forklift my assumption is that they are blind, deaf, and an idiot. If it's running and someone is in the seat, then I'm watching it. Every time I'm around a forklift I think about this thread and the advice given. One thing I appreciate about this thread is the interesting stories and discussions that pop up. To try to keep things brief I'm just gonna keep it to one post for these. Snowglobe of Doom posted:Here's some photos of B17s that got a bit shot up but still managed to make it back home: Powershift posted:Yeah, canada. Ice road truckers is an incredibly sensationalized version of one of the more boring jobs. Yeah they drive across frozen lakes, but they're never the first one down a road. Where they're told to stop and wait for a plow, I was told to chain up and see if we can make it in yet. I've watched a few seasons of that show and i've never seen them need a steering chain, or a situation where they were hooked up to a cat before their first attempt at a hill. Most of the people actually doing the work hate the ice road truckers thing because they do stupid poo poo that gets in the way of people actually making a living like swinging the trailer all over the place because "lol out of control!" or getting stuck and digging holes in the road where you couldn't get stuck unless you tried. pidan posted:Something that's not machines falling over: The Cleveland balloon cloud of 1986!

Yay, I made the front page! This is the best thread, and when I saw that it was closed from my bookmarks page I was very concerned. Goldmining is good, getting a refresh is good, I'll continue plundering the depths of the Australian mining industry for the best fuckups and content.

Comedy equals tragedy plus distance and untagged snuff or gratuitous gore reduces the distance. It's not rocket science and it costs you nothing to tag poo poo.

Am I wrong in thinking this is not as bad as it looks? I know with wood beams you can make holes in the webbing (?) part as long as they don't exceed certain sizes and are properly spaced.

Yay, i made the OP. Here is some stuff i don't know if i've posted in OSHA About 1 in the morning, we're driving on a rollercoaster of a road that's sheer ice. the banking of the turns is really the only thing keeping us going. I was coming in hot, like hot hot. Like, i did 2 more loads than anybody else on that job. coming down the one hill i lost traction, and couldn't get my wheel speed to match the road speed again because it's pitch black and i can't really tell how fast i'm goiing. I know there's a little bit of a ditch beofre the cutline, so eventually i just have to floor it and hop through the ditch onto the cutline. I hopped out, basket chained(chained up without moving the truck), and backed the truck out before anybody even noticed. You can see the dirt where the truck started sinking into the cutline. Battery bad? Suspension clunk? Some serious OSHA. I took this picture because of the cloud if fine sand these dudes were working in. Hard hat, fireproof coveralls, safety glasses, all required. Then they walk around in this cloud of frac sand with no breathing protection, i guess because they think they're tougher than silicosis. you can see the haze of sand floating over the trucks. Just remember, just because it doesn't hurt right now doesn't mean it's never gonna Powershift fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Nov 23, 2019 |

We rang in the start to peak season when a driver in our district practiced hand to surface technique as "it was in my hand - now it's on a surface" and killed a dog by slinging a package over a fence - https://nypost.com/2019/11/20/yorkie-crushed-by-fedex-driver-who-threw-package-over-fence-family-says/ This going to make for a lot of extra safety meetings when everyone is really thinking, "would it be irony if it had been a Chewy.com box?"

None of our poo poo gets recorded. We just chuck em. I saw it happen once. A nurse re-opened a bag and fished out a removed catheter because she forgot to note what size it was when they attempted to re-catheterize the patient. Yes she placed it up against the patients penis to-make sure it fit. I reported her which only resulted in me being the bad guy.
