hypnophant posted:It's been written - Max Gladstone's Craft series, in which gods, priests, mages, and necromancers are all lawyers and, though it may be redundant to say so at this time, also assholes. Two Serpents Rise, which I read last year and sorta remember, is about a water rights dispute in occupied indigenous territory. OSHA content includes a desalinization facility run from the living heart of a dead god, and a pumping station powered by loving with the slumber of the titular Two Serpents. There is a lot more OSHA content than that. There's a city powered by holy steamworks that uses a fire god as the heat source in the first book, and then one of the sequels has a temple inside a live volcano (I think? I remember something about lava having the power to transform people).

I carry a little blacklight in my purse so I can find uranium glass when I go to the thrift store. My goal is to eventually have a china cabinet with blacklights installed so I can have a whole case of glowing green dishes.

I worked in ophthalmology for nine years and this is incredibly common, especially among landscapers. A few work comp cases I can recall, spoilered for the squeamish: --guy who got shot in the head/face during a robbery and needed a bunch of reconstructive surgery --cleaning person sprayed themself in the eye with some chemical which destroyed their contact lens and they had to get it removed in the office --two ER workers who were assaulted by the same patient in the same incident and both ended up with traumatic cataracts --lots of metal debris from welders and pipefitters --roofer with a nail in his eye --mechanic was airing up a tire and it burst, breaking his arm and putting several dozen tiny foreign bodies in his eyes

Pacra posted:I'm not sure what's going on here but it seems OSHA. Anchor chain inspection? They look like Borrowers. Edit: probably the dumbest thing I was involved with at work was convincing my coworker to flush his sinuses out (he had a bunch of sawdust in his nose because he'd been sanding without a mask), only we didn't have a neti pot or anything, so we used a watering can and tap water. I had to hold the watering can because the nozzle was so long he couldn't do it himself. Shockingly he had no ill effects from this.

Cartoon Man posted:https://i.imgur.com/Z8Tt4NS.mp4 I was reading the Carnegie Hero Awards website earlier and it's full of things like this, except instead of police officers, it's just regular people risking (and sometimes losing) their lives to save others. It has 1270 entries under "burning vehicle". This one has a terrifying video that his wife took as he pulled the injured man from the car. quote:Danny Lee Tiger, a 46-year-old administrator, formerly from Ada., Okla., saved Nathan P. Nolen, 43, from a burning truck after a head-on collision with another vehicle on a rural highway the night of June 26, in Ada. Not really OSHA content (although some did take place at work) but just something I thought was interesting.

ReelBigLizard posted:I made my own PPE today. Trying to find solutions for second line medical staff and service workers locally. ER nearly ran out of face shields the other night. The whole DIY PPE thing is terrifying, and it's only gonna get worse. I used to work at an eye clinic which is currently still seeing urgent and emergent patients, and they haven't been able to get masks. Solution? I've been making them fabric surgical masks (at their request) that they can sterilize and reuse, and the fabric I've been using was originally a sheet I got at the thrift store. I know fabric masks only protect at 50% or less but that's better than 0%. It's like those Arab Spring guys using cooking pots as helmets. What a world.

d3lness posted:So talking about RI reminded me of a past job there. In the office area, there were these tiny three foot long mini hallways that lead into each restroom. One of the restrooms on the top floor has a large breaker box sticking out of the wall right next to the entrance. People would routinely put their cups of drink and bottles on top of the breaker box. They eventually put a sign on it telling people to cut the crap. Nobody ever stopped putting their drinks on it. Still hasn't been an accident to this day that I'm aware of somehow. Sounds like it should be topped with that spiky stuff they put on buildings to keep pigeons away.

Ten broken ribs and a punctured lung? No wonder she sounded awful. Anyway, I have a bunch of pictures of missile testing at the Proving Grounds in Yuma, AZ, in 1976-1977 that this thread would probably like, but they're in my google drive and I don't know the most efficient way to host them somewhere. Can you make an imgur album from google drive and if so, how?

CannonFodder posted:In the bad Joplin MO tornado, the one that shifted the hospital from it's foundation, there was a group of people that sheltered in a conveience store walk in beer cooler. They survived but had some cuts and bruises because the tornado still ripped holes in the roof and wall. About two weeks after this happened, I called a doctor's office in Joplin because they'd referred a patient to the practice I worked at, but we never got any records. The conversation went something like: me: Hey can you fax me the last exam? other woman: No, our office is gone. me: Like... gone gone? other woman: Yeah. I don't remember how they still had a phone line, but I do remember writing something in the chart like "All previous records destroyed in tornado". edit: I am still trying to upload all my Yuma Proving Ground pictures to imgur but it will only do a few at a time and there are dozens. Here's a teaser though, featuring my grandfather in the white shirt.

Uthor posted:He built a sewing machine table with non locking casters, too. You'd think you'd wanna keep your tools from rolling around on you when doing precision work, I don't get it. My old sewing machine was very cheap and lightweight and slid around on the table a lot. I got a nicer, heavier one a couple months ago that stays put much better and it's made a huge difference. Having the table itself slide away from me would drive me absolutely insane.
