I am listening to it and they have nothing nice to say about us here at the Something Awful forums. I should just post the link to the video.

Was there any hazcom? On the package or paperwork signed to receive. It would have to be incredibly dumb and bad hazcom if a secretary can ignore it in favor of refrigerated storage instructions on the package.

Secretary's fault entirely depends on that, they shouldn't be authorized to goods receive anything they can't actually action on hazard management. But they need to know that to reject it until an actual inventory person can handle it Send it back with the courier in that case.

If it's just like a box with refrigeration needed on it, the safety failures are compound above their head. If the department receives refrigerated stuff like this often they probably need a goods receipt fridge to stash poo poo till inventory does their thing.

It may not be 100% on point for the OSHA thread, but Shadow Divers is a good read. It's about people diving an extremely dangerous wreck at record breaking depths. They were basically blackout drunk for the few minutes they could stay at the depths they were driving from Nitrogen Narcosis. (Nitrogen narcosis starts at 100ft deep, roughly. They were driving at 230'-240')

Oh, and they later started experimenting, as "hobbyists," with new gas mixtures. You don't need to know a whole lot about diving, or just living tbh, to know that "loving around with gas mixtures and creating your own dive tables" is real cowboy poo poo. These dudes were reading US Navy studies from like the 50's and trying to replicate them for "recreational" dives.

3 people died

2 marriages ended because of the obsession

It took 7 years to identify the wreck of a U-Boat 60 miles off the US shore that both Americans and Germans denied the existence of.

It likely sunk itself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-869

This is the first I’ve heard of them and the thumbnail alone made me recoil. Nope nope nope!

I can see it being a useful tool for chainsaw wood carvers, but beyond that a terrible idea.

quote:

For years, managers at Austal USA’s shipyard in Mobile privately fretted about the danger of a tool they’d modified from its intended use. In an email three years earlier, Chris Blankenfeld, the company’s top safety manager, called the machine a “Widow Maker.”

“These millers are quite literally an accident waiting to happen,” he wrote to company officials, referring to the tool by its shipyard nickname.

He was right. At least 53 Austal workers have been injured by the tool, losing fingers and suffering deep gashes on their faces, necks and arms, according to injury logs from January 2011 to March 2015 obtained by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting.
