It's wired up to a monitor and/or projector elsewhere in the room, usually.

Or another room. Like in an operating room where as much as possible must be sterile it's nice to have such hard-to-clean dust traps outside, typically with just a touchscreen in the OR itself, often with disposable foil wrapping.

More fun about the bridge, looks like the land owner had not applied for any permits or approvals for the work at all. It's both a known hazardous area with a lot of clay + the stream running in that small valley is protected because of the fish in it.

Sounds slightly like what happened in Delaware last summer. A contractor was dumping dirt in a pile against the support of a bridge over the Christina River. It eventually pushed a column out of line and started cracking it. Thankfully it was noticed before it hurt anyone.

My dumb OSHA story:

When I was about 13 years old I was with my dad while he was running errands and he had to stop in to the warehouse of the pool table and general pub/fun game place he works at. There was a customer there who was picking up a pool table or something that he had to put together. However, for some reason it was stacked on top of the warehouse shelving in an area where the forklift couldn't get the forks underneath it and lift it up. This customer worked in construction, so my father, in his infinite wisdom, had the customer get in the forklift and drive it, and my dad stood on the two forks of the forklift as it lifted him about eight feet in the air. Then, he bent over and slid the table onto the forklift, then stood on the pool table that was on the forklift while the customer turned the forklift around and lowered the table.

I didn't know much about jobs or workplace standards or anything like that yet, but I was old enough to know that what I was seeing was absolutely ridiculous.

I used to temp at a small company warehouse where one day the VP tried getting me to stand on a forklift and go up on a shelf to count some merch because they were to lazy to get it down. I basically said lol no and when they threatened to let me go if I didn't, my manager informed the VP that he used to work for OSHA and just mayyyyyyybe they'd like to hear about this and some other stupid poo poo going on in the warehouse.

When they went to get the pallet down later that day the forklift driver moved back too far and clipped a sprinkler line which soaked quite a few shelves :v:

quote:

The accident flight was not recorded. The GoPro recordings revealed that the pilot and various passengers were taking self-photographs with their cell phones and, during the night flight, using the camera’s flash function during the takeoff roll, initial climb, and flight in the traffic pattern.

quote:

Based on the wreckage distribution, which was consistent with a high-speed impact, and the degraded visual reference conditions, it is likely that the pilot experienced spatial disorientation and lost control of the airplane. The evidence is consistent with an aerodynamic stall and subsequent spin into terrain. Based on the evidence of cell phone use during low-altitude maneuvering, including the flight immediately before the accident flight, it is likely that cell phone use during the accident flight distracted the pilot and contributed to the development of spatial disorientation and subsequent loss of control.

A bunch of oil refinery workers are on strike. Collectively they'll be shutting down about 10% of the US's gasoline production capacity.

http://www.ibtimes.com/oil-refinery-strike-steelworkers-strike-against-big-oil-nine-plants-across-country-1803888

One of the key issues is excessively long working hours (like, 15+ days of 12+ hours a day straight) and safety conditions (there have been a slew of accidents lately, many involving injuries and a few fatalities).

During the stoppage, managers are doing the jobs of the workers, which is obviously perfectly safe and not a problem at all, one assumes.

This terrifies me cause the same can happen in my industry and I'm in no way as experienced and capable of driving a haul truck as someone who's done it for 20 years. Basically any time you make the managers with college degrees run equipment productivity is going to drop like a rock and people are gonna gently caress up.

Process Safety Management requires formal training for any operations job on covered processes (ie everything in a refinery) so scabs are technically held to the same standards as any green operator. Pay no attention that formal training isn't independently accredited and the main criteria during safety audits is "training exists y/n."

Management and engineer scabs are usually sufficient for normal operation but it starts getting terrifying on safety and efficiency standpoints during start-ups or preparing for major maintenance work. If something goes on long enough there's contract scabs too, which can know a lot about chemical operations to help during the crazier stuff, while coming along with the baggage that there's often a reason they are doing contract work and don't have permanent employment.

Saying that "plane clips bridge and crashes" is not like "Titanic clips iceberg and sinks." That looks like a pretty horrendous stall unless the distortion is throwing the angle off, poor bridge just happened to be in the way of crashing plane.
