I like to watch fabrication videos on YouTube—foundrywork, machining, etc. It's fascinating to see how modern factories still use processes like sand molding that are thousands of years old, and have been improved continually.

This is amazing. Those are the type of dudes you don't gently caress with down at the pub. not the biggest looking but they can crush you.

Myanmar is an OSHA hellscape.

Their gas stations are literally just dudes on the side of the road with gas stored in PET bottles.

When the government reclaimed control from the British, they switched to driving on the right side of the road as a big middle finger to the outgoing regime. But they didn't change the cars and still get most of them from Japan, so all the vehicles are right-hand-drive. Overtaking is extremely dangerous as you have to get half into the oncoming lane before you can even see if there's any oncoming traffic. You have to ask your buddy in the passenger seat to look for you. Big trucks use their blinkers to communicate to traffic behind them whether it's safe to pass.

I visited a jungle monastery where the roads were so bad that they took tourists in the back of dump trucks with bench seats welded in the bed. We were told we'd leave the terminus once the truck filled up, but the heat was insufferable, and my friend was rich & impatient, so he bought up all the free seats so we could get out of there. Turns out that was a bad idea. The roads were so bumpy that we almost got thrown from the truck bed multiple times, and the driver later told us that they avoided that by packing in people so tight that they couldn't move.

I remember reading in the Everest thread that people have rappelled off the ends of their ropes because they couldn't be bothered to tie a knot at the end of it.

I consider this OSHA cause I think he was as close as you can get to a full time climber.

The guy steps inside the cabin because the rules say no-one can be in the area outside the cabin while the furnace is being charged. He's stepped inside that cabin dozens if not hundreds of times before, but you didn't see a video about it because nothing dramatic happened.

That sort of thing doesn't usually happen. But the safety rules are written so that if it does, people don't get hurt.

What's all the dark stuff flaking off with each hit? Surely there can't be that much slag in that chunk of iron . . . ? I certainly can't think of what else it might be, though; I don't think pieces of iron/steel would be coming off like that.

Scale. The hot iron oxidizes on contact with atmospheric O2, then that flakes off when they pound it.

I want to know what the guy's dumping in when they start pushing the punch through and why it's catching on fire.

Looks like it's dirt or ash from the ground. Maybe it's to keep the punch from sticking to the metal.

Bubblewrap. Ever wondered how it is made? You have a machine which pours molten plastic down across rollers before air is blown into the sheet. Obviously this involves a lot of heat, pressure, and force. And if the machine goes down the plastic will cool and have to be cut off the rollers by hand before the machinery can start up again.
To avoid that two things are common. One is that maintenance tends to get put off to avoid stopping the machines, the other is that it is standard practice to put things on, and take them off, the machines while they are in motion.

One of my relatives supervises those sorts of machines, and has done for years. Yesterday, during a standard operation he and the other shift supervisor do multiple times per shift (they won't allow the operators to do it because of the dangers), the machine tried to eat him.

While he was fitting something to the rollers the RPM accelerated suddenly from 'safe' human interaction speed, snatching his hand and pulling him off his feet. At the moment we're unsure if it was mechanical failure (see company reticence to stop the lines for maintenance) or error on the part of his partner. But because of insistence by the company's insurer there are cameras watching the machines so we should find out.
And because the Health & Safety Executive (our OSHA) insisted on it as part of a final warning due to the number injuries there, there was a tripwire cut-off installed which by luck his foot caught as he left the ground.

That tripwire probably saved his life, and definitely saved his arm, because it stopped the machine and opened the rollers. So instead of injuries incompatible with human life he simply has an arm broken in three places, with a hole that may or may not be from bone popping through temporarily while said arm was a noodle.

I don't know if it's getting worse, or if I'm just noticing it more, but it seems like every single video of Big Clive's I've watched over the past several months contains at least one segment of him bitching about health and safety regulations. It feels like it's getting worse, with less humorous jabs, and more "those stuffed shirts don't know anything, and are needlessly burdening the working man." A fair amount of the time, he makes sure to work in that these are "EU regulations."

Ever accidentally stand on a piece of rebar or a cutoff from a rack that uses rounded tubing or the axle from a bike that someone's left on the shop floor and have it start rolling, almost dropping you on your rear end?

Imagine willingly putting yourself in that position only there's a hundred and fifty loving feet of nothing below you.

A couple months ago, I was working a valve out in the plant. It's about 10+ feet up and I was pulling the chain to close off the valve. The wheel came loose off the valve stem and fell down, glancing off my wrist and luckily only leaving me a little sore. A couple days before that, I was up in a boom lift with another operator and we were using impact wrenches to put equipment back together. When we were lowering the boom, the basket didn't stay level and tilted as we lowered like it was trying to dump us out of it (about 60 feet up in the air). We had harnesses, but still a little un-fun. Here's the part that came down on my like a vengeance:



That's my recent OSHA related fun
