Or they might just be confused about where their car is, if there's multiple exits. Or the smoke could be so bad that they couldn't get to their car because of breathing problems.

Like at a certain point you gotta start thinking, maybe this is a ladder situation? Or maybe not. Got to admit, never built an ornate mountain path before. who am i to judge.

Reminds me how Marina Abromovic and her partner were going to walk the entire Great Wall as an art piece. The Chinese govt realized that no Chinese person had done it before, so they delayed Abromovic for years and scrambled to have some poor local railway clerk do it first. https://publicdelivery.org/marina-abramovic-the-lovers-the-great-wall-walk/ Guess it was half the wall. Three months of walking.

Pretty sure I beat this end boss in some random early 90's platform shooter game. Trick is, don't fire randomly, just go for one segment first, and after one segments gone then all the rest become much easier. Anyway hope this helps.

No JPEG but had a safety guy from the higher ups come in and demand that someone in a… imagine a one man scissor lift, that’s close enough, tie off a fall ARREST, not restraint, system. To the GUARDRAIL OF THE loving LIFT. I wrote a gigantic email explaining OSHA and company fall protection standards and exactly why that is loving insane and way worse than just having someone in a goddamn scissor lift. And at the heights they were working at there was basically zero protection from a fall arrest system, it might slow them down a bit but they were hitting the floor if they fell.

Slanderer posted:someone getting fired? Also yes, it took me about fifteen days to find them via snitches and cameras, and another day or two while dealing with some other Serious Paperwork to get the “please fire this person into the loving sun” process approved. One thing that gets me full Captain Ahab is subverting a safety device. That’s when people learn I can’t be bargained with, I can’t be reasoned with. I don’t know pity, remorse or fear. And I will not stop, EVER, until they are fired. (When I was here for five weeks on a short term training assignment there was so much terrible poo poo going on I was known as “The Terminator” from all the firings- stuff like climbing on racking, playing tag in forklift racking, etc)

Ugly In The Morning posted:No JPEG but had a safety guy from the higher ups come in and demand that someone in a… imagine a one man scissor lift, that’s close enough, tie off a fall ARREST, not restraint, system. Requiring tie off with arrestors in a basket then becomes a way to back up those administrative controls with a more conservative approach. Similar to how 5ft has largely become the working at heights standard instead of the OSHA specified 6. Also similar to 5ft heights, many arrestors assume 6 ft (ripstich especially) and when you're working at minimum height you need to be really careful with lanyard slack. If your complaint is you aren't getting the tools to enable safe compliance at the lower end of height work, then phrase it that way. The safety bean counter approach to anything at height is going to lean toward fall arresting just because throwing on your harness is a low burden. It only takes like 5 minutes to inspect and don your harness. Of course if you don't have enough harnesses and training that's a different complaint again.

zedprime posted:Maybe I'm imagining the wrong thing and anyway this comes up occasionally in the thread as contentious. But while equipment baskets can be qualified as an area of fall restraint it requires a degree of administrative control by the worker not to jerk around the basket during the work activity and ensure the base isn't going anywhere ex. it's protected from other equipment traffic. Besides just basic no poo poo stuff like don't abuse the guardrails. This was a “any fall impact will clearly tip the machine” situation with an improvised tie off (that wasn’t even a proper knot) so they could operate outside the basket.

Basically the guy is a talented administrator but his actual implementation is lacking- he has only a year and a half of safety experience, mostly routine warehouse stuff, and thirty years of experience with finance on Wall Street. My last job was heavy construction safety with a lot of work at heights.

"But it gonna tip it" is a simple weight capacity review. I think it depends on the arrestor but its something like 3-5 times the weight of the worker is what will be experienced at the tie off point during the duration of the arrest with some safety factor built in if you are in a situation where you swing. I know common JSAs for working at height will specify the safety factor for tie offs to mobile equipment. Most equipment will rate for enough for a human to tie off knowing its a widely used practice but may leave you without weight for tools and parts. If your equipment varies capacity based on its configuration i.e. reduced due to extension or rotation and you're in a configuration that the arresting weight is out of capacity that's a gently caress up of its own. I'm still kind of confused if the complaint is he's too strict or not strict enough or just confusingly in the middle. The words improvised and knots together with outside the basket are huge red flags but I'm also reading somehow an alternative is working inside the basket completely? To be clear on my preferences, in order of state of the art: tied off in the basket > in the basket > tied off to the basket working outside >>>>>>>>> somehow lanyarded to the basket with knots for some reason
