Ok so I was told the Osha thread is gonna be goldmined. Looking back the thread is 3 years old- so here are some posts that basically sum up why I like reading the thread:30 Goddamned Dicks posted:Colossal has an Oscar-winning documentary from 1958 on their site, and it's a really awesome 10-minute watch in addition to being a bit of a treasure trove of OSHA moments, such as this one: DrPossum posted:osha sammich for lunch The Archaic posted:Who here loves cable management? Valuable forklift discussion: Megillah Gorilla posted:This may be the least unsafe thing I have ever seen a forklift driver do while screwing around: H110Hawk posted:I never know if table breaking is still bannable. Raskolnikov38 posted:Forklifts are pretty much designed to take out support columns. Lifting things is secondary. chitoryu12 posted:I was reading our forklifts book about how heavy the vehicles are compared to their rated loads. Typical warehouse forklifts look tiny, but they're loving massive in terms of weight because the small sizes necessary to let them maneuver in such cramped spaces eliminates the leverage a longer vehicle with a counterweight at the back would give them. Like a typical industrial forklift (the thing everyone pictures in their head when they hear "forklift") likely weighs over 19,000 pounds but is rated to carry only about 5,000, acting as its own counterweight. Which is also why you sure as hell don't want to end up under one of them if it tips: it may look tiny and fragile, but it'll crush your ribcage without even noticing it's there if you fall out. EKDS5k posted:By default if I see someone driving a forklift my assumption is that they are blind, deaf, and an idiot. If it's running and someone is in the seat, then I'm watching it. Every time I'm around a forklift I think about this thread and the advice given. One thing I appreciate about this thread is the interesting stories and discussions that pop up. To try to keep things brief I'm just gonna keep it to one post for these. Snowglobe of Doom posted:Here's some photos of B17s that got a bit shot up but still managed to make it back home: Powershift posted:Yeah, canada. Ice road truckers is an incredibly sensationalized version of one of the more boring jobs. Yeah they drive across frozen lakes, but they're never the first one down a road. Where they're told to stop and wait for a plow, I was told to chain up and see if we can make it in yet. I've watched a few seasons of that show and i've never seen them need a steering chain, or a situation where they were hooked up to a cat before their first attempt at a hill. Most of the people actually doing the work hate the ice road truckers thing because they do stupid poo poo that gets in the way of people actually making a living like swinging the trailer all over the place because "lol out of control!" or getting stuck and digging holes in the road where you couldn't get stuck unless you tried. pidan posted:Something that's not machines falling over: The Cleveland balloon cloud of 1986!

Saying goodbye to the 11-foot-8 bridge ATP_Power posted:Just remember the good times: Lastly: Mod edit: Just as a reminder link and stuff that show obvious death occurring. Gratuitous gore will not be allowed. Discussion here. Mod edit 2: Make a new thread if you post three pages of derail stuff. Like the volunteer fire thing could be a total thread by itself for 10 pages. I’d like to keep this light and fun and snappy. Don’t derail, long story short lol - Burt Somebody fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Jan 18, 2020 |

Memento posted:Yay, I made the front page! Cheers yes this is one my favorite threads too, and hope the regulars continue to find their way here. I really enjoy reading about various work stories. Former DILF posted:Hi can you speak a little more about the decision-making process, and speak about who contributed to this process so that we have perhaps a slightly better understanding of this forum?
