Members BoundandBlocked Posted August 27, 2008 Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 It didn't happen today, but we had a guy shove a drill bit into his chest and collapse a lung (it was a couple inches from puncturing his heart). We also have a paint line with an overhead conveyor. One of the temp employee was jumping off of a lift and got his ribcage hooked by one of the conveyor's hangers and was dangling there by his ribcage. We also occasionally have people cut off digits, but that doesn't happen too frequently. It's a wonder OSHA hasn't shut us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work at a cardboard box factory that would shut down the line when I got too much blood on the boxes from my papercuts. It was just accepted that there will be blood and they just had to find a way to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L-1329 Posted August 27, 2008 Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 I had to thread my way through a really widespread area of severe thunderstorms down around Atlanta, the remains of TS Fay. Will have to do more of that today too it looks like. Gotta give way to Mother Nature, she can be a mean beotch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dravenzouk Posted August 27, 2008 Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 At job one: I had to manuever some very large and unstable loads with a forklift in/around/over some nice cars. The chances of damaging those cars was high enough to make the job pretty stressful. Also fun because the VP of the company was visiting (one of the cars was his). At job two: I had to haul a brand new 9 foot grand piano through some VERY tricky/dirty/uneven territory. One slip and it would have been "but that was a priceless Steinway..........not any more!"

Members bassman1956 Posted August 27, 2008 Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 People could get very very seriously injured here. And because of that, the lab takes huge measures in preventative training, awareness, safeguards, ongoing reports on safety records, more training, qualifications, lock out - tag out procedures, more training, keytree-controlled access and interlocks, crain checks, etc. Easily, some of the things that could happen would be pretty gross. Gross neglegence of safety issues is one of the few things you can get instantly fired for around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoundandBlocked Posted August 27, 2008 Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 wow. Yeah, they're real geniuses. The drill bits get dull and they can't plant their feet enough to push away from their bodies with enough force to drill into the steel so the put their chest up to the steel tubes and pull the drill toward them.
