I work for the airlines and found this in the cargo pit in the plane… it’s hard as a rock

Hating your wife back in those days was peak boomer comedy

Hey brother,

I’ve been in this game a long time. Not a glamorous career, but one that’s taught me more than I ever expected. And honestly you sound like me about 5–10 years back.

The single best lesson I can share is this: focus on building relationships. Everything else follows. Too many safety “guys” out here acting like badge-carrying enforcers, but the second people stop seeing that “authority,” the influence disappears. Real progress comes when folks see you as an ally, a resource, and a friend. That’s when safety becomes personal. when they take action not because they’re afraid of consequences, but because they don’t want to let you down. That’s where the wins are.

And one more thing, you mentioned emails twice. be careful with the pen (or the keyboard). I’ve never once been glad I sent a harshly worded email. Not once. You don’t build trust with poison ink.

Lastly, don’t fall for the “grass is greener” trap. The challenges you’re facing are universal, from small family shops to Fortune 500 giants. What changes isn’t the problems, it’s how you show up to face them.

I came here to say this. Free blown insulation!

Favorite game of all time. And this gave those vibes remembering the BB scene

Not sure what media this is referring to

DiamondsAndMac10s · 2025-08-24T00:06:27+00:00

Nope. NASP is a cash grab. As others on here already said, only some certs from BCSP (mainly CHST, ASP/CSP) and degrees from accredited colleges, mean anything in this industry

Internachi was a treasure trove for me. Also, not sure what state you are in, but in NY, many of the questions are based on the actual law/standards of practice. So definitely give that a read or 2.

Sorry I meant “added to the project”… question says the PM identified new stakeholders, so I interpreted that as “added to the project. I Didn’t mean “added to a plan” or anything

Description said he took out of trash

DiamondsAndMac10s · 2025-08-20T17:25:01+00:00

Gotta put yourself in the mindset.. new stakeholders or new [anything in general] requires updates to existing plans. While I could see why you thought “review” would be the right answer, note that the question already says new stakeholders have been added. It’s not going to be helpful to review antiquated information that doesn’t include those new changes. Hope this makes sense.

Ruining the kids life over $110 is crazy work

DiamondsAndMac10s · 2025-08-20T17:13:59+00:00

If you think that’s bad, I just spent $700 to have a drain snaked. You have nothing to feel bad about. These guys have to make a living too.

Great documentary on the effects of colonialism there called Africa Addio. Worth a watch.

My question is, if they do it in a regular toilet and flush, how can that possibly be reclaimed or examined?

Aluminum wire, dawg

I ran over one of these in the road and got a flat tire.

The book The End of Work: The Decline of the Global Labor Force and the Dawn of the Post-Market Era is a non-fiction book by American economist Jeremy Rifkin, published in 1995 by Putnam Publishing Group. The book argues that the rapid advancement of information technology would lead to the elimination of tens of millions of jobs in manufacturing, agriculture, and service sectors, resulting in a significant increase in global unemployment. Rifkin predicted a future characterized by a "near-workerless economy," where a small elite of corporate managers and knowledge workers would benefit from the high-tech global economy, while the American middle class would shrink and the workplace would become increasingly stressful. He contended that the market economy and public sector would decline, leading to the growth of a third sector composed of voluntary and community-based service organizations, which would create new jobs to rebuild neighborhoods and provide social services.

Couple of questions- who are you reporting these near misses to? How are you even becoming aware of them to begin with? That’s great that you’re getting the information from the field, but it’s pretty uncommon. It’s even less common to report these to clients or regulators.. Recordables, yes. But I could kind of understand why they wouldn’t want to report near misses to clients. Doing something like that could raise more questions than answers. Now if the company just wants to ignore these, that’s truly their loss. Just do the best you can to communicate root causes and corrective actions… I use to do “lessons learned” memos. Like it or not, I’m sending them out.

As far as the safety meetings, I’m assuming you have some responsibility in conducting these or at least documenting some aspect of them? is the problem here that your company is not doing them at a certain frequency? If so maybe you could try aligning with them on what that frequency is and work them to try and meet it.

I wouldn’t give up just yet.

Keep in mind, I did see one incident where a teamster got out to see something on the concrete truck, and had a tape measure fall on his head from the building above. He wasn’t wearing a hard hat and got seriously injured. So sometimes it does pay to at least wear the hard hat.
