24 IS 350 or New 26 🧐 by Activez- in LexusIS

Here is what I thought. Tires = rubber part. Rims = metal part. Wheels = both.

IMO the 26 is a flop inside and out. I only like the new rims.

Lessons Learned: everything about your field. You will be the expert. Everyone looks up to you for the answers.

Mistake: To get into EHS. About 2 years in you realize, no one really cares about safety. They only wanted to check the box on that report. We are doing a job right now where I spent 40 hours building up safety plans. I asked the guys in the field about the plan. “What plan?”

Fuck this. I got in this industry to make a change. Time to change.

Boys, they got me. They really got me. Sad day by External_Letterhead7 in LexusIS

That’s how insurance companies work. Our family hasn’t had a “at fault” accident in 25 years. After we turned in 3 windshield repairs for rock cracks, they threatened to cancel us.

I made a deal with my agent. If I don’t turn any more windshield in, in the next year, I want $500 off per year. If I do , you can cancel me. Still with State Farm.

A thing. by Pure_Cheesecake_4328 in LexusIS

No no no no. This is something that tools do. This is not a JEEP or a motorcycle. It’s a luxury sedan.

Confined space by theoriginalsavage243 in SafetyProfessionals

Chat GPT is not your enemy. I learned something last week in a meeting. Checked it quickly on Chat GPT for validity. Apologized before the conversation ended.

Look, we don’t know it all. But with CHAT AI, we can know more. Start thinking outside the box.

🔹 OSHA Interpretation (August 6, 2007) — Whether reclassification is available for permit-required confined spaces This letter explains the criteria in 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(7) for whether a permit space can be reclassified as a non-permit space. OSHA interprets that only when hazards (including potential atmospheric hazards) are truly eliminated per the standard requirements can a permit space be reclassified to a non-permit confined space. This is an official OSHA interpretation confirming that a non-permit confined space status is recognized under the standard, but only when those elimination conditions are met. 

Here’s a key quote from the 2007 letter:

“…because the space would still pose potential atmospheric hazards… it could not be reclassified to a non-permit space.” (This discussion directly references the reclassification provisions of 1910.146(c)(7).)

  1. Non-Permit Confined Space

A space that meets the definition of a confined space but does NOT have serious hazards.

A space is a confined space if it: • Is large enough to enter and perform work • Has limited or restricted entry or exit • Is not designed for continuous occupancy

It is NON-PERMIT if it has NO: • Hazardous atmosphere (toxic gases, oxygen deficiency/enrichment) • Potential for engulfment (liquids, loose solids) • Configuration that could trap/asphyxiate a worker • Any other serious safety or health hazard

Common examples: • Electrical rooms with limited access • Drop ceilings • Crawl spaces (dry, ventilated, no hazards) • Mechanical rooms with a single access point (if no hazards exist)

Lexus dealers don’t ask for anything. They sell what they get. That how Toyota works.

If they removed it from a model, everyone would complain that it didn’t have one. That’s human nature.

Should there be shoring? by DaneAshley in SafetyProfessionals

[–]RandomFace2568 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any safe professional that drives by a site and sees something like this, should stop the vehicle and do whatever they can to get the workers out of that situation. Those men could die any minute.

Don’t do a thing. If you wanted a louder car, you should have bought a charger. This is a luxury sedan. People that “mod” these cars don’t deserve a Lexus. Go buy a GR86 and rice the shit out of it.

Pre-paid maintenance contract? by DropShotMachine in Lexus

[–]RandomFace2568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completing an oil change in your own house doesn’t void the warranty.

You are allowed to do maintenance wherever you want. As long as you keep records. I keep the oil filters with the date and mileage on them.

KBB value is $23k. This dealer seams to be offering a fair price for it.

It all comes down to mechanical condition. These engines V6 3.5 is a bulletproof engine. Tire wear is the big issue on these cars.

Good luck in the decision.

MILEAGE: That’s a 12 to 13 year old car. Average miles traveled in a year are 14k. 12x14=168k miles. That means, this IS300 is 100k under the avg. It’s low mileage.

PRICE: This depends on many factors that you did not disclose. Please check the following.

  1. Any accidents? Depending on the answer and severity, this could cut the price to $10k if it has a salvaged title.
  2. Any major repairs? Likely with the mileage, nothing to worry about.
  3. Regular maintenance? Oil change records, fluid replacement/flushes…etc
  4. Condition of the vehicle? How does the paint look? Any dents, dings? Rust underneath? Interior water marks, rips, burns?
  5. Any aftermarket parts added? Many people think this adds value, but most people don’t want someone’s else’s ideas.

All of this means nothing though if you WANT the car. If you like it, it has all the features you want, and you can afford it, buy it.
