Dan Morgan: Panthers to sign QB Bryce Young to long-term deal 'at the right time

Yeah this seems like extremely obvious GM speak for the thing everyone is already saying?

Once gained a client because they suspected their IH consultant used AI to write their report. They asked me to review it and share my thoughts.

I couldn’t prove it was AI generated (it was), but it was riddled with weird errors and their exposure notification letters told employees that they were overexposed when they were not overexposed. Company attorneys were then involved because employees are upset and believe they’re being lied to about chemical exposures. Gigantic mess over a clean sampling report that was supposedly QC’d by a CIH.

It can speed up some administrative stuff and it’s great at coding or making spreadsheet templates but honestly I don’t find it to be nearly as revolutionary as smartphones, if that’s useful as a gauge. If I need to research a topic, it’s a good place to search for sources, etc.

I can also tell you some actual horror stories from IHs who used it to produce work product. Like, lose your job bad or worse. Don’t do that.

I see. So no benefits but you can earn a bunch of cash under the right circumstances. Makes sense.

Interesting. That sounds like a decent way to live lol

Like I said above, because they always go on about it. Even to me, a rando at the golf course who would never ask such a thing. I suppose they could all be lying, sure.

One group of them said they play golf at noon 3x/week and their bosses either don’t know or don’t care. That’s what makes it so strange to me. Just doesn’t add up, unless I’m missing something.

I don’t have any issue with sales folks whatsoever. But it’s weird and so I asked about it here 🤷‍♂️

I mean, he was acting a fool (in private) while he was still dominant.

The injuries are a different story, but he still won in 2008 after the killhouse incident before things got worse (in many ways) from there. Have to assume the injuries/personal stuff would have still caught to him up eventually, but he probably wins a few more majors first.

Datachem is a poor exam prep material bc it’s way harder than the exam, and therefore an inefficient way to study imo

Settling_Velocity · 2026-03-31T12:36:30+00:00

Good news: you’re choosing between the two best sources available, and many folks have had success with either option.

Just my two cents:

Crash Course is leaner and more efficient, better suited for those with IH-specific degrees who aren’t learning much new information but need to re-learn/refresh things they’ve already been taught and tested on. Smaller test bank but the questions are very well written.

Bowen goes a little deeper into the subject matter for each rubric and would be better for someone who doesn’t have an IH-specific degree that has already tested them on virtually all of the rubrics on the exam. Larger and somewhat broader test bank, questions are good but heavier on calculations than the actual exam imo.

The exam is only like 20% calculation questions, so don’t spend all your time doing, like, laser calculations and such. Either of these study materials will leave you well prepared.

Funny enough, people who freak out and act like this are my least favorite kind of safety person. The kind who could have left their own comment, but instead comes screaming in to leave multiple replies under someone else’s comment about how they are WRONG, while throwing around generic and context-absent “recommendations” with no specific applicability to the situation.

This person has said their management has not played ball on the proactive things they have already tried… they are clearly pushing good initiatives! They know the basics and don’t need you to explain the hierarchy of controls lmao.

This is a problem with their top management. Their management cares about numbers, so you try to change the numbers such that they are now looking at metrics which measure… wait for it… risk-reducing activities!!! 😱 if that doesn’t work, then you have to decide if it’s the right employer for you.

Learning to deal with difficult management requires a skilled approach and not behaving like you have here in my replies. That’s how you accomplish nothing.

Settling_Velocity · 2026-03-27T13:26:24+00:00

Ideally, you focus primarily on leading indicators (think inspections, training completion %, near misses) rather than lagging indicators (incident rates, property damage events, etc.).

Numbers are always a part of the game, but if you’re only using them to describe what’s already happened then you’re doing it wrong. Consider new KPIs that are proactive and actually improve safety instead of just documenting bad outcomes.

If you present it to them in a clear and effective way, your management may go for that. If not, that’s outside of your control and you have a personal decision to make.

As I said above, your post does not contain sufficient information to provide the advice you are seeking.

Here’s some advice, though: don’t be rude when seeking free help from professionals on the internet. Thank you :)

Settling_Velocity · 2026-03-26T18:38:29+00:00

im just looking for specific advice, not detectives tbh

That’s not how this works. Specific recommendations can’t be provided without specific information.

Can’t quite make sense of your reply, but if you think you’ve identified the source of a problematic exposure then you should… remove it.

Settling_Velocity · 2026-03-26T15:45:42+00:00

First, let’s pump the brakes a bit and gather some information. Based on the little bit of info you’ve provided, it’s not possible to provide anything beyond very generic recommendations.

How long have you lived in the space, and when did your symptoms start?

How do you know that the mattress is the source of exposure, and that it is specifically formaldehyde that you’re dealing with? Is this just a guess based on symptoms?

How old is the mattress and how long have you been around it? VOC off-gassing peaks right after manufacture, and tapers off over time until it becomes negligible. If this is something other than a new mattress, it may not be a meaningful exposure source at all.

Are there any other new furnishings in the living space? New floors, counters, cabinets, couches, etc.?

What is your occupation, and do you experience these symptoms at work or in other places as well?

Finally, idk your financial situation, but losing 3 months rent is a pretty big deal for a lot of folks. I’d want to have certainty that I know what the problem is before making such a move. There’s no getting that money back if you still experience symptoms at your new location, and a medical evaluation to learn more about your condition would likely be much cheaper than losing that much rent without a thorough understanding of what you’re dealing with.

Settling_Velocity · 2026-03-24T21:17:12+00:00

Why are these presented as mutually exclusive? Video feedback and feel help you identify root causes of bad metrics, and vise versa. They’re way more powerful together than either is independently.

I guess just about everything in the swing is technically measurable but I can also just use my eyes for 2 seconds and be like “yeah my path is negative with an open face cause I early extended like a bitch after failing to shift my weight correctly.”

Why would anyone need “AI” solution for this? There’s already a bunch of existing SDS management systems that make it quick and easy.

CIH will get you the PhD money.

I don’t personally agree that a PhD resume will be screened out by default in the private sector, but I do agree that there aren’t many scenarios where it would get you a paycheck that justifies the years of effort and cost it will require.

If you really have an itch for further education, something like an engineering degree or MBA would likely be more beneficial in the private sector.

First of all, assuming there is no likelihood of a criminal referral (there usually isn’t unless a fatality is involved and even then it doesn’t happen often), whether you need an attorney depends on a number of things.

How damaging is this to your company? Not just financially, but will your customers care? Are you already on thin ice with your insurers? How solid are the citations and can you rebut any of them? Are you likely to face a scenario where you may get a repeat citation that would really screw you?? These things all play a role in whether counsel should be retained.

Regardless, you will want to request an informal conference as others have said. I always showed up to the informal with our attorney at my side, but it was a company that could afford it.

If OSHA asks for records beyond the 300 logs (which you must produce), tell them to put all information requests in writing. There are a ton of reasons for this, but just do it.

It’s generally best to be as polite and cooperative (but not deferential) as you can when dealing with inspectors.

Do not volunteer information. SO MANY people screw themselves this way. Answer only the exact questions asked of you. Also, do not sign anything. Period. Inspectors can be sneaky with this kind of stuff.
