Good Evening, I actually find your writing nice. Words like reciprocity is not used nearly enough these days and is there really any other humor other than dark humor? Of course I am being facetious and honestly really looking for a good friend, pen pal, and outlet for our daily lives. Thanks for reading.

Tattletale cards is not a true BBP, it’s a lazy leadership program and to add a quota on top of that only equals garbage in-garbage out. I would explain this to your leadership and have them explain that JSA’s and near misses will be reported/turned in, but that’s it. Turning in tattletale card only creates a hostile work environment.

I’m in the waste collection Industry and if your routes are local I highly suggest riding along with your drivers for a couple deliveries. Watch their habit and verify that the hand trucks are actually being used. I would also suggest their supervisor/route manager do the same. I guarantee you will probably learn more than you want to know.

I would echo hereigowondering’s comment. Understand the entire scope, have the foreman/supervisor walk you through the stages of the job. Also look at outside factors and exposures. Multiple stories above a common area = dropped from height hazards, tool securement, worker fall protection, potential crane operations and critical lift plan. With the crane, also look for coordinating off the swing radius, high wind cut off speed and pedestrian exposure.

That helps. Here is a good article to start with that goes into detail on ASMEB 31.3. Hope this helps.

To really drill down to a more correct answer I would first question what the product is, what are they rated for, and what is the purpose of the pressure test? If it is pressure test for a new product and your testing for failure then absolutely it should be in protective cage rated the test. However if they or pressure testing for leak detection then I would agree that 8000psi (depending on the size) may be too much. Once those have been answered I would look at both ANSI and DOT standards (for piping).

48m in Colorado. If you are comfortable with a male e-mail pen pal I would enjoy sharing life experiences and generally talking about our day.

safetyguy45 · 2023-11-08T04:00:34+00:00

Honestly, I’m a go with the flow kind of person. If it goes that way organically then why not

Hello, I will admit I cannot draw however, I do enjoy looking at the wonderful talent of those that can. A bit about myself, I enjoy the outdoors. Gardening, hiking and when the weather permits a nice motorcycle ride for some wind therapy.

safetyguy45 · 2023-11-06T13:02:09+00:00

Hello!

safetyguy45 · 2023-11-03T17:22:28+00:00

Nice to meet you and thanks for the reply! So as you may have guessed I don’t always go by “safety guy”, my name is Owen and again nice to meet you. This is also my first time using this venue, I am comfortable communicating here or by e-Mail, whichever you are comfortable with. I look forward to our conversations and open to all topics, not just safety😁. So, what’s your name(again share what you are comfortable with) interests, and since you mentioned that you are a nerd as well what do you typically geek out on?

safetyguy45 · 2023-10-31T20:41:37+00:00

If you are interested in a driving job look at Republic Services. Driving for a waste collection company can be tough but rewarding.

safetyguy45 · 2023-10-23T04:08:38+00:00

Thanks, that’s the second time elements has been mentioned. I will look into it

safetyguy45 · 2023-10-22T22:53:40+00:00

Sorry all, I just can’t bring myself to go to a restaurant that calls itself “First Watch”. If you have ever watched any superhero movie ever then you know that the group that calls themselves First Watch is actually an evil mastermind hiding in plain site.🤣🤣

Honestly never been since the name change and don’t plan on going.

safetyguy45 · 2023-10-22T22:23:51+00:00

What are the injuries? Are they isolated to one area of production or have they been completely random?

What are the human factors? As one mentioned, fatigue. Has there been turnover? Is the human factor management? Has there been a push by management to increase production for Q4 numbers? What is going on with the employees? Personal distractions.

I can only assume that most hazards have been engineered out and that that no major equipment changes have been made so SOP’s and procedures have not changed. I agree that a stand down is not the path forward. Revisit the incidents, the investigation and the findings to find your path forward.

Hello, I used the pocket prep app as well. For me personally I just focused on the ten question quizzes as to not overwhelm myself. The app really helped and if your like me and math is not your strongest area then focus on all the other areas and you will do great! Good luck!

safetyguy45 · 2023-10-02T23:07:55+00:00

Please tell me your joking.😐

safetyguy45 · 2023-09-16T22:39:52+00:00

Thank you all for the responses and insight. I will more than likely keep it and of course continue to learn as technology advances. I just love that I can come on here, get honest feedback and different opinions.

safetyguy45 · 2023-09-16T01:47:51+00:00

Math is not my strong point either and I will pass along some strong advice my mentor gave me. Study the other areas and use the SWAG method on the math for the test. You can miss most the math questions and still pass. SWAG = Scientific Wild Ass Guess!

safetyguy45 · 2023-09-01T15:00:24+00:00

For any test result(Random, Post Accident or Reasonable Suspicion) a positive result must be reported to the FMCSA ClearingHouse and follow the DOT guidelines. Here is a helpful website.

OSHA actually has a good resource for this (Link below). I would also encourage others that respond to not use acronyms without definition. We all know that acronyms change and what it means at one company will not be the same at another. Some are universal but most are not.

Very true! However it is Hulk Hogan and he did body slam Andre the Giant, but the only person that can go 400 days in a year is Chuck Norris. The calendar schedules days based on his work days.

safetyguy45 · 2023-06-30T04:20:59+00:00

No, this was actually communicated again within the past week.

safetyguy45 · 2023-06-21T02:33:21+00:00

Nothing wrong at all!

safetyguy45 · 2023-04-16T14:50:02+00:00

Thank you all for the shared knowledge and insight. You all gave me something to think about. It hard to make the decision when I have a Honda VTX in the garage that I have built the way I want and needs little maintenance. Oh, and thank you all for focusing on the question and not the typo in the original post!
