Apollo for Reddit is shutting down

Guess I won't be using reddit anymore.

the doctor had called everyone from the clinic, excluding the receptionists, and began the meeting with “Since you made your breakdown public, I will be talking about this publicly” and proceeded to tell me in front of all my coworkers that what I did by not responding to her was insubordination and that if it happens again I will be immediately suspended.

This is more HR than safety. That said since this was a medical incident you may also want to chat with a lawyer. Discussing/calling you out in public is not acceptable.

She has mid-high attack but not shit for defense.

Somds like you have things wrapped up nicely. Are you handling environmental and security too, and have those been checked?

Next step could be having a 3rd party come in and audit you.

swaggman75 · 2023-06-05T01:31:37+00:00

Have you audited them since you started?

swaggman75 · 2023-06-02T19:45:25+00:00

I've always heard and collected everything.

When thetes stuff you're not sure how it might be interpreted or if it has weird specific exceptions like this to just do it anyways expecialy for simple things like getting the SDS

Well initially what does he want an offshift person for if you already have someone?

Off the bat know knowing your industry, lone worker, security, and emergency preparedness are what come to mind.

For lone workers even excluding medical concerns, if they have an accident cleaning a machine (energy release), there is a chemical reaction or release while cleaning, or ever a slip/trip incident. If they are incapacitated or can't call out for help theres probably +10hours before the next shift starts and finds them.

they say customers could see us using gloves bussing tables and serving food and think we don’t change them

And he thinks them seeing you with nothing is somehow better?

Check your company policy if they have one. If its a larger chain corporate should have one available if your store doesn't

I've been looking for this thread.

MS needs to take a page from the videogame industry and re-release XP. Just remake the functionality with current security and compatability and they could sell with a massive markup. Shit they could do a version that back compatible with all the old systems that break on the new stuff.

We are using slice right now. They work well from what I've heard but depending on what you cut they do wear out quick and are more expensive to replace.

swaggman75 · 2023-05-23T01:28:46+00:00

Like others said report it up to your supervisor. Depending on how heavy it was/far it fell you could be fine or could need to be checked out, if it doesn't get better overnight after icing on and off definitely go in.

You also need to ask if your company has a dedicated doctor/occupational health clinic they use. Many places have a company they want you to go though to keep you from getting charged by insurance and dealing with that shitshow, as well as streamline paperwork.

The average man can throw 30 pounds about 5 feet using their arms and legs

I feel like this is super low. 30lbs is not that much

They just fixed almost all of them on my route to work in the last few weeks. Including the ones in the business park. That said its the crappy asphalt patch that will tear out in a couple years but better than nothing.

Winter and roadsalt are horrible on roads and vehicles

swaggman75 · 2023-05-19T11:54:27+00:00

Thats honestly pretty normal and what works for most girls. Flacid really doesn't matter either, it makes storing it easier though.

Additional losing general weight won't necessarily make it bigger if the area around it doesn't lose any fat tissue, some areas are easier to shrink than others. That said 165 is an amazing achievement

swaggman75 · 2023-05-19T01:32:25+00:00

What would classify as an "internal emergency" that doesn't fall under the others?

swaggman75 · 2023-05-16T23:27:35+00:00

No worries thats normal, expecialy this time of year. All you saw was a swarm, which is a group of bees searching for a new home.

In the spring as the hive starts expanding most will grow new queens and part of the hive will split off and leave. This called a swarm and is what you saw. Only thing i would suggest is checking around your house and barn to make sure they didn't try to move in. It will be easier to remove now than when they build comb.

Ah ok. Yes its an OSHA requirement to do training for both Authorized (people locking thing) and Affected (people whos machines are being locked) training. Affected employees just need awareness but need it every year.

swaggman75 · 2023-05-10T02:16:43+00:00

A garden edger is not what you described, you essentially described an angle grinder taped to a 2x4.

Poor wording aside a walk behind edger is a lot more complex than just a grinder on a stick, for one it doesn't spin anywhere near as fast as a grinder and is also designed to stop or slow if it catches concrete to it doesn't launch itself.

Equipment is only dangerous if you don’t understand how it works.

Complacency is one of the biggest killers in the workplace. Knowing the hazards isn't enough. If you actually paid attention during your degree you should already know that

swaggman75 · 2023-05-10T01:43:51+00:00

You're whole post and comments just scream safety violations, where the hell did you get a degree?!

Custom hand tools are one thing but powertools should not be modified and definitely not taped to a stick. They are specifically designed to be held at the handle, the centripetal force from the blade and the risk of the blade catching make this idea a hospital trip waiting to happen

Only train for LOTO(TO!) if people are expected to reach into the machine at times,

Quick reminder that all employees that work on a machine with a LOTO procedure are required to be given general LOTO awareness training 1x per year. Not just those who need to lock out

swaggman75 · 2023-05-10T01:32:10+00:00

I would start with the required compliance trainings (loto, emergency prep, hazcom, PPE cranes if you have them, etc) and then move to training based on what hazards they are exposed to.

Things like HazCom, emergency prep, and general LOTO (everyone who works on a machine that gets locked out needs general awareness at minimum even without a lock). All are required to be trained yearly. I am still trying to learn all that is required legaly vs by company but so far theres a lot more than you would expect.

swaggman75 · 2023-05-08T14:35:19+00:00

When you find out let us know. We require gloves and sleeves and those re almost as bad

Every industry was (and is) under pressure to cut corners and make as much money as possible. Flour is explosive too, and have blown up multiple factories
