[@ronmani9476]

I have a HEALTHY respect for coil springs... was working on my 64 ford, used a spring compressor to remove the springs. they were cheap ones designed for clamping on to either side of the spring. as I was removing one, the compressors both slid over to one side of the spring... I took it out VERY carefully and placed it on the ground near me, the 1/2" drive ratchet still on one of the compressor ends. I was watching it and there was a blur and boing noise and now im looking at the full spring, compressors on the ground under it and no ratchet.... 4 or 5 seconds later i heard a metallic "ping" down the street, go to see and its my ratchet around 200ft away from the house.

Mine was a sheet metal guy, but same lessons taught. He used to say “one hand is for the work, one hand is for your safety, something happens to you…then fuck the job”. His meaning was don’t go doing stupid shit and not take safety into account. It became literal when I worked construction when I was young. I saw many people fall from having two hands on the job when it was clearly warranted to be hanging on with one. I saved my dads best friend when he took his safety hand off, he stepped on a row of nailheads at a joint in the roof sheeting that had frosted over. He grabbed for hand tools with one hand, the chicken stick with the other, only to divert to try to keep his nail gun from going off the roof. He was lucky I was able to grab his bags with one hand and arrest his fall, I had the window sill with my safety hand. He almost went off a second floor roof over tools, without that dormer sill, I’d have had to just watch him go.

Well I can't tell you specifically what all violations are in these videos. Lack of proper safety equipment, and inadequate safety training. It takes almost nothing to get dinged during an inspection and each individual violation, even the most menial thing, carries substantial fines. An electric receptacle (outlet, junction box, etc) with one of the round punch-outs missing, a single missing/out of place fire extinguisher, fire extinguisher tamper-seal broken or missing, etc. I've heard of companies being over a million dollars in fines because of how quickly they add up.

Loaded springs are something that must be treated with respect. Hooks Law determines how much kinetic energy is stored in a spring. You do that math and it's shocking. I just hope than when you are called to perform your profession, that it's not a fatality.

[@TheColosiss]

My high-school had many custom tools meant for compressed springs. My town is rural so the things in the shop were a bit different. Some of the senior welders were tested by building new tools for the Auto shop. They were tested like you wouldn't believe. If the tool was found wanting, the welder passed and was asked to make another tool for the school. The coolest I saw was a modified compressor designed to alleviate weight on broken leaf springs from multiple points so that they could be replaced with little effort. The tool fit a plethora of vehicles and was tested on a few different platforms that had severely bent springs. It was a very simple tool, very efficient, and saved the shop countless hours working on lifted beasts. The kid that made it was a year older than me and was a literal genius. He got a perfect score on his ACT tests and built a program to backdoor any program on school computers. His program was so good that the shop teachers used it to for KZbin or music. The kid was *WAAAAY* smarter than me. He was also a very kind person. He was given a special award for his contributions to the school. *GENIUS*

[@VB-bk1lh]

I spent over 25 years working in a shop. Years ago there was no OSHA anywhere unless someone died or lost a limb. Shop floors were covered in 6" of oil and gas soaked speedy dry, safety glasses were only required when using a torch or grinder, and even then, the only issue was that they considered it your fault if you got something in your eye when not wearing them. The biggest risk however was usually the guy working next to you. They would hire anyone, and put the new guys between two older guys with more experience. We always thought it was so they could learn but looking back it was more likely to have to more experienced techs close by in case the new guy did something stupid. Over the years I watched guys set cars on fire, set the shop floor on fire, explode tires, set lifts down on toolboxes or open drawers, dump cars off lifts, and even run cars in the walls or tool boxes. The number one fail was likely guys running over lift arms and blowing tires. Second was guys dumping front wheel drive cars off lifts by removing the rear tires because they failed to account for the front heavy vehicle when they pulled onto the lift. The worst fail I saw was a guy who drove a car off a raised four post drive non lift. He had the rear wheels lifted off the ramps with the car running at about 50 mph trying to find a vibration. The safety levers on the air jack was tied off. He stepped back, somehow caught and broke the yellow spiral hose that supplied air to the jack holding the spinning tires off the ramps. The car dropped onto the ramp, shot forward jumping off the ramp and falling across a 4ft mid wall that separated the two lanes of the shop. The car landed nose down atop another techs $25k SnapOn tool box. The car actually wasn't damaged that bad, it tore up the exhaust, lower valance panel, front bumper cover, and bottom of one fender. The tool box was destroyed, the lift was damaged slightly but the big damage was to the floor, as the car went off the front, it caught the tire stops, which in turn bent all four posts forward ripping the rear posts out of the concrete. The entire lift had to replaced, the floor had to be cut and repaired, and afterwards they redesigned the mid wall or divider with a heavy steel barrier that could catch a car. They did not fire the tech. However, a few weeks later he destroyed two cars, he set one on fire in the parking lot while 'checking for spark'. He pulled a plug wire, stuck a spark tester on one wire and failed to notice that the under hood insulation was soaked with gas and oil. It burst into flames and burned beyond repair in the lot. That same day, he was running a car through the automatic car wash and for whatever reason tried to get out of the car midway through. The mechanism caught the door, (and him), and folded it forward on a brand new truck. (The shop had a built in automated car wash and it was policy to wash ever vehicle that came in for any repair). A few days after that he filled both tanks on a brand new diesel truck with gasoline, then proceeded to take it for a test drive to get his lunch. It was on a Friday, the truck got delivered that evening with two full tanks of gas. The customer realized it but not till they got home nearly 70 miles away. They towed the truck back and realized what had happened the following Monday. That was his last day. That place is long gone, it closed up over 25 years ago now. I had later heard that the same guy was working at a local diner and was somehow the cause of it burning to the ground not long after he was fired from the shop where I worked.

The lead walked over as calm as could be and just laid out the inspector! One punch, to the face then he drug his body outside while a lady called 911 for an ambulance. The lead got arrested and fired but was hired back a few days later (owner’s nephew), the inspector dropped charges but the company was hit with some crazy fines.

@@wiedapp Correct, OSHA is only applicable in the USA AND only for professional operations AND even then only for employees and contractors (not visitors and customers, though many companies will require those to comply as well because it just makes sense to be safe). For example if I work in a supermarket I'm required to wear fully closed shoes and there are rules for what clothes are allowed. As a customer I can walk in barefoot in a bathing suit (in theory, many stores don't allow bathing suits) and there are no laws preventing that. Of course many if not most countries will have similar regulations issued by a similar agency, with similar applicability.

[@Rogue0257]

A car suspension spring is dangerous, but a recoil spring in an M1A1 breech is a whole other level. The spring, when out of the breech and not under compression, is a 2" diameter coil, around 1-1&1/2 feet wide, that stands around 3 feet tall. (Not quite sure on actual dimensions, it was many years ago I worked on the turrets.) Under compression, it suppresses the recoil whenever the main gun fires. The compression bracket is a major piece of hardware.

I’ve bought many tools to do one job once but they were worth every penny. A $30 spring compressor was one of them.

[@Javierm0n0]

Better paying to do one job once right than have that be your last one.

[@Hydraulic67]

My family business has been in the repair world for 89 years now, and little fires do happen, but we have NEVER had anything more than a small rag catch on fire, and then it was NOT under a job. Anytime a cut has to be made like in this video, we always confirm that we have at least TWO of the right type fire extinguishers along with a second person standing by with one IN HAND. This fire is inexcusable.

[@heatherk2467]

I loved this one, my daughter and I are huge fans, we love that you've got smart mechanics paired up for this channel..... as a safety professional.... it''s Occupational Safety & "Health" Administration. Lol. Many of these are a training or inspection issue or would fall under the general duty clause. There are in fact standards on hand and power tools. If you ever want a safety pro to callab on these or help with compliance in your own shop, I'd love to help. Thanks for the great content, as always. 😊

[@brokenrock13]

That totally clean and organized shop that y’all showed is so damn rare in this field. From my experience, anyway.

[@MonstertruckBadass]

Seemed pretty unrealistic as well, probably a reason why it is so rare.

[@Jey_PX]

[@SmugAmerican]

Well they cleaned it up to take a video, probably to get ready for an inspection. I'm sure it doesn't look like that all the time.

[@pjemje]

You'll see this in a shop that outsources all their cleaning and pays heavily for it. It's so so worth it in the end, even if it looks like a mess a week later. Makes mechanics appreciate their workplace more and clean up after themselves, clean their tools regularly, replace overalls often. Our shop had weekly laundry and workplace cleaning.

2:10 Dude, that's not fair! I know what happened in this situation. The mechanic was dealing with a gas leak on the gas line and static electricity sparked the fuel under the car which dripped down to the floor freaking everybody out. I feel bad for the mechanic. They rushed to get the fire extinguisher and weren't sure how to put it out. They tried putting out the gas leak in the car but that wasn't working so they tried the floor. They did all the right things. It was just a bad situation. I realize I'm 2 months late but common guys....

[@DustinPlatt]

I love ANSI. I own an optometrist practice, and we have a contract with a contractor on our nearby naval base. We sell Z87.1 safety glasses on a daily basis. We also sell Z87.2+ safety glasses for military personnel, which follow Military Ballistic Standards but aren't technically ballistic safety glasses. Sadly, Uncle Sam won't let our office do ballistic safety wear. I finally found a KZbin video where I know wtf people are talking about because of my job. Idk why that makes me excited. Also, if you ever want a pair of great safety glasses. Go Wiley X. I've been dealing with glasses for nearly 16 years, and those glasses are amazing. Just food for thought.

[@rallywagon261]

During my time as a 63b in an S&R squad at Bliss, I spent most of that enlistment wearing saftey glasses. I had a few pairs of sunglasses style saftey glasses, which were great because they had padding all around the edge which kept the sand out while in the field. Seemed like every time we ent out there was a sand storm.

Work at a fabrication shop where no one is wearing safety glasses. Maybe some have prescription but I've already had pieces of metal fly directly at my eyes and bounce right off those safety glasses. It may not be comfortable but I'd rather have glasses squeezing my brain than being blind...

[@solillman2350]

The clip where he was sweeping both the car and the base of the fire, you can see flaming liquid pouring out the bottom of the car. There was no putting that out with just an extinguisher.

[@williamroberts6803]

Supposed to be a fire watch if you are using a torch or a grinder and you should plan ahead with safety equipment like gloves,safety glasses,face shields,water, fire extinguisher and anything you might need. Always plan your work and what might happen and how to mitigate it.

Never heard it called the Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration. Every source you look up says Health or health hazard in a few cases.

[@caseydarrah]

Neighbor of mine as a kid raced ARCA cars. Had the heaviest suspension he could get as he liked super-super-stiff. His favorite method for replacing coil springs was to compress it with the right tool (good idea), install it into the support (okay), then knock the tool off with a hammer so it would *sproing* into place and save the few minutes needed to actually slowly release the spring. Screwed it up one day, the top of the spring support snapped, and he put that spring through his garage roof.

The garage should have fire blankets, too. It would make putting out a fire a lot quicker. Another thing with fire extinguishers is to have enough of them to put out the largest fire that can be expected, then at least double that quantity, because fires can happen more than once, while waiting for new equipment.

When I was 16 I did some part time work at a local shop, 1st day I was cleaning some shelves and saw a tennis ball sized hole in the 16 foot tall ceiling. When I asked about what happened the gents there explained to me about coil springs and told me that their retention bracket failed. I learned to respect the power of springs from their story.

3:29 The man wasn't doing the wrong thing. The chemical that was on fire was coming from the car and since the fire grew so much, the fire was burning on the ground and falling from the car. Thus, the fire had two sources, that would reignite the other. Tough situation and did nothing wrong.

Depends on which portion of the country you live in. The last known OSHA inspection in my area was after somebody died from falling into a grain pit while a truck was dumping. MSHA on the other hand…

[@travanw85]

Class Bravo fire is designated as a flammable liquids fire. The best extinguishing agent is either AFFF or PKP. The most readily available is generally the ABC extinguisher which can work on three classes of fire( alpha, bravo, and Charlie). They are generally a dry chem extinguisher which breaks the chemical chain reaction of the fire.

[@rvmagnum5415]

Back when I was a young mechanic I was the strut master at the shop I worked ( I thought ). I had a strut in a vice pointing up, I hit the strut nut one more time with the impact gun for good measure and the new strut shaft snapped , the spring went through the sealing tiles 20 ft. up and came back down 5 tiles away. the next time same set up only laying flat in the vice I took the spring to the chest , that's when I discovered torque specs was a good thing. Don't pound the nut on with a impact gun, torque it to spec.

As a welder . We where taught in school to know where a fire Extinguisher was in a room or building. And not to panic. Im pretty comfortable with fire.

[@phillipzan2005]

A trick I learned is to lower the vehicle on to the ground and then loosen the spring nut, if the vehicle allows access to the nut. Allow the car to hold the pressure and slow jack it up. Now the right tools is best. But if you are in a pinch and you need to get the job done right now, there you go. Even tightening a strut nut can be very dangerous. If you strip the nut it will come off and the assembly will come apart.

For that last guy: Even if he was tightening I would ask him to think about what happens if he messes up and loosens instead.

[@valterstrumpiks7832]

Or he wedges hes finger in the spring where its gonna compress. Hell want to undo the nut to release tension and voila

[@neoprofin]

I used to work in recycling, so metal compactors, shredders, etc. The first time you have screw with a spring mount (consumer electronics) hit you directly in your safety glasses you never complain again about having to wear safety glasses. We ran pretty tight ship but, there was definitely a night where the new guy tipped over a printer that for some reason had a multi-gallon reservoir of ammonia in it. He came running across the warehouse rubbing his bloodshot eyes. Thankfully it was an easy enough fix, tell bro to take a break and get some fresh air, open the loading dock doors, blast every exhaust fan in the building, wonder why someone puts gallons of ammonia in a printer... Sometimes you just can't see things coming. That just reminded me of when we received a drum of iridium exit signs that were probably 80 years old. Thin glass tubes, already broken. Guy definitely was sent home immediately and given the rest of the day off to shower and relax. I was in charge of "non-conforming equipment" aka "things you should never have ever sent to us" obviously the least stressful job in the world for OSHA compliance. :)

[@merrikkplayzgamez]

2:30 wasted the extinguisher. How to properly use a fire extinguisher 1: make sure the meater is full or in the green on some models, and not expired 2: pull the pin 3: aim the hose at the BASE OF the fire 4: squeeze the handle and use a sweeping motion on the base of a small fire Do make sure to use the appropriate extinguisher for what the fire is, you can find the types on google, however abcd is typically your best bet with almost any fire, and abc is also good as it covers the most common and is cheaper than abcd Edit: typed this before they talked about this, lol

[@echo117a2]

There's probably other comments mentioning something like this but the fire around 2:21 is actually 2 separate fires that reignite the other when one of them is extinguished. Watched some video breaking that clip down a while back. They'd need 2 extinguishers to put it out.
