This comment pissed some people off. Calm down morons!! I'm a fucking pipe fitter I've been doing it since I was 18. 20 years old is still pretty fucking young. Most people who are working in these jobs don't do it because its the most amazing and fun job in the world. They do it cause it pays good and 20 years old is old enough to have some experience but fuck you if you think some 20 year old kid planned on giving his life up for this job. That wasn't no 20 year old kids passion. That was a kid trying to get by who got killed

I was a safety manager for a major oil field service company working in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. This was back in the 80's. The sad thing is, these type accidents were just about as common as broken fingers in the industry. My company had strict, supervised policies about hot work, and yet guys would still be caught violating those policies- I was constantly harping on them and conducted many training sessions about how to do this type work safely. I would be walking around out district maintenance shop and get stupid remarks of ridicule from employees for being so insistent on safety measures- But, I never let up. Too many people in other companies were being killed and injured by this type of accident. It is easy to prevent if you just take the time to set up precautions and to think about it for a few minutes. It does not have to happen. I was laid off a few years into this job because of an economic slump in the industry- The first people who were let go were the safety people.

"Our flammable vapor detection protocol is to stick a lit oxyacetylene torch into the tank we need to check. If the tank doesn't explode, it's safe to work on it." Three questions: Q1: When did nitrogen get expensive? If they would have simply purged the whole tank farm with nitrogen before doing the hot work, no accident could have happened. (Of course, knowing these guys' proclivity for reckless behavior they probably would have gotten in the tank to hold the fitting from the other side, and managed to appear in another CSB video at the same time.) Q2: Just how long has the crack epidemic been going on anyway? and... Q3: Did they throw the person who came up with this testing method in jail for terminal stupidity, and if not why not?

It was two days before we allowed hot work onboard again and every fitting on base in Yokosuka had to be re checked and entire new rules written.

A year ago shortly after I made full time security at my job, myself and my coworker were watching a group of our engineers (Casino) doing some work high above the pool area. They didn't use scaffolding, instead they jury-rigged ladders together to create a platform they could stand on and we were getting multiple complaints from guests about how unsafe it looked. We went to take a look, but my coworker said "it is fine, they are professionals after all," and let it go. Me however I was worried (I had done that kind of work before, so I already knew how unsafe that was) and mentioned it to my boss, much to the anger of my coworker who felt I was being to paranoid. Suffice it to say, it proved to be the right thing. Our Director of Risk Management was on property doing a tour of some of the renovations when my boss told her about the potentially unsafe conditions, she went out there and despite me being inside at the time and up on the second floor, you could hear him riping the engineers a new one. It took those three idiots almost forty minutes to get off of their little makeshift ladder scaffold. Two ended up getting fired for unsafe work conditions, while the other (who was a supervisor) was removed from his position. Got quite a bit of hell from my coworkers though for being a 'snitch', since it apparently that was 'standard procedure' since putting up scaffolding would take up to a couple hours and be a 'waste of time' but as far as I am concerned, if any of our guests had recorded it (which I'm sure some did) and OSHA or someone else found out about it before we dealt with it, we'd have faced some pretty stiff fines. One thing people don't understand about our work as security in the casino industry, is that on some properties, we are also responsible for monitoring safe work conditions (because of how much of a presence we typically have, we usually have one safety inspector on property are all times, but he is just one person. For a security shift, well I'm not allowed to say how many we have on shift, but it's enough to cover the property and monitor what is going on) To bad, I liked that job to (damn covid)

I think gas monitor should be placed in strategic locations around any hot work and active during the entire process the sound of an alarm if there is flammable gas detected even if it is not explosive level

Not real surprised the body of the one person in the acid explosion was not found. Body probably ended up in the sulfuric acid and got dissolved.

Why do those exploded oil tanks remind me of those giant fireworks that shoot balls into the sky that fly around and shoot sparks while spinning then explode?
@greg39305 жыл бұрын
When you find yourself on a burning oil tank, you will forget about any fireworks, and I hope the balls will not fly into the sky.

I have worked for number of chemical companies in the UK after leaving school, the majority of them had strong safety rules concerning any maintenance work and indeed BEFORE any repairs or examination work was carried out, strict safety regulations were always applied in those early days,1950's, a few years later as BIGGer corporations took over the small plants where I had worked, regulations were considered a nuisance and worse still, jobs were being carried out by unqualified or inexperienced individuals on a 'Quick in and out' style', Time is money, I saw the problem arising, it seems that Major Corporations are dictated by Cash Flow/Profits, therefore it becomes a habit to make maintenance or repairs on an 'AS NEEDED' basis, and find someone...anyone, who'll do the repairs at the lowest price was the new Normal.Many American corporations,Union Carbide and Bhopal for instance, The firm in ITALY which exposed a whole town to DIOXIN in the 70's Many Oil Companies and the very large American corporations are operated in this manner. THis is what occurs when MONEY becomes the PRIME product, rather than the actual manufactured product which is surely more important especially when the default corporation can hire the legal equivalent of there own Philosophy,Samrt Legal representatives whi are able to turn disasters into FAULTS committed by the offending party, i.e the worker/s rather than the Corporation Executives. The case of Union Carbine and Bhopal is a particularly interesting example to read up.
