This may sound familiar to those of you my age or older… “This is how real men work”.  Watch this video all the way through and not only will you see some unreal working conditions as they relate to machine guarding and PPE, you will also see some serious bouts of strength.  It’s a video…...

I am trying to find information on this incident.  OSHA could not be more clear on this tasks: General Industry 1910.252(a)(3)(i) Used containers. No welding, cutting, or other hot work shall be performed on used drums, barrels, tanks or other containers until they have been cleaned so thoroughly as to make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that there…...

NEW video added at the bottom, shows tank collapsing into pool fire and many other angles and close-ups.

WARNING!  Viewer Discretion is STRONGLY advised as this video may be upsetting.  It shows a Hot Work Explosion and workers being thrown from the explosion and they perish in the accident.
