Video of the Week

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. In March of 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated the Tohoku area of Japan.  This disaster included some of the most significant BLEVE type failures of LPG spheres ever recorded, at the Chiba refinery

This is a great example of “know your surroundings”!  LNG is INVISIBLE, even on the most humid of days, when its at its LEL – meaning, although there is no “cloud” there is a good chance you may be in a flammable atmosphere if your around an accident.  These people had no way of knowing

This week Facebook provided the usual ton of garbage available in the human race!  This week a friend shared a posting about how Americans are calling Uber instead of an ambulance; not because Uber is faster, but because ambulance rides are so much more expensive.  This was what appeared to be a legitimate hit piece

With this week’s flash fire that sent over 20 workers to the hospital, I thought this video would be timely.  This is a demo video by an FRC maker, and it shows us how the vapor and flame interact.    

Hollywood has made a mockery of fixed fire protection systems.  From showing sprinklers going off when the fire alarm is pulled to all sprinklers seemingly being “deluge systems“!!!!   Well, finally we have footage of how a sprinkler system behaves.  If you’re like me, you’ve sat in these restaurants and watched all the fires rage

I just saw this one, not my video, but WOW!
