     Clearly their safety videos on training day aren't cutting it

     I worked in college building semi trailers and at one point I was in charge of running the cranes and you wouldn't believe the number of people who walked under my load as I was moving it across the factory to our line.
     
     "Hey idiot if my strap breaks that's 5 tons and you're instantly dead"
     
     They didn't care. I kept getting them written up for it, but they really didn't care ...

     @feld IKR? Jesus Christ. Clearly that grounds crewman assumed others would be watching out for his safety. Still. What a way to go. Hopefully he lost consciousness pretty quick.

     @r000t @feld Safety was baked in to everything I did at my last job (Electric Utility). And I worked in IT. We started off every meeting (even with an IT vendor) with a safety briefing. A lot of those lessons and best practices I still carry with me into my personal life. It’s a way of thinking. A way of life.

     @feld @gme Safety is culture, not something you attend a webinar about.

     Safety is like security, it requires a defense-in-depth approach, and that it sometimes slows down your workflow *is on purpose*, to give you a chance to think about what you're doing.

     Kinda like a big video game. I was very good at stopping the load. It swings when you stop moving it so you need to compensate by moving it forward a bit while it's on the backswing

     @feld Stupid is as stupid does. Also, driving a crane sounds cool. That time of my life I was working for Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios operating the rides or performing in the Main Street Electrical Parade.

     @feld Looks like the guy died by suicide.

     So maybe the safety briefings worked too well.

     Oh well. If somebody is hell-bent on killing themselves there’s not much anyone can do to stop them.
