I was inspired by the blender thread to speak out about job site safety.
Instead if the horrible videos the EHS&S or HR guy makes you sit through at work, I present you with the best fucking safety video ever made. Brought to you straight from Caterpillar circa 1980. 
Now go forth and post your awesome safety videos |
| German Forklift Training Video 3-1/2 minutes late because I was careful not to make any typos. |

Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg! Love that bell. My boss showed me this before I went in for forklift training a few years back. |
| I don't know how many times I've had to watch "Remember Charlie". Even got to attend his talk live, once. |
I remember one forklift training video...it was all about keeping hands and feet inside the forklift, no passengers, etc. ....so they showed several "accidents" with severed fingers, hands, feet, etc, with "spurting" blood from every wound, which were all total severence and always below the cuff line.

As a professional safety guy... 1. Fuck you, don't make fun of my videos!  2. Fuck any safety guy who actually shows these videos... If you showed videos like these I wouldn't spend my monthly safety training catching up on e-mails And when I ran a fab shop I would show Shake Hands with Danger every few months, the crew would usually make pop corn and fucking loved it |

I almost ripped my foot off with an industrial golf cart as a result of dangling my foot out the side. thank god, i only sprained it good. never again! |

Damn, that's gnarly. I certainly won't be messing with LOX any time soon. On a lighter note, it inspired my new sig line. |

Tag for home viewing.
When I took the old "track safety" class to be permitted on MTA and rail yards we watched 2 movies. One was "The Date" a cheesy one where a guy rushes out for a date and gets creamed by a train and the other was an in house video that had graphic shots of railroad/train/subway accidents. Holy hell was that nasty. 77,000kV shorted to the running rail cooks a person but good. Hospital pix had this poor guys scrotum as large as a honey dew melon - evidently he "boiled" on the inside and survived 3 days before expiring. Hand, eye feet injuries so bad they made you want to puke. And then they got to the suicides.......... |

Speed that press up some.... I can get them some accumulators. |
