Safety Violations
How often do you violate safety doing DIY projects? Including stickler shit like not wearing proper PPE, to just outright disregards for the well being of you and others.
i like watching my empties rattle off the tablesaw
never because I dont like giving hospital israelites my money
this thread already exists and i was too moronic to read the catalog
mods politely delete thx
t. op
>disregards the well being of you
Nearly always
>and others
Never
Doing diy projects? Hell I don't follow safety during my actual job
I don't because if you're smart you don't need to. I do exceed them for example when I lockout/tagout the fuses also go in my pocket.
>not wearing proper PPE
well I don't wear a bright yellow or orange vest, or a hard hat so...
they could do a week long isha training on the things I do wrong in one day
*osha
Safety: always off.
>still reddit fingering
Yikes!
>muh reddit finger means you won't shoot wussy!
*Blocks your path*
Based, gun safety drones are insufferable.
I was with a co-worker who was showing off his new pistol after work in the parking lot.
He cleared it before handing it to someone, who immediately cleared it again, looked at it for 2 seconds handed it off for the third guy to immediately cleared it AGAIN.
I just rolled my fricking eyes.
Funny how people clamor on about others being afraid of inanimate objects, but then act like this.
When you handle guns often it becomes habit anon. I can understand where you are coming from but I would be doing the same probably.
The firearm is not clear for you until you cleared it yourself. Most trained people are idiots and will clear a gun and its still loaded. Accidents happen all the time. Remember the vid of the DEA agent who cleared his gun then shot himself in front of a classroom full of kids?
>DEA agent
possibly even more moronic than the average person, so not a great example
I have a Remington 870 the sticks a bit.
Few years ago I cleared it twice and put it into the case, when I got home started cleaning it and surprise surprise there was still a shell in the tube.
Scared the shit out of me.
>inb4 the /k/ ND copypasta
I do electrical work on 110 without cutting the breaker.
Lol I got buzzed this week
I mean, it's all the way downstairs.
And a little 110 buzz in your hands won't do much worse than wake you up. Keeps ya on your toes.
I never wear eye pro
>I know when to blink
> storing batteries near furniture.
> looking too close into the hole i'm drilling with no eye protection.
> piling up pillows on top of the chair or a rattly table to reach the ceiling.
> dusting clouds of dust / spray painting with no respirator.
all that is balanced by always switching off electricity before doing anything related to lights or sockets. i don't mess with this 220v shit.
>no eye protection.
I never understand why people don't use it. trying to go through life blind would be awful. why risk it?
Because every time I put any sort of eyepro on it fogs over within minutes. And using powertools while I cant see seems a whole lot more dangerous than
all generic safety googles have that fricking glare and distort vision because they are not adjusted to your pupil distance.
i dont know why anti glare coating is not a thing on those, like every pair of glasses has that these days.
Never owned a pair of prescription googles, i suspect they dont have these glaring safety issues
Every risk I take is calculated. I was reading in some industry rag years ago that the safest railroad is one where no trains move and no cars get switched. I guess that stuck with me. You definitely need to break some eggs to make an omelete, but it better be worth it.
>How often do you violate safety doing DIY projects
I usually ignore safety when the hazard is only temporary, such as cutting fingers or burning my arms. But when it involves permanent damage or cancerous materials/smoke/fumes I always put on the correct PPE if only because it's more comfortable to do it that way.
In my free time I do woodworking and I always wear a respiratory and goggles when doing anything that would create sawdust because I met a dude when I was a kid who got winded climbing up a set of stairs despite never smoking or drinking and being pretty healthy because he had inhaled so much sawdust. Other than that I live pretty fast and loose with it, my shop is heated by a wood stove and every so often Ill catch myself putting the linseed oil a lil too close to the stove tee hee
>How often do you violate safety doing DIY projects?
Almost never
I have chronic pain from a non-diy related injury. People dont understand the reality of what "chronic" actually entails.
Permanent, forever, all the time. It doesnt go away when you need to concentrate, when you need to travel, when you need to sleep.
Its a nag that mentally drains you, but it doesnt matter as Its still there..
No PrepHole project is worth potentially subjecting yourself to that.
Hell, even a small injury that keeps you from getting shit done isnt even worth it.
Its not that hard to be safe.
I am always safe, I have seen some accidents, near accidents, and never wanted to be injured or responsible, so I required everyone to do the right thing - always.
I used to be a safety officer.
My job was to tell people not to be moronic, file reports, and get yelled at for shit I had no control over, so I quit.
Extremely rarely, I work in a woodshop and am hyper aware of all the hazards and just can't turn it off when doing home projects
Bad shit just happens way too fast to prevent, and luck only lasts for so long
Even while day drinking on the weekend I still always unplug / remove the battery from tools before adjusting them, re-route power cords to avoid trip hazards, keep finger off of the switch until ready, etc it's just habit
