I know this is mostly a shit post, but if you're ever working on anything that has the slightest ability to maim, electrocute, etc use lock out tag out procedures. Industrial accidents are real, and can take someone from this world in a heartbeat. Stay safe nerds!
Come on, some plastic boxes, tags, and padlocks are worth more than a human life, right? Won't someone for once PLEASE just think of the SHAREHOLDERS
It literally takes 5 seconds to grab a hobo outside and put a work shirt on them. Do you understand how long it takes to make custom molded plastic boxes? I swear people don't want me to get my second super yacht or something, greedy fucks
If hobos are so cheap and plentiful, why don't we start making padlocks out of them instead?
'stand here and make sure no one touches this'
We tried that in the 1920s but it was too depressing
This used to have a much larger impact before 3d printers.
I heard some horror stories when I was a TV engineer, usually from people not doing lock out tag out or disabling safety features to do the job faster.
It was kind of surprising to me to see that it was literally a lock like youโd put on a storage shed or something. I thought it would be something fancier.
It doesn't need to be secure, they fire anyone who removes someone else's lock.
