We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

We as in you did? If so, Fuck you. I know too many people who have been injured because of assholes who disabled those interlocks. LOTO is a lifesaver.

Edit: ok I saw in a later post that you didn't do that. But still - to anyone who considers disabling a safety interlock - just jump right in after doing so.

I tell all the new guys "if your manager doesn't want you want to lock something out, call me. I'll lock it out. There's nothing in this place worth getting hurt for."

Here, our equipment is old enough that sometimes powering things down means they don't come back up properly. I'd rather fight getting a machine back up and running vs having to hear about someone being injured.

Calm the fuck down. This wasn't a "Russian lathe accident" situation. We were trained professionals, and never left the machines unattended in an unsafe state. There were no injuries and only that one close call (which IIRC was traced back to a faulty e-stop button).

We never fell victim to complacency and I am quite proud of that.
