  • Hi, I’m, among other things, an industrial safety guy.

    It’s understandable not to know this, but I’m industry there’s a standard practice of locking out equipment that’s being maintained. Either by physically placing a lock on the power box or by simply putting the plug to the device in your pocket for smaller equipment. And then ensuring that all the energy in the equipment has been exhausted and that the machine cannot be started.

    This is the subject of one of many annual trainings for everyone in any given facility.

    When changing blades or cleaning equipment, it would be standard that it’s locked out during this process. So wearing gloves and presumably arm guards to protect against laceration when working with blades would be not only acceptable but I imagine expected.

    Most of us have seen the “lathe video.” We know.

    I have occasionally found the Google search AI handy in pointing me in the right direction, like when I can’t remember or don’t know a particular term for something, it’s decent at giving me the term I’m actually searching for. Can’t trust it for shit as it’s intended to be used though.

    There are low sugar sports drinks. Most of the electrolytes they’re advertising is just salt. Your body needs salt to function. You lose salt when you sweat.

    My doctor told me I come literally just put some table salt in water and it would do just as well as any sports drink, sugar or no.

    I work in a physical environment and they hand out electrolyte packets and Gatorade like candy when it gets hot.
