This ad is titled, “Ignoring workplace procedures can kill.” In this ad not following posted instructions and warnings doesn’t work out too well for this man.
Senior Design Engineer! Got Controls? Motors? High quality of life ~ low cost of living! Looking for a pro here – GREAT client – high quality of life and low cost of living…
By looking out for each other you can help save lives and prevent injuries from heat related injuries. Know the symptoms and seek medical attention immediately for you and your buddy.
This video demonstrates how fast heat stress can come on and the dangerous implications.
While the operation of dangerous equipment may seem not so dangerous anymore to a seasoned operator, new employees may be overwhelmed and unprepared. (Don’t) take a tip from this early training film.
We’ve come a long way in both safety and equal opportunity. But there are still safety tips that can be gleaned from that by-gone era.
In this fun excerpt from a NAHETS training video, a backhoe operator “jumps” the backhoe over a trench and form board, with mad operator skill.
An instructor discusses the Crane Operator training course at OKCC a NAHETS certifying institution.
The water truck keeps dust down and assists in soil conditioning. A large water truck might hold 20,000 gallons, the equivalent of in-ground pool.
The wheel loader can hold up to 38 tons, the weight of 12 full size pickup trucks. It digs, transporting material, spreads dirt, and loads trucks.
The Scraper has a shovel so big it needs 6 wheels and a massive engine to keep it off the ground and moving. Used in large earth moving projects, sometimes so large a bull dozer will push from behind!
Has a large blade in the middle called the mulboard. The first Grader was invented in 1875 and pulled by horses. Used for spreading, fine grading, and earth moving.
Used for ditching, trenching, and digging. It is able to dig a whole more than 38 feet deep.
Cranes are vital where heavy materials are handled constantly and need to be lifted and lowered with pinpoint accuracy.
The backhoe is like the Swiss Army Knife of construction equipment. Used for digging, ditching, loading trucks, transporting dirt, and excavating.
Used to create a more stable building surface. It vibrates as it moves forward smoothing the ground as it goes.
An essential part of a building construction site. Large models can easily lift a load equal to that of a pickup truck and hoist it the top of a 4-story building.
One of the first things on a job site. It’s transporting and dumping capabilities are invaluable.
Originally designed as a tractor for pulling trees, the blade was added and now it is used for ripping, back-filling, spreading dirt, and towing equipment (or pushing equipment like the scraper )
Small but vital. Levels, smoothing, and transporting. It can be transformed to do the work of many machines with a wide variety of work tools.
This promo video for the European Association of Electrical Contractors (AIE) explores the potential and possibilities of electricians in the 21st century and the advancements in technology that are changing this industry and modern life.
Are you a mad scientist? Apply within. With or without “evil laugh” (but I understand there is an additional bonus available) ~ Solder Paste product development in a lab environment – developing formulations.
As crazy as this may sound, I have found another use for the Wildcat goggle. Some may laugh but this is a true story!!
We have a variety of resources about ARC flashes around CoTradeCo, and while I can’t tell if this Lego Man experienced an ARC flash or literally grabbed onto the power supply, I thought you might enjoy this little clip as a more light reminder of ARC flash protection.
