Go or wait?

The detour does not exist. Drive under the platform or wait?
In any case, the workplace was not secured.

Safety guard for fire extinguisher

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 10:37:34 +0000

No, it's a joke. This is no safety guard! This is an obstacle that increases the time for using the fire extinguisher and is definitely an undesirable condition!

Very interesting sound insulation

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 10:29:38 +0000

It is a vacuum pump for a pneumatic conveying system. It's very noisy.

The employer therefore decided to soundproof the room. He used paper egg trays to do this.

Highly flammable material. This is definitely not right!

Overturning a special combine

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 09:52:04 +0000

It is a special combine for extracting sludge from the sludge field.

He was driving down the ramp to the truck's low loader.

The staff was inexperienced. The operator did not realize the risk of overturning and the need to drive backwards.

It ended in a nasty head injury.

Fuel and cancer risk

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 09:08:49 +0000

Do you use hand protection when refueling? Are you aware of the risks? Gasoline is a carcinogen and diesel is suspected of carcinogenicity.
It must therefore not come into contact with the skin. It is also ideal to turn on the automatic pumping fuse and move away, away from fumes.

Emphasize this information to trained employees. Most people are still unaware of these risks and do not protect themselves from them!

Maintenance of air conditioning from the ladder

What's wrong with this photo?

Dangerous edge of the loading ramp

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 07:59:12 +0000

The customer is waiting for the delivery of goods (furniture) from the warehouse.

I don't know how to do with you. But with us, the free edges of the ramps must be secured. E.g. detachable guardrail.

Falling from the ladder

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 07:44:35 +0000

The employee leaned the ladder against the bigbag and covered the bag with plastic. Exactly as in the photo.

There was loose material in the bigbag. The material moved, and with it the ladder. This jerk caused the employee to fall from a height and cause a serious fracture.

Nevertheless, the employer did not learn.
The solution does not have to be complicated. Create a solid and safe position or use a moving platform.
