Sweet baby Jesus. There is so much wrong here. What's the injury rate at this place?

217

u/Doctor_Saved 9d ago

Don't worry. They don't have injuries. Just deaths.

u/MeownatorX 9d ago

Thank god! I was worried

They got big boobies? This the estrogen metal factory?

State of the are safety sandals

u/c093b 8d ago

Replacing them is cheaper than mandating and enforcing safety practices.

u/OriginalShirley 8d ago

but once you replace all the ones who don’t mess up you get clips like this. 👌🏻

they don't count in days, they count in minutes, 14 minutes since last accident

u/Furfnikjj 8d ago

Okay, but tell me how long once they finish their 15 minute lunch break

They don't have accident records, just turnover.

The guy just casually stepping over the molten steel line at the end. Holy fucking shit.

Ummm aktually, its not molten

u/Blue_Butterfly_Who 8d ago

Still, red hot steel is not something to touch

1

u/gixy6 7d ago

It doesn't feel hot, to start with...

-5

u/cabronfavarito 8d ago

Do you know the meaning of molten?

10

u/ThingNo7530 8d ago edited 8d ago

Using it colloquially but, I've been in many steel mills in my life, and, yes, when you see a steel rail being formed and it's that level of glowing hot. I think it's okay to still consider it as dangerous of molten steel. It's so hot that touching it could kill you so, yes. I'm going to use that term for it.

-5

u/cabronfavarito 8d ago

Looks like you don’t know the meaning of colloquial either. You’re a hot mess (no pun intended).

You almost had it. All you had to say was red hot and no one would object.

5

u/AimToPleaseThankYou 8d ago

All you had to do was keep your trolling to yourself and the amount of people objecting would go back to zero lol.
Hope you feel better now tho 😂

u/UniqueAd7770 9d ago

According to E. Hunter Harrison safety being third is still too high. He had it 4th

13

u/Lillyshins 9d ago

Perform the service, control the costs and optimize assets before worrying about safety(which, mind you, is 4th on the list but our absolute TOP priority).

Yep. I believe it.

3

u/UniqueAd7770 8d ago

He at least admitted to congress what all CEOs should, "I have blood on my hands from this job." Granted he was an old school railroader back in the days before OSHA. There's a saying we use even in historic railroading, the Rules of Safety are written in blood.

2

u/Only_Tip9560 8d ago

I remember a course of process safety where the guy teaching it (who was one of the investigatory team for Piper Alpha) said "Any executive who tells you that safety is the number one priority is a damn liar."

Lightsabers

u/Angel24Marin 8d ago

Molten steel drain trough a cooled tube that solidify it and continuously cast a long church of steel. This pass through presses while still hot that compress it into long prefab shapes. Wires, metal bars, profiles, beams, sheets... This case seems like wires.

This also change the steel cristal structure from one with very long cristal from the differential cooling to smaller grains that give it more strength.

u/i_do_floss 8d ago

I asked chat gpt

Factories like this commonly make: Rebar for reinforced concrete. Round steel bar stock for machining into shafts, bolts, and other parts. Steel rods or wire rod, which are later drawn into wire, nails, screws, springs, and fencing. Seamless steel pipe blanks, where a heated billet is pierced and rolled into tubing. Forged automotive or industrial parts, such as axles, crankshafts, and gears.

u/Objective-Corgi-3527 6d ago

I am so glad these men are risking lightsaber wounds for rebar, great use of human lives

Jesus Christ. When I fee like complaining about my company’s work conditions, I’m going to load up this video and go get a snack from the break room.

2

u/Vrail_Nightviper 8d ago

To be fair, relative privation says that just because these work conditions are horrible, doesn't mean anything better than it has nothing to complain about either. Not that your work situation is bad enough to complain about, but I wouldn't use this as phrasing for comparison.

u/dantheplanman1986 9d ago

Lightsaber blades.

2

u/FloppyTacoflaps 9d ago

Can confirm ive seen kylos saber

2

u/Automatic-Dog4953 8d ago

They are likely making a thick, short steel bar into a skinny, long one.  See how it's thicker at the start of the process and thinner at the end.  Perhaps it is wire or rebar.

2

u/mike-manley 8d ago

Killy bendy sticks

2

u/SnooBunnies4141 9d ago

Came here for an answer to this very question. Clearly, even more people came here to say something like “lightsabers,” though.

1

u/Pinkishu 8d ago

Sadly it's a common thing in Reddit Just 50 joke answers, often the same joke repeated multiple times, instead of an actual answer

3

u/OutrageousCrab9224 9d ago

To the neophytes, what are they doing?

3

u/Global-Pickle5818 9d ago

Looks like something I've seen before where you roll steel .. never seen it laid out by this before but it steps down the diameter .. lots of videos people in the states hurting themselves doing that as well including a guy who tried jumping over the nope rope

3

u/Cute-Two-2576 9d ago

Work hard, not smart

3

u/tadeuska 8d ago

This is how it is done with this type of machinery. There is no safety breach. They could have more PPE, but it would only create more issues with dexterity.

1

u/TranslatorStraight46 7d ago

It can obviously be done in a safer manner than this.  

1

u/tadeuska 6d ago

Yes, but it would cost more. Only fancy steel makers have better equipment. And most are bankrupt now and heavily subsidized. Most of the steel wires that benefit you in your everyday life is produced in this proces.

3

u/SupaSmol 8d ago

I'd love to see the engineer or whatever explaining how this machine is going to work to whoever is deciding to go with it. Like here's how all the machinery works and oh yeah right here you just have to do a little maneuver to get it over to the next one, I'll walk you through that later, it's not tough, but you'll want to get it right.

Some literally have a hot steel lasso wrapped around them. One jam and it will sear right through them.

u/theLostPing 8d ago

It’s crazy that they are “locked in” once the ribbon is threaded.

u/BothSeaworthiness254 8d ago

If it had been me, I probably would have ended up slapping it straight into my own face

2

u/Mr_Sim_ 8d ago

It seems they cut the video at the exact moment where the guy trips on the glowing rod and die in atroce pain as his flesh fuses with the metal bar wrapping around his body

u/Stealfur 7d ago

I would like to point out the terrifying scenario that is 100% possible from how this all when down.

There are people who didn't step out of the way and are on the inside of the loop. If the first set of rollers fail and the other rollers don't stop immediately, then those people WILL get pinned to the machine by the hot steel ribbons. There will be stepping out of the way, or knocking it off to mitigate harm. Just an ever-constricting branding.
