@@yttrxstein4192 true
for those who are unaware of BH's BS, they have:
treated therapists like garbage (ala Uber or Doordash)
sold data to third parties (there was a lawsuit over it)
and have let many unqualified therapists onto the platform, which has led to...:
queerphobic "christian" therapists matching with queer people and being, well, awful
same for transphobic therapists
also, there has been people with abusive habits/behaviors (ie manipulative) being therapists
and just ghosting in general
now, if you think "oh, but that only happens to a few people, what's the big deal?" I have to say you could be _that_ person who falls victim to one of these bad therapists, and if you're vulnerable enough, could do some awful stuff
a 10% chance is too high of a chance to risk
@@yttrxstein4192 Why? I ask cause of curiosity.
Glad to see you getting sponsors! Been watching since around 8-10K subs and you've really changed my view of nuclear for the better!
The rapist. I'd be extremely leery of talking to most therapists nowadays due to their professional societies pushing top down wokeness, none of which is scientific.
CDC hierarchy of chemistry safety:
1. Have you considered not doing chemistry at all?
2. How about microbiology? That's basically chemistry, right?
3. Fine, at least do it somewhere else.
4. Oh, now you want to be able to buy supplies? Well you'll need a license for that. What license? The, uh, "chemical buying person" license. Just ask your DMV about it, they'll totally know.
5. You actually went to the DMV and asked? Crap. Alright, fine. But you have to wear this hermetically sealed suit!
Yeah, they gave me that pamphlet too.....
I hate how they manipulate money abs supplies and this licensing business to control and enslave the individual. This is highly detestable to me
To get the chemicals you got to get into this steel box that burns gasoline to get you up to speeds faster than most people can throw a baseball
Cooking dinner is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing
Especially if you pour water on burning oil
@@norbert099 or flour. Crazy things happen though when you panic. My wife has gone to cooking school and is not stupid by any means but even though she knows better the last time something flamed up on the stove she grabbed the flour container and thank God I saw what she was bout to do and yelled to stop before she threw flour on an oil fire. Ran in and tossed a jumbo bag of Arm n Hammer on that bad boy and saved the day. Close call though...
Heat + Anything can become dangerous very quickly
Eating food is dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing
I have special shield specialy made for ocasion when oil starts attacking me with full tornado force.
(How to tell im hella bad cook pov xD)
The only time a hardhat is not required at a construction site is you are a roofer and there is nothing overhead and it's 100 degrees and 99% humidity, and that hardhat is now a safety hazard due to it cooking your head. If there is something overhead you suck it up and deal with it, but there is only so much water can do. Have ever tried sweating when its 100% humidity and almost 100% dewpoint? Sucks to suck.
While doing my roofing apprenticeship, which lasted 4 years, the first year involved 0 actual on the job work skills.
100's hours of safety training was year one.
depends on the jobsite and what the safety standards are bud.
I remember one of my classmates in undergrad asking me if the chemicals we were mixing in specific pairs were safe to mix in ways not indicated by our worksheet. After a second wondering why they were asking me, and a second of thought, I remembered that at the end of the lab, everything we made was to be disposed of in one container in the fume hood. So I told my classmate that, and added that it's good to be safety conscious with that kind of thing, and ask before messing around.
Foreign Material Exclusion event or F-ME had me laughing there at 33:22. Thanks for the video!
I love channels like Nile's because I love chemistry but I lack the knowledge and guts to do anything. It's just fascinating to watch.
I highly recommend you watch more NileBlue. His videos in NileBlue are slightly less serious and more fun, like cooking/baking.
In my universit chemisty class i too learned the hard way to take chemistry safety seriously when i was using a pipet to measure our 1 ml of 18 Molar hydrocloric acid and the air behind the last bit of the acid formed a bubble that popped.
I still have the sweatshirt from that day in my drawer. The tiny dropplets ate through a good 15% of the front of the shirt and i still have a scar over my eyebrow 15 years later.
48:36 "They included, as part of their channels, some of the goofiness..."
Oh trust me, Nile gets hella goofy as well. He just keep it mostly to his NileBlue channel.
as a welder, I've been in places that require the full 9 yards (hard hat, eye pro, ear pro, jacket, gloves, spats, respirator) and places that ban steel toe boots because it's more safe just to leave them at home. that place also didn't require glasses other than specific areas just because it wasn't a hazard. I usually wear thicker gloves than what's needed so I have more flexibility in positioning, but I've seen some guys go thinner so they have more dexterity using pliers
Totally - I think folks sometimes forget that more isn't necessarily better, and it's important to have the right gear for the job. Like wearing gloves in a machine shop is a big no-no, since gloved hands are a lot of machines' favorite food.
oh god he's been found by better help
people have been hating this sponsor
Yeah I really like Tyler and his content but I wish he did some research on this company before accepting the sponsorship.
Yea kinda major oversight there...
Yeah im not gonna blame him for it since hes still new to the sponsorship game, some companies like better help definitely are more sly than others when it comes to there true purpose.
I mean idk they're following all guidelines now.
is it something more than that one therapist who was like "have you tried NOT being gay?"
Regarding corrective lenses, when working with chemicals, it's usually not a good idea to wear contacts, because if you get splashed in the eye, or even from fumes absorbing into the water in your eyes, the chemicals can get trapped in between the contact lense and your eyeball, potentially causing more severe eye damage, and they also of course interfere with eye washing.
Heeyy! Our guy got a sponsor!!
I understand the concerns of certain sponsors, but I just get happy when growing channels I enjoy get more compensation for their content. Keep it up your videos, Mr. Folse~
I'm a mechanic, and even though the vast majority of my job isn't anywhere near as much of a public hazard as nuclear or chemical techs have to deal with, there's still a lot of personal safety stuff.
First of all, we do deal with a lot of flammable chemicals that also cause slip hazards, so we need to know fire safety, cleaning procedures, and wear slip-resistant shoes (with oil-resistant soles, if you don't want to be replacing them once a month). We don't really have a need for a shower, because the only real skin irritants we work with are gasoline, parts cleaner, and brake fluid, and the only real dousing hazard there is gasoline if you're removing a gas tank. We do, however, have the eye wash stations, and they're checked monthly both to check operation and to flush the water so it's not stagnant or moldy.
We also have a _lot_ of physical hazards, in the form of potentially-falling heavy things, splashing, flying metal shavings, flying _hot_ metal shavings, dust etc. falling while you're looking up, sharp edges in tight spaces, things unexpectedly moving, pinch hazards, etc. - and, in most cases, multiple of those at once. The main ppe for all of that is supposed to be safety glasses, hard-toed slip-resistant enclosed shoes, cut-resistant and/or chemical-resistant gloves, and lots of safety lectures about procedure. In practice, lots of people skip the safety glasses and the cut-resistant gloves (I often skip the latter as well, because they make delicate or tight jobs a lot harder), but my employer is notable for buying prescription safety glasses for any employee who requests them. I've noticed some of the younger guys (by which I mean less than forty) never wear glasses, but the older guys (in which I include myself, even though I'm not (quite) forty yet) at least put them on for more hazardous tasks, like when the cutting wheels, bench grinders, drills, and torches come out. Guess which group I've had to remind how to use the eye wash station. 🙄 I've been doing a lot of work lying on my back the last few days, and I've had safety glasses the whole time due to the basic hazard of stuff falling in my eyes.
I've set of ppe I've never actually seen used is the face shield and apron we're technically supposed to use for handling batteries. Yes, lead-acid batteries do technically carry the risk of being splashed with sulphuric acid, but it's an extremely minimal risk; the batteries are mostly sealed with only a very few venting configurations, and essentially no risk of spilling without extremely obvious damage. They can technically vent violently or even explode if shorted or improperly charged, but, again, the risk is minimal, and the worst I've seen was some brief venting when charging an internally-shorted battery; the sulphur smell was the worst part. These days I pretty much exclusively with with AGM batteries (articulated glass mat, basically a fiberglass sponge that holds the electrolyte), which are much safer even than regular lead-acid batteries.
But the biggest part of our safety stuff is definitely procedures (we even have a shadowing process for using the lifts and driving in and out of the service bays). We have one hazards I'm pretty sure you've never had to deal with, which is customers. (Well, fleet managers and drivers, these days, but dealing with them is basically customer service.) We have rules for them, too, like no entry unless accompanied by a tech or manager, no open-toed shoes, no unaccompanied minors, no preteens at all, etc. The problem is, you can't fire a customer for disobeying the safety rules (at least, not at a corporate-owned shop), so there's not a whole lot you can do if they just walk in, if they start poking around their car in the air (look, I get it's the most expensive thing you own, but right now it's a couple thousand pounds of sharp, hot, and pinching bits dangling just overhead and surrounded by potential tripping hazards and dangerous equipment, maybe you could wait outside until I can help you navigate this area safely?) and such. I've seen a guy come to chat with a tech and have his 8-year-old daughter sit on the scissor lift in the meantime (one of the few times I've seen that manager actually yell at someone). Once someone tried to walk in to look at the underside of his car while I was still lifting it; probably the only time _I've_ straight-up yelled at a customer, you do _not_ touch a vehicle in motion, and that's on top of not just walking in unannounced, but moving a safety chain to do so.
And, of course, we can't forget waste streams. Oils, different types of brake fluid, cleaners and solvents (lots of hexane and toluene), washer fluid (methanol), glycol (coolant), various metals and plastics (plus the platinum-group-metal-impregnated ceramic of a catalytic converter), aerosol cans, contaminated mop water, oil dry, rags... Oh, yeah, here's a safety tip you might not know: rags soaked in oils and/or organic solvents can spontaneously combust. We actually have metal fire buckets specifically to contain our dirty rags. Then we have to separate recyclable materials from other recyclable materials (lots of scrap metal recyclers won't take lead, and some things like batteries have to go to specialists), separate our liquid waste (luckily, our waste management company is willing to take oil with a lot of contaminants and chemically separate it themselves; not chlorine, though, so we can't use chlorinated parts cleaner) into oil, glycol, and contaminated water, figure out what to do with nonrecyclable contaminated solid waste... It's complicated everywhere, I guess.
When I was 18 I was replacing the sway bar links on my car, and got rust dust in my eyes (thanks rust belt) luckily I was able to wash out my eyes without any damage. One near miss was enough for me to always wear eye pro from then on. I'm the safety trainer at my job now 20 years later and always tell people it only takes one accident to wish you could go back and do it differently, but since we don't have time machines they will have to wear the prescribed PPE lol
@@kylemiller2920 Sympathies from a fellow rust-belter. I swear sometimes that all cars are made to be sold in Arizona. Even though I work on fleets that rotate vehicles out within five years these days, I still end up wasting hours covering things in penetrating oil and trying everything short of fire to get it loose sometimes. (I'd use fire, too, but the parent company for the fleets won't let us store acetylene or even butane in the maintenance shop.)
I actually wear steel toe shoes as my day to day shoes and they're actually more comfy than any other shoes I've had
Something I learned the hard way working with poisonous fumes from high performance paints. The fumes can burn your ears. 😮
...you're joking....right?
Personally, I had a close experience with a glass shard getting launched towards my eyes while not wearing safety goggles. The only reason it didn't hurt my eyeball was because I blinked in the moment of impact. Stay safe folks
There's a list of common incompatibilities because a lot of them are just non obvious. You wouldn't necessarily expect it just looking at the basic chemistry between them. It's one of those things you just have to check.
"F-ME" = foreign material exclusion, yeah right...tell me it's not intentional lol
If it wasn't intentional, it was immediately considered better for the acronym
I don’t think I had considered shock value in safety before. It makes so much sense that you don’t want to spook someone even if the thing doesn’t physically endanger them
Always enjoy hearing you talk about safety, really liked this one!
Every time you say turbin, instead of turbine, I imagine nuclear engineers walking around wearing turbans :P
greetings from Satsop Washington! I can see the stacks out here every day!
i genuently love your videos man, i learn a lot about radioactivity and such from your videos, also you could watch oversimplified, any video overall, i love that guy
Aged care worker here. Wearing multiple layers of gloves can lead to cross contamination of the hands when removing the glove layers. For this reason it is a strictly enforced prohibition that can lead to dismissal
So the FME program exists to prevent the kind of problems that make people say "Oh, f*** me!" I love clever wordplay and I can't imagine they didn't know what they were doing with that acronym.
I think what you're looking for comparing NileRed and other channels is "professionalism." NileRed's content seems a lot more professional than channels like ElectroBoom or StyroPyro.
one really important thing to think about for something like amateur chemistry is, nigel is right, there are many things you cant do *safely* but you can do them *safer*. if youre aware of your own risk tolerance, and you're re-evaluating that when you decide what to do and how to do it.. well, you can still decide to distill sulfuric acid in your backyard. you can think it though and plan it out and judge how much you really need highly pure sulfuric acid against the risk. people die randomly in car accidents all the time, but the rate of deaths for safe conscientious drivers is significantly lower. that latter rate is what to keep in mind, i think. having that in mind will also help you come up with new safety measures for your situation. even nuclear and lab safety arent "zero risk tolerance" though - otherwise we would do absolutely everything through teleoperation! the institutional risk tolerance is just much lower than you can decide for yourself as an individual.
The days I forgot to wear my steel toed boots they made us wear steel toed slippers over our shoes. Those damn slippers were more of a tripping hazard than any hazard of dropping something on my feet
Thinking about when I worked with chemicals at a pool. I definitely neglected PPE way too much. Part of the reason? Masks and such were uncomfortable and could have germs from the previous person. We also didn’t have a great example of safety from the person managing us my first couple of summers there.
We were dealing with acid and chlorine (similar to household bleach). I should have been more consistent with the PPE I wore, ensured I had closed-toes shoes for certain tasks, etc. Especially when I was switching acid barrels, which had tubes that could have flicked acid on me.
I think of when there was an acid spill back in the pump room. I did grab the mask and apron and throw on closed-toed shoes, etc. I also called the manager to come. I still probably did too much back there, but I wanted to throw a base onto the acid before it did much more damage. (We had soda ash and baking soda on hand… though we usually only needed that to quickly balance the pool PH!) If I’m worried about a spill corroding a wall, concrete, or nearby pipes, I have no business being near it with breathable running shoes.
When I say “spill,” I mean that some equipment failed, and it was leaking-badly. I wasn’t trained on how to handle a leak like that! Acid is supposed to seamlessly go from its barrel in a locked, ventilated room into the pipes to mix with pool water. But it was a small pool, and I was the only employee on site. I did what I could.
I also don’t know if the eye wash station was working… yeah. More training would have been good. I guess there’s a reason that, after a change in management, most of us weren’t supposed to handle some of the tasks I’d handled before.
Common incompatibilities is more of an issue from a lab management side of things - when you are working with any chemicals its expected that you would know if two things are at risk of a violent reaction (Or at least, have immediate preparations for what to do if shit hits the fan), but when it comes to storing or transporting things, placing the wrong things together could mean you are a collapsed shelf or trip away from disaster, that could have been prevented by knowing that things need to be kept seperate. This is especially a concern in larger institutions, where someone could be using something more exotic, and someone else just not know that its a risk.
10:36 not trying to be that guy, but nile directly says it's the worst right before he talks about it.
I think you should do a video sometime about the unusal places you find radioactive things. Maybe like a list from most to least radiactive. Ionozation smoke alarms, thoriated TIG welding rods, lantern mantles contain thorium, etc. Could talk about what type of radiotion, etc.
ive been fumbling around with the shower head just after getting shampoo in my eyes
i was in a robotics competition one year that we built a catapult for. in between matches we were working on it and, for some reason, the catapult suddenly discharged, flinging the massive metal arm right into my friend’s face before he could react. luckily, he had his safety glasses on, because the arm pierced the glasses and ended up stopping a centimeter from his eye. i never questioned the effectiveness of safety glasses after that
Check out styropyro making a long range laser
As someone who once managed to splash a stranger's blood mixed with acid into my eye while simply performing a blood test, I approve of this message. Also you REALLY NEED a fully-functioning fume hood to work with 99% of the stuff NileRed works with.
Not just chemistry, me, and a friend where working on one of my cars when he went to spray a nut with brake clean. It immediately splashed back into one of his eyes. Luckily, our sink does have a removable faucet hose thing. So we where able to use it as an impromptu eye wash and no harm was done other than some irration. But its insane how quickly thing can go from 0-100 real quick when working with any kind of chemical
Nile talking about PPE first is also what makes me wonder. PPE is the last resort for literally any lab hazards, so I expected him to focus more on how he set up his environment to minimize the hazards.
I remember being in science class in high school wearing goggles for decididing if something is sugar or salt. One kid decided it was stupid and got an eye full of salt. Definitely not the worst thing to get in your eye, but its definitely a good eye opener for why you are better safe than sorry
Yeah that definitely sounds like a F Me event breaking a cooling unit during an outage lol
I would add an extra layer of safety and say contact lenses are unsatisfactory in these situations were you need eye protection, because even if you are 100% careful there is still a chance for something to get in your eyes and possibly turn a simply eye washing scenario into contacts being fused to your eyes by chemicals where blindness could easily have been avoided otherwise.
Also I don't want to know if radiation can melt context lenses into someones eyes before they realize it....seems unlikely given that radiation doesnt nessisarily work that way, but I wouldnt want to test fate anyway...not much of a gambler xD
i can just imagine what the poor employee who dropped something in would be thinking during an F ME event
OMG finaly you saw this video, i asked like 10 times for it. Great analisis as always!!!
Bit late to the party, but in my last job (warehouse, risk of dropping stuff on your foot) we had the option to order more comfortable workshoes than was otherwise provided with the employer paying a portion of the cost. These steel toed boots are so comfortable that years later I wear them on the regular just like I would any other sneaker.
Glad to see the sponsorship!
I'm normally an ad read skipper but i accidentally sat through the whole thing just bc i was admiring the segway. Good stuff
I wear steel toed boots and honestly if you break them in they can be pretty comfy. Keen makes some that you can easily wear 12+ hours
Steel toes can be good - or bad. When my dad was in the air force he saw a maintenance worker have his toes amputated when a plane ran over the steel toe. It's not a frequent occurrence but it does happen - the toes might have been able to be saved but you've now introduced blood loss to the list of problems.
Yes, these things are known to happen, but ppl don't consider what the amount of force that bent the steal would have done to flesh and bones. There is no way to recover anything from what literally is mash potatoes.
During a chemistry experiment in school we were working with concentrated sulphuric acid. The whole class shared a bottle of the acid and a pipette for adding it to our experiments. One girl went to put the pipette down flat on the bench and the act of her placing it down was enough to shoot a few tiny drops out of the end, right onto my arm and side, my side was protected by my shirt but my arm caught a few drops, it burned pretty well but I got it under a tap very quickly so damage was minimal, still scarred though.
So even something that seems as simple and trivial as putting a pipette down on a bench can be dangerous too, it’s not something that a normal person would think twice about but with just a small amount of thought could easily be avoided, like requiring all pipettes to be placed tip down into a beaker rather than laid down on the desk. However like Tyler said that is just rules and requires people to follow them so unless everyone involved follows the rules completely then things like this can happen, often due to complacency.
When I was in undergrad chem classes I remember goggles being more hazardous to me than helpful. They would fog up so densely and quickly I could not see.
I had to use an eye wash station in secondary school, it’s 2nd on my “uncomfortable things” tier list, just under visiting the dentist.
you are telling me the sysadmins at the nuclear plant is not wearing shorts to work ? i cant believe that
3:21 funny you mention acid, NileRed himself has said he actually has a scar from an acid burn on his hand, because he noticed it but didn't immediately wash his hands because he was holding the video camera and he didn't want to ruin his shot lok
Once I was soldering a large heat synced barrel jack. So I was pulling on it wile hitting it with a heat gun. I lost my grip and the flux and solder shot into my face. My glasses stopped it in its tracks. Still splatters on my face some. Learned tones that day. But I did not have to loose or fuck up my eye.
a good reference for chemical reactive hazards is Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards.
reminds me when I had to do some home painting and had to find the right gloves for the solvent used in the paint, looking up a table and finding what's sold at the hw store.
Contacts also weren’t allowed in our chem lab because of fumes possibly irritating the eyes.
I've seen this video before. I love the reaction to it. But I gotta say...I still dig on that t-shirt he's wearing, the Erlenmeyer flask with the asp/cobra in it. Very apropos.
In grade 9, I was in metalwork class and a piece of molten slag landed in my eye I had to use the eye wash for like 20-30 minutes until my eye didn't hurt
Should have worn ppe
@gamerboi608 I was it went under my glasses 😭 but I did almost lose my eye from blacksmithing without glasses and I was making a knife and it was red hot jumped out of my pliers and hit me in the eye
Another way to remove gloves is to use one to remove the other then go under the cuff of the remaining glove and remove it by turning it inside out thus trapping the contaminant inside.
btw just want to advise you to avoid taking better help as a sponsor, they have been very controversial about how they sell confidential information on their patience and have been overall scummy in how they handled the situation. it would be best to avoid dealing with them in the future.
this is coming from a dude that larps as an anime girl on youtube. sounds like you need better help
@madjack1748
This reply coming from someone whose video playlists look like a 10-year-olds.
@ you just like 10 years olds, creep.
14:04 imagine a wood or some iron splinter stuck inside the sink
and boom you have bleeding burning eye
Thought I’d recommend one bit of anime, of all things:
Dr. Stone.
Science, chemistry, mystery, explosions, cave men…lot of fun to be had.
Might be an interesting react for you, in future. ^^
Yes, totally agreed
anime is gay
You should watch latest Sciencephile video about ranking energy sources. We can probably guess which rank you place nuclear energy on, but opinions on other ranks would be good to know as well!

I'm not a professional anything interesting, but I do like science and engineering. I can't tell you how many times my glasses have saved me when I was a dumb kid. Now I get the biggest ones my optometrist has. Unfortunately my social standing has suffered as a result.
yessss!!!!! you got mf-in sponsored man! way to go!!!!!!!
Unfortunately it seems that it's for a company that sells the confidential information their patients supply to facebook and google to spam them with ads relating to the problems they're seeking help for with their therapist.
Y'all not going to mention that story about the woman who died because the mercury compound went through her glove?
Been a while since it last happened, but it looks like RUclips is randomly unsubscribing people from channels again. I resubscribed.
As they say, warnings are written in blood.
moral of the story, existing is dangerous
Well done on that lead-in for sponsorship... but it is a good fit fyi.
Styropyro has a new video out on a 2000 watt laser

YYYYAAAAAAAYYYY SPONSORSHIP
Just a shame it's a sponsor that's somehow even sketchier than RAID.
@@utsuhoreiuji2309 at least when you can use this sponsor, it’s more helpful than harmful
no lol betterhelp is a scummy company
You should check out poormans chemist. He does a lot of chemistry but he's really good at rare uranium compounds.
Hello people, just wanted to ask how everyone is. By the way, this is a good vid. (as always)
When I was cleaning my bathroom using Window Cleaner and Bleach I forgotten to keep the chemicals separated (Using bleach on the floor Window cleaner on the toilet) and I accidentally Sprayed window cleaner on an area where bleach is and BAM I had to get the fuck out of the bathroom and Had been coughing for days…
is it correct the bulk of low level waste is gloves and coats?
I had a lecturer who was like the epitomy of lab safety. And I'm lucky I had him because lab safety is sooo important.
Whenever I'm in a new lab I always check what waste canisters are for what reagents etc. Most labs that I have worked in (biochem/microbio) don't wear safety glasses. I feel like an outlier among most biochemists but I'd rather look like an idiot than have acid or E.coli in my eyes :D
And what comes to gloves. If I'm working with bacteria I usually don't wear them because it's easier to spot contamination without and just desinfect your hands. Also this way there is no waste as you should replace the gloves to reduce the risk of further contamination. But when workin with solvents/acids/bases etc. reagents I use gloves.
During my bachelor's degree there was a bacteriology and virology lab course durung which one of the students had an eye infection due to a microbe they worked with (it was an environmental sample so the consequences could've been worse)
Okay this is turning into a full blown out rant but I've seen people eating in our university restaurant with their lab coats on. That's an immidiate red flag because the campus I work in is bio, agri or environmental sciences. So bringing your lab coat brings all the nasty bacterias you're working with. Most of which are GMOs.
Oh! And there was this one student who had fipflops in lab. I'd love to see the discussion they had with our supervisor! :D
Every time I see this guy I want him to react to Kodys lab refinement of uranium ore
sounded like a geiger counter in the background, never heard that on past vids.
Ah, I'm glad you showed the hierarchy. Most people see ppe and think that's how we protect workers. Ppe is our last choice, which is why it's at the bottom.
hell yea got a sponser now 👍
You ever consider reacting to the proper peoples exploration of an abandoned nuclear power plant?
Wow.... What happened at 25:28...
It looks like a totally different day... LoL.
Or some emergency
great video
I wouldn't accept sponsorships from BetterHelp in the future if I were you, they do not have a good track record. Typically it's best to steer clear of controversial sponsors. Just a heads up, do what uou want, I'm not your mom.
Fun fact, in some situations like in warehouses, they'll actually suggest not wearing steel toe boots because there have been cases of people losing all of their toes because something ridiculously heavy somehow ended up on top of them. Off the top of my head I can think of one example and that's a forklift running over your feet. So in that situation the steel toes are kind of pointless 😂 29:25
FME event? You can't tell me yall don't call that a "Fuck me" event.
