      Hey you should check out the Ghent West Virginia Little General Store explosion and collapse in 2007! Lots of negligence, poor decisions, lack of training, etc. (Channel staples). Not a high-profile event and few deaths/injuries but worth looking into.

      Well I have been thinking about sending you a few pounds anyway and getting that card would be kinda cool. I am retired and doing my own stuff now but what you say is still relevant to anyone with potentially difficult work to do. I could put it right next to my beloved quote from Robert Pirsig
      "The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called 'yourself'."
      "The study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself. Working on a motorcycle, working well, caring, is to become part of a process, to achieve an inner peace of mind. The motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon."
      Both supply the rational thinking man with tools to accomplish great things while avoiding great disasters.

      ditto I have other questions though like if they didn't want to use 8 slings to do this job why not increase the size of the slings to a 4" or a 6" and use kevlar sling savers around them. Slings are fairly cheap they are like 2$ per " increase in thickness per foot. eg. if a 6' long 2" sling is around 40$'s. a 6" sling is around 80$'s. Is there a reason to use small slings? I assume it has to do with clearances and binding. Otherwise if the guys don't wanna take the time to rig up 8 slings to hoist a collar I would offer that solution or recommend they use .75" steel cables.

    In high school, I had a rather quirky mathematics teacher. He had a booming voice, and a golden ruler, which he would throw so it would land on the floor next to a student he wanted to deal with. It was pretty common for him to throw the ruler, hold up a piece of home work and shout "STUDENT! What is this? How many times have I told you: When all else fails: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!"

      My high school math teacher refused to allow them to replace his chalkboard with a markerboard or a smartboard. Most teachers had markerboards by then (2000-2001). He joked that the marker fumes made him high. I would sometimes put his chalk in his eraser between the cracks in the material and it would leave a mark on the board when he erased. He would throw the chalk across the room at me.

      You can always get away with forging documents and cutting corners until make something to raise wrong (or right by legal standpoint) person's eyebrows. Most OSHA-violations are just "part and parcel" of the job and are handled as such, but a falling crane is not anymore.
      Saying this as nothern European, this kind of indifference seems to be engrained to US culture, which is exactly why there are for example so many jokes about "insufferable co-workers freaking out from not following every safety rule to the letter" in American media. That kind of jokes simply do not exist in my culture.

      Remember Ford in the 70's with the Pinto? Ford did a Cost Benefit Analysis and found fixing the problem to be more expensive then just letting their customers die, and paying out the settlement. So they didn't fix the issue.

    Funny thing about videos like this. I've spent a lot of time watching safety videos, showing properly trained workers wearing proper clothing doing a job quite properly, and after watching I come away feeling I've wasted time, and absolutely not the least motivated to change any habits or procedures. I honestly can say I feel more "inspired" to be concerned about things like worn straps and incorrect rigging after these videos than I ever do after a "proper" safety video. I think these would provide a real benefit as a part of a safety program.

      I had once a tranier come in to show us the dangers of gas installations, and showed us a fridge tech van with improper venting installed. Basically they stored a leaking LPG canister (which is also used as a refrigerating fluid), which filled up the enclosed back, and when the guy used the keyfob to unlock the doors the van blew up. There was only the cab framing and the tool drawers left in place, everything else was scattered in the parking lot. Funniest thing is that the company that prepared the vehicle used the images to show the sturdiness of their vehicle furniture, as no drawers actually flew out.

    My mom used to work for the Department of Buildings. Yes, there were occasions where inspectors filed false documents - that is indisputable. These cases fall into one of two categories: inspectors that accepted bribes to look the other way, and inspectors who were overwhelmed by their caseload.
    Unfortunately, New York City has a critical shortage of people they need the most: building / crane inspectors, and child protective services caseworkers, among them.
    In the case of this collapse, the situation raised some concerns about the inspector, but New York Crane was at fault for not following protective procedures.

    over the years i have adapted my approach to completely destroying the rigging so it's 100% unusable, and then telling them it's bad. saves you a lot of time listening to people crying about $20. sometimes they will still cry about it, and then you have a new choice to make: do i leave and put them in a bind, or do i stay, and keep them in a bind?

For want of a nail the battle was lost and all for the want of a horseshoe nail. Some $20 cheap nylon straps caused the loss of family providers and the company went under financially. Very surprised only building instructor had criminal liability. The men who used such shoddy crane collar strap work went on to other job sites.

However wear and tear (weather - sunshine and moisture) did miracles with those slings and braids - shortly lowering their strength and there were several fatalities when people relied on old slings.

    A similar accident occurred in Krasnoyarsk, Russia on March 10, 2010 where a construction crane collapsed and fell across a busy city road. The crane operator died and 5 other people were injured, 9 cars were damaged. A friend of mine happened to be on the scene. I don't recall if he witnessed the collapse or if he just happened to come by in the aftermath. He described the scene as total chaos.

      Although, speaking of the CSB, they recently completed a number of investigations, including the Foundation Food Group liquid nitrogen release. As is regrettably common with inert gas accidents, the majority of the casualties were employees attempting to rescue their colleagues.

    I used to do a bit of industrial rope access. On the first course we were warned of UV degradation and then shown a demo of test to destruction between a sling fresh from the factory and one that had been left exposed for a year. The exposed one failed way way quicker. The rule then was you inspected your own equipment every use, your senior tech called you in every 3 months for an internal check and annually a 3rd party check. At 2 years since first use or 5 years since manufacture whichever came first it was binned.

    As a ticketed rigger, as well as someone who is erected and dismantled well over a hundred of tower cranes, I have many questions about what is just watched The collars which slid down the mast, shouldn’t have been able to happen. There should’ve been a physical connection or adjustment and tightening bolts. That way you have one that you tighten, and if it fell it would quickly become wedged 10:10 And as for the Liebherr, which in my opinion are the best in the world, there’s actually physical mounting points, and the slings are used simply for alignment and installation with those are taking off immediately. As for the amount of slings, that doesn’t matter it’s the breaking strength of the sling that matters I was suspected these were probably improperly rigged as well. This is quite shocking to me is when did this take place? If there was a date I missed it just an FYI I am I am in Canada. I am our specs here we’re very much different till about 10 years ago but then, of course, corporations, got involved in our safety culture is taking a complete dive, but I’ve been retired for a few years now, and it’s been sad to see the amount of accidents that have happened just because of the lax Attitude towards safety inspection and maintenance

      @@samarnadra that is probably the most apt description you could give for what is happening, blanket fixes aimed at cost cutting, lowest common denominator planning too tricky so cut that out, inspection of every crane before and after every dismantling/erecting, again with the money, and experienced crews can’t have that they take up waaay too much of the budget that they where going to misappropriate. This is why I left. I don’t want to believe that this will become far more common and it will, for instance there was one that went over in Kelowna BC a couple years ago. I took one look at the picture and knew that the crew dismantling that crane had no clue what they were doing or any of the SOPs for that.
      A year later it turns out that there was one guy with ‘experience’ in that take down. And by experience it was his 10th one. I’ve done probably over a hundred and there is no way I would take that on with the neon green crew they had, I wouldn’t do it if there was two of me and the best two crane operators working with me. You need a trained and certified crew. Period full stop. You don’t need to be worrying about money when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of the crews working on and under them. Not to mention the danger that this represents to the public and the actual project.

      @@Cthulhuforabettertomorrow With only very minimal knowledge of the subject, even I could see some things seemed dubious, and I saw hints of the same sort of attitudes I saw at the scrapyard I worked at that caused some (thankfully very minor) incidents, one a forklift incident like a week after mandatory OSHA forklift training and certification. Thankfully no one was hurt (they just dropped a giant box of copper wire on a poorly constructed plywood "office" inside the warehouse), but the guys never worked there terribly long and they really didn't understand the point of health and safety, and the boss really was pretty laid back about it unless the issue was obvious.
      To give you an idea of how little he thought about the most rudimentary health and safety, said office had an apparently structurally necessary 2"x4" across the threshold of the doorway, with the 2" being the height above the ground. I told him the second I saw it that people cannot see a difference in level of the ground less than 3" and we would all trip over it and he should paint it a bright color if he couldn't remove it. He laughed and said we all knew it was there and would never trip on it. We all tripped on it, including him, so many times, that the next day I worked he handed me spray paint in yellow and black and asked me to paint it. That is something you see everywhere: low curbs and uneven pavement marked so people don't trip, and he didn't believe me it was an issue.
      So it is no wonder when you scale that up to things that actually matter (the office was small enough you could easily catch yourself on things before falling), that attitudes like that, plus greed lead to disaster.

    Pencil whipping inspections is disturbingly common in all kinds of regulated industries. I work for a place that makes medical device parts, so we have to follow FDA recordkeeping requirements. There are absolutely people that will check the box saying a thing got done or checked when it didn't and sometimes it gets caught down the line. You kind of have to wonder about the times it doesn't.
    I understand the pressures that can drive it. Your boss wants you to meet X quota and you don't think you can if you take the time to do the inspection properly, but that's when you need to *tell your boss that.* If you just BS the inspection, they go on thinking the rate they're expecting is reasonable and now there's pressure for other people to meet unrealistic timelines and skip inspections too. Part of that's the worker's problem but part of it's the boss if there's a workplace culture where speaking up like that leads to punishments. Don't go along with unsafe practices, speak up. If it really is a problem and the boss ignores it, leave and/or report the place if you feel it's safe to do so.

    If this is what I think it is, I know one thing that can be scratched off the Bingo Card already! Looking forward to watching it later!

    I caught a guy at work pulling on my fall limiter. He would pull it down let it go back up pull it down let it go back and when I seen him doing this I just lost it he didn't understand a word of English but he knew what the hell I was talking about. My you is just a forklift cherry picker and I only go up about 30 ft but a fall from that height can kill you quick so FYI don't touch my forklift don't touch anything on it. to be safe don't even look at it. Most of the guys just run right through their checklist they just mark it off . me I check everything everyday. I'm a firm believer in safety first. I hope the families of those people who passed away in this accident sued the hell out of the company because the only way to hurt them is through the wallet

    I have got to ck out your merch... Bingo card is cool, poster sized version, T shirt version?? Loved this one. 1/2 the slings, one rotten, slings have ON THEM HOW TO RIG, every crane .What's really chilling is that this wasn't for a change cheap GC or owner problme. It was NY Craine, who is responsible for most of them in NY. You can judge the economy by the no of cranes sitting in their yard. These things don't just cost millions, they are in short supply, very short supply, with years long lead times. Losing one means losing rev from that unit for YEARS and still having to pay what you own on it. That NY Crane couldn't provide a crew with ONE person w skill and experience needed, or that the owners had let operations decay to the point this was how their men were trained, isn't deplorable, it's insane, it's all the execs are snorting coke w every meal insane, it's we make Boeing QC look good level crazy. Wish I could remember the 'fallouto' of this legally. If crane operator personel / execs responsible for QC failure faced any penalties. Thre's a section to add to bingo card, bonus no - any real responsibility?

    I would be interested in buying your bingo card - they’d be great at safety meetings. I think a great addition would be if it were laminated or plastic, could fit in a wallet and had the reverse side with a small paragraph explaining/ expanding each term.
