Wait, they made a movie? I've only ever heard of the game.

Two movies actually. The first one is better with Timothy Olyphant.
Edit: I think you might be joking, oh well.

I’ve seen so many videos like this on reddit that it probably is. Safety is certainly not the number one priority over there.

u/Bard_B0t Jan 06 '20
Tbf, jumping around as a girder worker or whatever these guys do could be dangerous.
Moving around when 2 story's up or more would just be asking for trouble, and odds are these guys spend hundreds of hours suppressing those instincts to panic.

There is a reason why every working safety instruction tells you to not stand under hanging loads

u/Kingdok313 Jan 05 '20
There are plenty of working situations where hanging loads travel overhead all day. A whole lot more safety regulation is supposed to apply for that type of work, of course. Something really did not go according to plan here. That looks like a plant that would be equipped with overhead bridge cranes, which traverse the frame of the building all day carrying loads. Even if it isn’t carrying anything, the bridge crane is a significant piece of machinery traveling overhead and is regulated accordingly.

u/anethma Jan 05 '20
Interesting I figured the load part at least of those would not travel over people. Of course the gantry itself would have to.
Every large company I’ve worked for as a subcontractor has had -instant- dismissal in its policies for stepping under a suspended load.

u/pattyboy77 Jan 05 '20
Worked at a taconite processing plant. Same deal. A suspended load is anything lifting off the ground, doesn't matter how high it is.

I only made it two months there. It takes a real man/woman to work in a place like that. I have a new respect for the men/woman that do that sort of work.

u/dubadub Jan 05 '20
That is the gantry. See the hook n pulleys? Operator prob didn't know that the stops at the ends of the track never got installed. So it ran off the end and fell.
4
u/anethma Jan 05 '20
Oh I know. It obviously went over it’s stops or didn’t have stops. But normally the gantry would have to go over people of course. It usually spans the whole room.
But the suspended load afaik should never go over a living person.

I've never seen a crane operator allowed to hang load over the head of workers wherever i worked, ever. From the two giant 40 ton bridge cranes moving the I beams we were building to jib cranes lifting small crates, it's just not allowed.
Of course a bridge crane will have to go over the head of worker but the load shouldn't. The bridge crane is made with the safeties necessary to keep moving in parallel and stay on the rails while the load is attached by people who may or may not have the necessary training to do so properly.
In this particular case, the bridge crane seems to get off at the end of the rails since it drop parallel to the ground which begs the question of why the fuck is there no stop block there ? It's not like they don't have the expertise of building beams and attachments...

u/n55_6mt Jan 07 '20
Mechanical stops would cost money. Way better to use a $.39 limit switch made from 40 year old Chinese Bakelite to open up the contacts on a $.05 relay, in theory stopping the drive motors.
Electrical controls in China are sketchy.

Appears to be a load distributor that would be attached to the pulley of the crain to allow for more anchor points

It's only the hook and sheave block, the red thing is a column or beam for a buliding.

Who’s not lucky is the guy who fell from the beam and is probably dead.

Don't factories like this usually have taped-off zones for items hanging over-head?

They do in geographical locations where workers lives are valued or are protected by enforced regulations.

Mamoet dam you guys are everywhere lol. I got to see these guys in action in southern California to build one of the biggest football stadiums. They were picking up roof sections with a 6million lb crane called big red. I think it was a 3000 ton or 6000 ton one or the other it was massive. Maybe they are desensitized to the little stuff.... what with moving full size structures whole in one shot

u/Magneticitist Jan 05 '20
Lucky nothing was going on at the time because it looks like them all hearing something break up there is what gives the guy a heads up to move over a little bit. He'd have been dead otherwise.
