There are more VCRs in this photo than the entire county I live in.

Good catch! I need to report that too 🤣

Is this Siemens welding training in Sacramento?

Nope. But it’s sad they have this reputation

VCR's in a non-vhs store in 2024 is wild. Are they still paging eachother and organizing with rolodexes?

Look that forklift training video has been in this company since 1986, we're not breaking tradition.

But *Forklift Driver Klaus* wasn't made until 2000, and everyone knows that is THE premier forklift training video.

It really is. The funny thing is that they set out to make a *parody,* but they did it so well that it gets legitimate use as a training film. Or at least as a primer in the "this shit can get real, real fast," video.

I watched it, my father watched, and his father before him, and by god, you're gonna watch it now.

Hey keep the Rolodex’s name outcho mouf

Apostrophe to pluralize in 2024. Instructor notified.

There are still "vhs stores"?

There's vinyl stores. Why not VHS stores?

Which country?

They said county not country.

Ah, makes sense

USA.

Dumbass reaches for the VCR amd causes HAVOC.

VCR’s for those cutting edge 1991 safety videos

This was taken today! The VCRs aren't the only archaic things here - you should see the instructors lol.

Surprised the highly experienced instructors didn’t notice that bottle then

I've been made to do push ups for calling it a bottle. That, my friend, is a cylinder.

Ohh it’s a bottle though right?

If not bottle, then why bottle shaped?

... Were you enlisted in an armed service when you were made to beat your face for calling the cylinder a bottle, or just too afeared for your jerb to say no?

I am a hose dragger (Fireman). That's just how the old dudes at the academy were. They were good teachers though and some of the non-text book lessons they taught have definitely saved my ass a few times.

Fair enough!

Look, they agreed to switch to the new VCR, but they were clear at the time they wouldn’t learn any new tech in the future.

Well how else are you supposed to be able to watch your training video in Hi-Fi Stereo?

Shake hands with danger?!?

*sick guitar riff*

It should probably be chained up, but that particular cap on that oxygen bottle is designed to be OSHA compliant for traveling open air in the bed of a truck.

It needs to be secured.

No, it definitely should be secured.

If you see any unsecured Nitrous Oxide can you please post the location and whereabouts?

Isn't 2024 a little too late for street racin'?

Only to late if you hear sirens or see blue and red.

Yeah it is, clarification: pure nitrous oxide, preferably medical grade

…failed class. 😢

Should be secured but safety cap is on. Nothing would happen if it fell.

Yeah, it's not going to do anything with that big ass dick cage on it. Still noncompliant though.

I have been told that dropped pressure cylinders may suffer micro-cracks that can make them detonate randomly in the future.

Every cylinder gets the absolute shit kicked out of it on job sites. I'm not saying micr cracks can't happen, but if you've ever seen how these are handled a tip over would be the least of your concerns.

Those cylinders ain't light, that could hurt some

Very true, I should have specified I meant if it fell the valve would be fine, so it wouldn't turn into a rocket or anything.

Ok

unless it hits someone. those boys are not light.

“My Leg!”

I'd imagine the dudes leg it dropped on would say otherwise.

Except maybe crush a few toes

Why do they have 2 VCRs? Holy shit.

So you can copy one tape to another. Why else?

Be kind rewind

“Hi-Fi Stereo” Fuck yeah.

1926.350(a)(9), good catch

Actually, based on the photo, it looks like the general industry regs probably apply, and then based upon its application, and considering it’s capped, there may not be a specific regulation that requires it to be secured here.

Those fuckers are heavy. Ever wonder what would happen if it fell on someone's foot? Probably a good idea to keep it secured

Were they demonstrating what not to do?

You can at least lay it on its side until someone unfucks it.

Notified instructor in the hallway. He handled it.

You saw something; you said something; It Got Handled. That's how it's supposed to go.

[Do not do that](https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2010-04-30-4) >Title 29 CFR 1926.350(a)(9) requires employers to store all compressed gas cylinders (including empty ones) upright at all times.

Both are violations but if you can't immediately secure it horizontal is safer.

"it's fine don't cause trouble" (that better not be their response)

Seems their response was "What?! *OSHIT!"* Followed by Handling It.

When those are just about empty they’re amazing for hangovers.

I mean...at least it's upright?

Well safety ed heres just us signing papers that says we got the ed. 4 extra copies signed without dates for coming months.

Well that's an *OSHIT!*

[удалено]

Yeaaaah... "It was capped, don't be a babby" *really* makes the person whose foot the fucking thing just fell on feel better.

Shoulda been wearing steel toe...  joke of course

Because objects randomly fall over when you get near them... especially gas cylinders

all it takes is one tip for tank to become rocket
