What's on the other side? It sounds important

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 85 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I used to put these on broken equipment, intensely fucking annoying job, had my boss cut one off, plug back in the unit, call me into his office to chew me out for DARING to lock out tag out a working unit, and then the fire alarm goes off. Guess what started the fire? I couldn't quit fast enough.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There's always some jackass pulling this kind of thing. I've even heard of people cutting off locks for locking out things, including a shit like breaker boxes while a guy was working on wiring. Jackass coworker pulled that, blew the guy who locked it and tagged it right off of his ladder and into the hospital. The boss suggested to the idiot that cut it off that he could either resign immediately or wait until injured coworker came back from the hospital and rehabilitation and deal with him personally. Idiot stick quit.

WHY DID HIS DUMB ASS NOT GET FIRED FOR ATTEMPTING TO ELECTROCUTE A COWORKER?!?!

Seriously, I'm more mad at the company for their policy than the dumbass who tried to fry another employee. The employee is a moron who might hurt someone, the company is negligent and is likely to get multiple employees hurt or killed with that kind of lax policy.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

What happened to the idiot? Did he stick or did he quit?

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

isnt the LOTO procedure to ask the person listed on the tag whats wrong with it before actually trying to use it. Boss ego crazy to completely just ignore the tag without understanding why it was on there in the first place.

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At my place of work, we have a switch that has been locked out for over a decade. The dude doesn't even work there anymore. Perhaps isn't alive. It isn't critical, but our LOTO trainings don't cover that possibility.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That's actually exactly how it should work. The switch isn't necessary, or someone would have called in an expert to fix it, so it hasn't been fixed and remains locked.

Oh yeah, the other side is just the info on who put the tag in, and identifying the equipment so people don't rotate the same tags to other equipment.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

" what the fuck you looking at this side for? Its Fucked mate, fucked!"

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

"the fuck you still looking at the tag for, look at the fucking equipment you cunt, obviously fucked"

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's clearly the other side of the cock, obviously.

[–] LodeMike 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think that's just "look" but written badly

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Oof, that 'doctor' handwriting...

When you gonna sign 20 things a day your style gets real poetic.

Aussie, its 100% “cock”

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Probably a drawing of a middle finger

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Usually contact info for the person who tagged it.

[–] Geobloke@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

An incredibly well detailed cock and balls. The vein work is exquisite

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Pretty sure that’s an Australian LOTO tag made by AAA printing. Which means it definitely says “cock”. Only thing that’s surprising about this on an Aussie mine site is that the word used doesn’t start with “cu..”

For additional evidence look at previous L and Cs written on the tag. Def Cs.

My guess is that someone either went to repair it and couldn’t find the issue so this additional helpful tag was added. Or similarly maybe a muppet thought it was still ok to use and again, this helpful tag was added for reinforcement.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (3 children)

nah, my bet is that's a machine that's like visibly exploded to pieces. some manager walked by and reprimanded them for not tagging the broken gear. writer of tag argued back that "it's obviously fucked, i mean look at it. have a think about it for a second". manager said it doesn't matter, protocol. tag writer writes sarcastic tag.

[–] ouRKaoS 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm imagining obvious fire damage and a chalk outline of intern Redshirt in front of the machine...

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

you know, i bet it's literally missing its primary control surface. like a tractor with the entire cab missing and some higher up was concerned someone would try to use it and hurt themselves.

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if someone did try to use it, but also don't see why anyone would think a little red tag would prevent such a person from trying anyway.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The red tag isn't to stop it, it's to document the stupidity. Now when it goes to court/WCB, there's documented proof that they tried to ensure even a moron would understand it's not safe to use

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

yeah, it's likely for insurance or regulatory reasons.

insurance will find any reason possible to deny your claim. even if that is a failure to remove the keys from the ignition after the car burst into flames.

regulators shouldn't allow slack. with any company in a regulatory situation they will to exactly as much as they're allowed to get away with. give them an inch, they take a Mile. letting hazard tags slide based on judgement creates space for corruption and abuse. following procedures to the letter with strict documentation can help curtail that.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

This sounds exactly Aussie enough to be true

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like your take way better than mine, I think that’s exactly what happened! Still reckon it’s an Aussie ;)

Cuck.

What did you just call me?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In Australia, basically “mate”

Now if I called you “mate”…

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I asked if you were from Kent?

[–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 2 months ago

As an Aussie, I can confirm that this looks like a tag an Aussie would write.

Does it really say "look" and not "cock"?

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I am quite certain that that does indeed say "cock". If those are L's then it'd LOLK at best, which I find dubious. There's no way the third letter is an O.

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

people said that the tag is australian, so definitely cock

Nah, that says LOL|C. (C for cunt.)

I once had to leave a line filled with glycol overnight, for a hydro test the next morning. I wired the drain valve shut, then shaped the extra 'wire' (it was a welding rod) into the word 'No'.

Safety was mildly annoyed, but nobody touched it

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

LOCO training is essential in the industrial workplace

[–] Incandemon@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That it damn well is. Those rules are written in blood. I'm sad to say I knew people that didn't follow the rules at place that didn't care. May they rest in peace.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Actually., the real acronym is LOTO for lockout tagout. LOCO is lockout cockout

[–] Sadrockman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I'm going to make up one of these for loto in my job. God bless the Aussies.
