You should see how fast the mechanics and PE departament try to fix a boxline derailment.

Is it?

Don't know.

Is it?

That ought to be a real demonstration of safe work practices.

I have seen some of the methods employed doing this in the past.

Scary.

Just get the fat girl at the end of the belt to lift it back onto the track

No time to act like a yawning cat?

There was no girl present when I observed it.

It was a while ago but I know this was not the method that was employed.

Too bad

It works

Probably work as well as what I remember seeing them do.

Sometimes industrial work is just unsafe.

Building maintenance mechanics use this method all the time for working under the tram tugs and tram carts. I would guess it must be an acceptable practice.

I see the same, and for some of the work they need to do I don't see any other way for them to do it. The PIT in my facility would not have the clearance to do anything from underneath if you have to rely on only jack stands.

Not sure what you are referring to.

Sorry.

Exactly.

You have a pit? How would a tram tug even fit on one? Plus who wants to work in the dark? Maintenance mechs usually take them outside in the summer where the temps are cooler.

lol, PIT as in Powered Industrial Truck. We call them mules in my building personally. We do have an area used for storage and access to belts from the sort isle we call the pit too, well lit so no working in the dark there.

Not at UPS ... just people using poor judgment.

bumper cars with PIT's when things are slow is acceptable, but l learned the hard way to be sure yours is fully charged before entering the arena.

There are inherent risks and hazards in doing industrial work.

That doesn't mean industrial work is just unsafe.

The industrial vehicle maker might have specific instructions as to how to lift it.

A vehicle lift for the machine is probably the answer.

How does this relate to the OP?

I have observed people using poor judgement as well.
