Arthur Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Remember that PPE is the last protection issue. Before that come the knowledge and understanding of the process and the risks and hazards, and an understanding of the mitigation of the risks and hazards After reducing the hazards and reducing the probability of those hazards, and reducing the severity of potential damage, after all that you can wisely chose PPE to suit the remaining hazard. Note that a HiVis jacket isn't bullet proof -you have to suit the PPE to the hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LambentPyro Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Water can be used as an oxidizer in metallic fires. So if a fire occurs, make sure you know what's burning. Throwing water on any fire (esp. electrical fires) can make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Throwing water on SOME fires can make it worse. Throwing water on MOST fires puts it out. Be careful not to spread the fire around. In general, avoid water for fires involving grease, flammable metals like magnesium and electricity. A dry chemical ABC extinguisher is good to have around.

So if electricity is a flammable metal, how can I add that to some star comp? I'm ready to make some real electric streamers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) http://melbourneer.com/2014/07/20/the-shatner-comma/ Would the oxford comma make more sense than a standard comma? Edited July 26, 2014 by nater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, think, it might. Haha Edited July 27, 2014 by psyco_1322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
