Glenn Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We should keep the dangers of closed containers on the hazards list. I was about to take home a 55 gallon drum clearly marked motor oil and noticed a slight expansion or roundness in the lid. I opened the bung hole and was met with air rushing out to release the pressure and the distinct smell of gasoline . I ask the shop foreman about it and he said, oh that one, we used it to transport racing fuel to the track last weekend. We MUST push safety and tell others about the hazards they may encounter.

ianinsa Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Welding on any sealed container is just stupid, I know it's not pc to call someone stupid, but ''stupid is as stupid does'' it's sad that someone lost their life but in this every kid gets a prize world who's genuinely surprised ? Well you only need to weld on this airtank/ fire extinguisher once, well what's the worst that can happen????? DUH!!!! Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Good point, but could they have possibly have found a more dead and boring voice actor for this video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
