I'm the guy who does all of our forklift inspections at my facility for all 60ish of our forklifts every day‡ (the bosses think it more efficient having 1 person check them all rather than everyone checking their lifts)

What the person had done after tearing the hose was clean up the forklift with paper towels and jam the hose back onto the connector by hand (saw the camera footage because I have access to those (for some reason‡‡)) which is why I missed seeing the busted line on my visual inspection

There were a series of very "fun" pre-shift meetings the following day that's for sure, and dingleberry got a 3 day suspension for not reporting the accident that tore the hose

‡ I also recently got the position because the other guy walked off due to a disagreement with manglement. This incident was the first Friday of having the position after the other guy left. They gave me fuck all for training (basically only the paperwork side on the day they left). But needless to say I've got a better checklist for those inspections now.

‡‡ I've talked with IT about it (among so many other info sec concerns) over the years and they've assured me (and my bosses) that they've revoked access. Yet it has never gone away. They're great.

Better one guy who knows what to look for than 60 guys who just shrug and check the boxes.

Straight up though the previous guy basically shrugged and ticked boxes for a hell of a long time

Literally the first week I was doing the job I had to get oil for 15 forklifts due to them being so low on oil that it didn't even touch the dip sticks

I've also pulled so much crap out of the engine bays on those things it's crazy, and a lot of it was full of cottonwood fluff so it's been in there for almost a year

So the "disagreement" with management was they wanted him to do something in exchange for his paycheck?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Funnily enough: no. They were unaware how much he was letting things go, they are aware now but they weren't aware at the time.

The disagreement was because they were changing his start time from 5am to 9:30am.

They have a good worker now... hope they don't forget that allong the line.
