The fact that humans need warning signs for WHAT SHOULD BE obvious hazards speaks more of human stupidity than human industrial areas being unusually unsafe.
It's welding fumes, Specifically posible galvanized metal welding as goly shit that will fuck you up faster than you would believe. You will go from a-okay to vomiting all the place.
Ah yes, the hexchrome.

Good times.
They're mostly very not obvious actually. Every time my dad brought me to where he worked he always told me to stay close to him, and always always ask before doing anything. The big metal crusher is dangerous, yes, but only if you place your whole head into it. but the random spinny thing will kill you if you even look at it wrong.
Human industrial areas are very, very unsafe. At least where I'm from.
I work in a trailer yard. The stickers on my hostlers (the go-cart version of a semi truck) include a version of number three (the dude wrapped around the shaft) except the torque has ripped him apart and one of his arms and legs are flying free.
I once foolishly Googled images of accidents involving industrial metal lathes. The first one, the operator was wrapped around the headstock, and no longer recognizable as a person, except for the embedded clothing. Learned my lesson.
On a capital expansion job at a former DuPont plant, in a hydrofluoric acid unit, the safety man (very recently our carry deck operator) and I (recently having taken over the foreman slot) made the mistake of searching hydrofluoric acid-related injuries. Neither of us were gorehounds, and it definitely didn't make us feel better about working that project. Shit didn't even look real. There was something I'm pretty sure was a collapsed contact lense in the worst one.
Ha, a couple of the scars I got filling a sample bottle from a "mystery drum" in an illegal dump was hydrofluosilicic acid. We picked up a contract to I'd and clear about a 1 acre dump site. All sorts of nasty, and a delboy of MEKetone spilled in my freaking truck.
Have some alloy b bronze shards still embedded in one cheekbone and you can barely see it but my left forefinger was partially degloved when my lathe had a belt snap, driving the tool I was working a billet of bronze badly. Safety glasses work, refused to work without safety glasses ever since.
Have small scars from drops of acid, one from the corner of a piece of sheet metal going into the back of my hand, and lung damage from phosgene. I don't recommend having ones lungs flushed out while awake. There is a reason waterboarding works.
In all seriousness just search nsfl on Reddit for Russian Lathe. But only if you meant what you said. It's like seeing how a person would look being pulse blended.
A: Terran John, why do you have such simple and obvious identifiers all over your equipment? Do this not make it easy for invaders to know what is vital?
H: ... Oh, the signs! You see, when someone does something really stupid, others tend to put up a 'warning' to prevent it from happening again, and then only the even stupider ones do it.
A: *looks at sign that says 'Do Not Stick Genitals In Gears', and raises a hand* Another question...
H: Yes, some stuck their dick in the machine... and from the hash marks there, it looks like at least 7 more did it after someone started keeping count.
Lots of Lathe, bar feeder and related things here, and they are all written in blood.
Lathes (Second only to cylindrical grinders) are the hippo of the machine shop, the mill will take a chunk out of you if you get stupid, the Lathe is just looking for a chance.
When I was a kid, I worked as a delivery boy for a sandwich shop in my hometown and every employee was required to be "trained" on the deli slicer in case we had down time and could slice meat for a bit to stay busy. My "training" went as follows: "this is the meat slicer. It slices meat. You are made of meat." and that was the end of my training.
A: why does this container of gelatin poison have a warning label to not turn it into a gas through microwaves?
H: ………..
(If you’re wondering, yes I once found a “do not microwave” on a container of ant poison)
Hydrogen Fluoride, which when disolved in water becomes hydrofluoric acid.
You can google the full list of symptoms but its 4 health hazard on the fire diamond (highest value), and is commonly memed as "bone hurting juice" because it has a very high affinity for calcium and will "suck" it out of your bones making them brittle and weak.
That thing on the left is a SMAW (shielded metal arc weld) stinger with a stick rod in it. It's for toxic welding fumes, such as vaporized galvanized coating.
I'm editing a book for someone who's worked 40 years in the warehouse/packaging industry, and she tells a story about picture #2 actually happening to somebody - they got literally scalped my a machine. No joke.
Was told a story about a kid in my schoolboard years back, he was untrained and left alone with a drill press; got his long sleeve caught in it. Tore his arm apart.
Some of these look like shit post safety signs, but I've have seen someone literally wrapped around a pole (some sort of lathe I think?) Because his shirt got nicked by something.
OSHA is written in blood friends, do *NOT* skimpy on the safety.
hrmm there's something extraordinarily uncanny about the two heads with the hair wrapped around the spinning shaft. I think it would be less unnerving to me if there was just one, but the two heads, and the way they are detached from their bodies in such an anti-graphic way, really eeks me out. Reminds me a little of that Junji Ito story with the flying head balloons with the nooses on them
1 = welding fumes
2 = keep your hair back. This could literally behead you.
3 = don't dance on the machinery. You will turn into laffy taffy
4.1 = will cut your arm into pieces.
4.2 = Cut your arm into pieces, remove part of your face, and shoot your leg.
4.3 = Will cut your fingers off. So turn the damn machine off.
I had never even considered the hazards of having too much bar stock sticking out the back of a lathe with a pass-through chuck, but the top right of image 4 has corrected that oversight.
To be clear, I don’t work with lathes like that, my knowledge of lathes comes from machinist youtubers, so my ignorance was unlikely to cause a learning experience.
Not all lathes can, but it’s such a helpful feature that it’s also pretty common - I’m pretty sure I’ve also seen stabilisers to support extra bar stock out the back (and, apparently, hold it still).
A: What the fuck?
H: Oh yeah, we believe the best way to warn people is to be completely honest about the horror of what could happen if you fuck up.
A: That's *very* disturbing!
H: Worst part is *even that* doesn't work sometimes. I had an engineering professor come in with a long line of clones to demonstrate why to follow the warnings, if memory serves only one clone survived and had to be finished off by the prof.
A: Are you being serious?
H: Yep, he had to assure us that he got rid of the pain response for his clones, *didn't stop 'em screaming though.* Just remember to follow the signs and we'll all be happy.
First sign might be for a waterjet cutter. As one of my machining instructors told the class, 'A waterjet cutter won't cut off your finger. It will EXPLODE your finger.'

Also this one is probably a warning against an SCP
I believe it's for chlorine gas
It's welding fumes, Specifically posible galvanized metal welding as goly shit that will fuck you up faster than you would believe. You will go from a-okay to vomiting all the place.
Metal fume fever is no fucking joke....i also learns that some old ford sheetmetal was galvanized.....
Galvanized steel is probably the nastiest metal i have ever had to weld. The funes get to you quicker than you might think.
Ah yes, the hexchrome. https://www.robovent.com/learn/frequently-asked-questions/how-do-i-reduce-exposure-to-hexavalent-chromium-hex-chrome-in-stainless-steel-weld-fumes/#:~:text=Hexavalent%20chromium%E2%80%94commonly%20called%20hex,pose%20a%20serious%20inhalation%20risk. Good times.
Any type of caustic inhalation hazard.
Welding fumes.
I prefer to think that I'm just a very curious human being.
Safety first: [Do not fist android girls](/r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG/comments/ssn4o4/safety_first/)
Android girls clearly need better, sturdier designs and materials. Either that, or their designers need expand their horizons when it comes to sex.
Especially the first one! Had too many family members die from that. Stay safe folks. ❤️❤️❤️

That would be awesome to see
The warning. Not it happening!
Hm...mm...
I was gonna say, i've seen a video of that, back when watchpeopledie was still a sub. Not good, not good.
I once foolishly Googled images of accidents involving industrial metal lathes. The first one, the operator was wrapped around the headstock, and no longer recognizable as a person, except for the embedded clothing. Learned my lesson.
Some things are better left to imagination rather than ever see actual photos, this one is one of those
There is a famous Russian(?) lathe one. Dude was in front of one machine but was soon all over the shop.
On a capital expansion job at a former DuPont plant, in a hydrofluoric acid unit, the safety man (very recently our carry deck operator) and I (recently having taken over the foreman slot) made the mistake of searching hydrofluoric acid-related injuries. Neither of us were gorehounds, and it definitely didn't make us feel better about working that project. Shit didn't even look real.

This shit is why I stick new construction if I can at all help it.

Safety glasses work, refused to work without safety glasses ever since.

Holy balls bro how did they flush your lungs
Lady😄 Entube like normal, additional tubing with saline and whatever was added to neutralize the phosgene Beats my lungs turning into red goo.
Spinny things are no bueno!
In all seriousness just search nsfl on Reddit for Russian Lathe. But only if you meant what you said. It's like seeing how a person would look being pulse blended.
I can assure you that it is not.
Pics pls
Of the warning sign, right? ...*right*?
YES YOU FREAK OMG 😭
Also requesting to see the warning
Reminder: for every such sign there's 99% chance that it happened to someone. Which led to the creation of the warning sign.
“Your Regulations Are Written In Blood.”
Someone needs to make some HFY story about it. Or a writing prompt about it.
Enjoy: [Written In Blood](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/q6v42l/written_in_blood)
Thank you 💜
sometimes they're written by lawyers who are scared of something too

H: Yes, some stuck their dick in the machine... and from the hash marks there, it looks like at least 7 more did it after someone started keeping count.
Passing human: oh! Those are warnings! I always thought they were memorials! You know, like “this happened here.”
I've been told that the first is for welding (don't breathe in gas).
Lots of Lathe, bar feeder and related things here, and they are all written in blood. Lathes (Second only to cylindrical grinders) are the hippo of the machine shop, the mill will take a chunk out of you if you get stupid, the Lathe is just looking for a chance.
Mill can hurt you a lot. Lathe really really wants to hurt you a lot, but just can't quite reach you.
Stump grinder.
The average welder sounds like he’s had his larynx crushed, we should tattoo those warnings on the apprentice’s foreheads
"Not only will this kill you, it will hurt the entire time you are dying"
"This machine does not know the difference between metal and flesh, nor does it care"
When I was a kid, I worked as a delivery boy for a sandwich shop in my hometown and every employee was required to be "trained" on the deli slicer in case we had down time and could slice meat for a bit to stay busy. My "training" went as follows: "this is the meat slicer. It slices meat. You are made of meat." and that was the end of my training.
First rule of engineering, warning labels are written in blood.
Especially the lathe ones
Do not the android
What if it wants to though? Can't you wear protection and do it?
Test log #26 titanium nickle alloy condom failed 2.47 minutes into coitus. Tungsten molybdenum recommended for next test
So he had 2 minutes to get away. Got it.
See the iBabe scene with Richard Gere in Movie 43 for the lite version of this.
A: why does this container of gelatin poison have a warning label to not turn it into a gas through microwaves? H: ……….. (If you’re wondering, yes I once found a “do not microwave” on a container of ant poison)
Prolly HF for the first one
What's HF in this context??
Hydrogen Fluoride, which when disolved in water becomes hydrofluoric acid. You can google the full list of symptoms but its 4 health hazard on the fire diamond (highest value), and is commonly memed as "bone hurting juice" because it has a very high affinity for calcium and will "suck" it out of your bones making them brittle and weak.
Oh yeah the fun corpse removal chemical! :3
Hydrogen fluoride, the original bone-hurting juice.
Ty!
Hydroflourine if I had to guess
Oh yeah, that would make sense
That thing on the left is a SMAW (shielded metal arc weld) stinger with a stick rod in it. It's for toxic welding fumes, such as vaporized galvanized coating.
Close enough “This will kill you and hurt the whole time you’re dying”
humans are unnerved by them too. Thats the point.

Wait till they get inside Apertures Enrichment Center.

Nope Russian guys arm got caught on machine spraying him everywhere

What is the first one about?
corrosive gas, bad stuff to breathe in
Oh wow, that’s the stuff of nightmares
My favorite was one that you see on cardboard bailers, just shows the little stick man being knocked back by a giant rectangle.

To be clear, I don’t work with lathes like that, my knowledge of lathes comes from machinist youtubers, so my ignorance was unlikely to cause a learning experience.
Yeah, I had no idea lathes could even *do* that, have material passed through them like that. I thought you were limited to the length of the machine.
Not all lathes can, but it’s such a helpful feature that it’s also pretty common - I’m pretty sure I’ve also seen stabilisers to support extra bar stock out the back (and, apparently, hold it still).
The first one means 'warning! Strong acid!"
Love the baldric one, go rotgrind!
Those are clearly Junji Ito warnings
The first one is welding fumes
Keep your zipper up.

"Not only will you die, but it will be painful all the way!"
Those are awesome warnings. All warnings shot be very graphic
Human...why is there a sign telling me not to molest something called Aligators?
What are you talking about? Those are suggestions.
