#Safety Precautions

[nyxx01]

A question about protest safety

I heard people shouldn’t wear contact lenses to protests because pepper spray and tear gas. So it’s better to wear glasses, but won’t you damage and injure your face far easier? And some people are practically blind without their glasses what if they lose them?

[random-bookquotes]

That’s not how this works. Keeping adults with you is more like… wearing a seatbelt. Most of the time, you’d be fine riding in a car without a seatbelt, but if we got in a car accident, you might just die without one. And you don’t know when you’re going to get in a car accident, so you need to wear one all the time.

Such a sad, sad world we live in where information like this needs to be mass distributed for women to protect themselves from these predators posing as men.

And the fact that there was a whole ass group of serial rapists and date rapists available to get this info from is just crazy. Human beings can be so fucking sick. People, please REBLOG THIS. You know, I know, we might just save a life if we do.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

The Critical Role of Instrument Earthing in Industrial Safety and Accuracy

In the complex world of industrial instrumentation and control systems, one crucial aspect often overlooked is instrument earthing. This fundamental practice not only ensures the safety of personnel and equipment but also plays a vital role in maintaining the accuracy and reliability of measurements. Let's delve into why instrument earthing is so important and how it impacts various industrial processes.

What is Instrument Earthing?

Instrument earthing, also known as instrument grounding, is the practice of connecting the metallic parts of instruments and their associated circuitry to the earth. This connection provides a low-impedance path for fault currents and helps to maintain a stable reference potential for measurements.

Safety First: Protecting Lives and Equipment

The primary purpose of instrument earthing is safety. By providing a path for fault currents to flow into the ground, earthing helps prevent electric shocks that could harm operators or maintenance personnel. In the event of a short circuit or insulation failure, the earthing system directs the dangerous current away from people and sensitive equipment, potentially saving lives and preventing costly damage.

Ensuring Measurement Accuracy

Beyond safety, proper earthing is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of instrument readings. In industrial environments filled with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), unearthed instruments can pick up noise that distorts measurements. A well-designed earthing system acts as a shield, diverting these unwanted signals and ensuring that only the intended process variables are measured.

Mitigating the Effects of Static Electricity

Many industrial processes, especially those involving the movement of fluids or powders, can generate static electricity. Without proper earthing, this static charge can build up, leading to sparks that may ignite flammable materials or cause erroneous readings in sensitive electronic instruments. Effective earthing dissipates static charges safely, maintaining a stable operating environment.

Implementing Effective Instrument Earthing

To reap the full benefits of instrument earthing, consider these key points:

Dedicated Earth: Use a separate instrument earth, distinct from the power system earth, to avoid interference from power-related disturbances.

Low Impedance: Ensure the earth path has low impedance to effectively conduct fault currents and unwanted signals.

Regular Maintenance: Periodically inspect and test earthing connections to maintain their effectiveness over time.

Proper Bonding: Bond all instrument cases, cable shields, and junction boxes to the instrument earth to create a unified reference potential.

Avoid Ground Loops: Carefully plan earthing connections to prevent ground loops that can introduce noise into measurements.

Conclusion

Instrument earthing is not just a regulatory requirement—it's a critical practice that underpins the safety, accuracy, and reliability of industrial instrumentation systems. By implementing and maintaining proper earthing techniques, industries can protect their workforce, safeguard valuable equipment, and ensure the integrity of their process measurements. In an era where data-driven decision-making is paramount, the role of instrument earthing in providing accurate, noise-free measurements cannot be overstated.

Remember, a well-grounded instrument system is the foundation of a safe, efficient, and precise industrial operation. Don't let this crucial aspect of your instrumentation infrastructure fall by the wayside—give instrument earthing the attention it deserves and learn more about instrument earthing iec standard.

[cherryblossomshadow]

The importance of regulation. So many technologies or practices that are grandfathered in we take for granted as ‘of course’, but those standards were all written in blood and horrors. (comment courtesy of @grlizzybear) #deregulation - the true evil here is when companies can always do what they want XD #very good add izzy! #I think about companies currently doing horrors - or trying to undo regulations to bring the horrors back (e.g. EPA regulation) (tags courtesy of @detectivefable)

.

Not to mention: see that horse in the comic? The DC (as opposed to AC) power grid Edison had implemented routinely electrocuted both people and horses up through the underground tunnels that housed some of the lines. It also required massive amounts of substations, hence the huge amount of lines everywhere. (comment courtesy of @cloacatak)

.

#those were also largely DC lines #Unless you are in the 10s of kv range DC has massive transmission loss #they needed that many lines just to supply power to one apartment building #also with the transmission loss being so absurd they needed power generation every couple blocks #there is a reason AC power won and its largely due to all of DCs nonsense like this (tags courtesy of @thatstrangeowl)

.

love how you people are falling for 1890s anti-Tesla anti-AC propaganda this is insane. Any country with a tendency to have earthquakes have above ground power lines btw. Yes, there were deaths. Not many at all. They very quickly made things safer once a few deaths occurred. No, it did not happen that often. When it did, it was people who were messing directly with the power lines. The poster was not made out of fear of electricity or even power lines in general, but of Westinghouse's usage of alternating current power lines. This took place during the switch over from gas to electric. Out of 79 deaths in 1901 to 1902, 14 were caused by electricity (regardless of if AC or DC currents being used) This was a war between Edison and Tesla (ultimately). You had the more expensive, less effective, rather stupid Edison current option: DC, which needed one power plant for every 400 people. It also works within only a handful of kilometres. Or, you had the far, far cheaper, more effective and more useful Tesla current option: AC. Edison had paid tons for the patent on the DC structure and refused Tesla's proposal to switch to AC when he offered. Tesla's ideas were bought up by Westinghouse and golly jee was Edison furious. Knowing his method would lose to Tesla's, he started a massive smear campaign to get people afraid of the AC power lines. The media immediately followed suit, because the media has always been ridiculous. What this poster is opposed to was NOT power lines, but the usage of Tesla's higher voltage AC. Brown (a massive anti-AC) and Edison "proved" AC was "more dangerous than DC by paying kids to kidnap dogs which they then tortured and electrocuted to death in front of live audiences using AC current. Not a joke. Those who died also were very much messing with the wires, they didn't actually have a tendency to snap. (comment courtesy of @fuck-no-bullshit)

.

These people were also living in wooden houses without running water, maybe they were concerned about, y'know, fire? One of the biggest dangers in cities at that time? (comment courtesy of @domina-honoribila) .

5g requires more power. the extra power is predicted to increase my country's energy consumption by 5% by itself. (comment courtesy of @celesteateyourrights)

.

#its important to note that there are still many places in the world where this kind of infrastructure is common #and people just live with it #irl stuff (tags courtesy of @notquiteapex)

.

#also…y'all know why they don't teach this in history books. #it's the same reason we don't learn about the luddite rebellion in depth (tags courtesy of @novemberstarling)

.

I can't speak for other countries, or states really but I was raised in the deep south. History was presented to me in the most simplified manner possible. Propaganda, not fact. Stories meant to make you feel good, not ones that let you understand the world. Around Nixon's regime the conservatives got afraid because well educated kids were becoming well educated voters who, unsurprisingly, would vote for things like social welfare or higher wages. So they decided to sabotage information. So you're not going to see the horrifying knot tangle of electric wires that early electric companies made because then you have to talk about how much people hated it and how they got laws made that made electricity safe to use. They'll have to talk about how Thomas Edison was a bastard and probably didn't invent a single thing in his entire life. They'll talk about the suffragette movement in precise terms or how suicide rates dropped by half when No Fault Divorce became the norm in the 1970s. Our ancestors fought long and hard for public education and people who want kids stupid and pliable are sabotaging it. (comment courtesy of @feline-flights-of-fancy)
