Safety Topic Of The Day: Handling Flammable Gases & Oxygen Tanks

Photo Credit: Construction Tales Safety Topic 15-Part C Hello Everyone! After a few month hiatus, I am sharing three new posts on this blog today. I'm trying to make up for lost time. :) I had some extra time today so I was able to come in and share with you some new blog content. How are you doing on this Monday evening?? As I had previously, yes- like a broken record, I found out that Anchor.fm is no longer electronically converting this written blog to an audio MP3 form automatically. Moving forward, I am actively sharing my Construction Tales Safety Topic YouTube videos on my main Spotify channel. Therefore, my brand-new Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes are my YouTube safety topics. Before I share my latest "Construction Tales Safety Topic" content, allow me to share some updates on my other projects. My established "$ugar Momma Baddie" themed clothing and accessory collection is available on both Spring and Shopify ecommerce platforms. Check out the two designs that you can choose from: 1) Feisty Lady Trio 2) Sugar Momma Bed. The "$ugar Momma Baddie" Shopify and Spring store links are down below in this Quora blog post. The links for the paperback, e-book, and now audio version for my first children's book that's entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" are also down below in this blog post. Both my first children's book and my #ConstructionTales book are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and Audible. The audio versions of both of my books can be found in four Audible markets that include: France, Dutch, U.K., and the United States. Now that I've wrapped up my "Leslie's book and podcast ad", let's check out the written version of the latest Construction Tales Safety Topic that is known as video #15, Part C on my MP3 and MP4 formats: In my previous two videos, I introduced you to both the topic of hot work and rules on fuel powered portable heaters. In this video, allow me to introduce you to the rules that pertain to handling and using oxygen, acetylene, and other flammable gases when performing hot work on a typical construction jobsite. I am referencing Chapter 14 Fire Protection Systems that comes from the 2014 New York City Fire Code for this video. The handling of oxygen for hot work are being governed from FC 26 and 30, as applicable. The sections that give guidance for handling, storage, and use for liquid oxygen can be found under FC 1406.2.1.1 through FC 1406.2.1.9. Rules on managing flammable gases fall under FC 26, 35, and 38. The handling of these different types of flammable gases must be qualified by holding a current Certificate Of Fitness. Prior to doing any hot work, the appropriate permits must be filed and on hand onsite for review during periodic jobsite inspections as per FC105.6. Additionally, a sketch shall be submitted to the department for approval along with a permit for oxygen storage. The sketch should contain the following information: 1) number and size of containers 2) enclosure, manifold, and service piping construction 3) location of risers and outlets 4) location of all equipment that include vaporizers, valves, or safety relief devices. Signage must be posted near the oxygen storage area that uses the following language: “DANGER-LIQUID OXYGEN-NO SMOKING-NO OPEN FLAMES”. Additionally, legible operating instructions must be posted near the liquid oxygen manifold. One of the first things that you should know is that oxygen tanks are very dangerous and great care must be taken when transporting them. You are not allowed to store more than one tank, that is 6.2 cubic feet in size, of oxygen indoors. Any other oxygen containers must be stored outdoors. If you see more than one oxygen tank in your indoor work area, report this issue to the site safety manager immediately. The oxygen trailers must possess license plates through the Department of Motor Vehicles. Oxygen trailer containers shall be designed, constructed, and tested as per the rules that come from the United States Department of Transportation. The owner and operator of oxygen trailers must notify the department, in writing, at least 48 hours prior to the delivery of the oxygen containers to the construction site. The written data must include the following: 1) contractor’s name, address, and phone number 2) the location of the construction site 3) quantity and frequency of oxygen deliveries to the jobsite 4) expected duration of oxygen cylinders on the construction site. Of course, all the gas related equipment pertaining to hot work must undergo testing in order to be safe for workers and bystanders on the average jobsite. Vaporizers and manifolds must be pressure tested to 250 psig. The minimum bursting pressure must be rated at 1,000 psig. The safety relief shall relieve at or below 500 psig. Once they are assembled, they are then pressure tested to 500 psig while using a noncombustible material that is known as a testing medium. Any connection between the service piping and manifold cannot be more than five feet in length. The service hose tubing from the oxygen manifold must be made of: 1) copper 2) stainless steel 3) wrought iron or steel. The service piping must be labeled and secure. Once the equipment has been assembled and tested, it is required for the contractor to offer an affidavit that all parts are approved and tested and safe for use in the field. Once everything has been assembled and tested along with the space being free of hazards, it is time to get into the hot work. Once the hot work has ended, the oxygen and acetylene must be removed from the work space and placed into the designated storage areas. The exception to the rule is longer than two hours- such as work and lunch break. The storage area must be on an unoccupied area that sits within approved compressed gas storage containers and safely secured to prevent unauthorized entry. If outdoor storage is not available, acetylene storage can be permitted on the ground floor in an unoccupied building. The ground floor storage area cannot exceed 3,500 SCF. The outdoor storage locations can be multiple as long as the distance between the locations comply with FC Chapter 35 guidelines. When it is required for a site safety manager or site coordinator to be on the construction project, a fire safety manager must also be onsite for hot work operations. The site safety manager or site coordinator may also serve as a fire safety manager if they also possess the construction site fire safety manager certificate of fitness. For larger projects higher than 250 feet (+20 stories) and a footprint that is 200,000 square feet, the fire safety manager must be designated solely for that role. I will dive deeper into those credentials and how to acquire them in future videos. Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on offering you rules and basic safety tips that pertain to handling oxygen tanks and acetylene on the average construction project. Accidents can happen on typical construction jobsites here in New York City. The objective is to learn some important safety tips and try to avoid any mishaps in the future. Stay tuned for future videos where I offer even more different types of safety tips. I know I must go back to writing blog topics, recording & editing audio, and lining up the MP3 with my MP4 content in order to create more videos. As soon as I have something brand-new to offer, I will be sure to share alot sooner.

This is short story #11 entitled, "Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools". This short story covers my life as a widowed, single mother in the era when I juggled both motherhood and my career as a journeywoman electrician. I share the various challenges I faced and lessons learned along the way. The previous short story is entitled: #10: "Early Life Lessons & Characters To Meet As An Apprentice". I decided to write about some life lessons such as guarding your personal information, managing nasty rumors, combating sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism. Overall, the construction culture has improved dramatically over the past 25-years. Developing both a thick skin and a sharp tongue are key tools needed to survive various jobsite antics. I hope you learn something from this short story. There are more to come. These short stories are now also available as Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes.

Safety Topic Of The Day: Part A: A Brief Introduction To Hot Work

Hello Everyone! I have been very busy lately and I have not been on this blog. I apologize for the huge delay due to my personal and work loads. I have some extra time recently so I'm able to come in and share with you some new blog content. How are you doing on this Monday that kicks off the work week?? On my project, I'm forced to celebrate the Jewish New Year today- therefore I'm enjoying a three-day weekend this weekend. As I had previously shared before like a broken record, I found out that Anchor.fm is no longer electronically converting this written blog to an audio MP3 form automatically. Moving forward, I am actively sharing my Construction Tales Safety Topic YouTube videos on my main Spotify channel. Therefore, my brand-new Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes are my YouTube safety topics. Before I share my latest "Construction Tales Safety Topic" content, allow me to share some updates on my other projects. My established "$ugar Momma Baddie" themed clothing and accessory collection is available on both Spring and Shopify ecommerce platforms. Check out the two designs that you can choose from: 1) Feisty Lady Trio 2) Sugar Momma Bed. The "$ugar Momma Baddie" Shopify and Spring store links are down below in this Quora blog post. The links for the paperback, e-book, and now audio version for my first children's book that's entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" are also down below in this blog post. Both my first children's book and my #ConstructionTales book are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and Audible. The audio versions of both of my books can be found in four Audible markets that include: France, Dutch, U.K., and the United States. Now that I've wrapped up my "Leslie's book and podcast ad", let's check out the written version of the latest Construction Tales Safety Topic that is known as video #15, Part A on my MP3 and MP4 formats: In this video, I am going to review with you some basic safety tips that pertain to the subject of hot work. What is hot work? Hot work means work involving electric or gas welding, cutting, brazing, or similar flame or spark-producing operations. Even if you are not doing hot work yourself, you still need to be familiar with some basic safety tips when the work happens within your work area. What are some duties that qualified workers must perform either before or during hot work? Here are some items to look out for: 1) {29 CFR §1910.252(a)}- The hot work permit shall document that fire prevention protection requirements have been implemented prior to the beginning of any hot work operations 2) Facilities that perform hot work operations are conducted on or near a covered process shall issue a hot work permit 3) This hot work permit must be kept on file until hot work operations are fully completed 4) The hot work permit must indicate the date(s) of authorization for hot work and identify the object on which hot work is to be performed 5) Sweep the floor of all debris 6) Invest in heat-resistant clothing and wear it each time you start work 7) Make sure all electrical outlets are closed and secure 8) Put fire-resistant mats on the floor to prevent sparks from catching fire 9) Don’t forget to check your goggles and/or face shield for cracks 10) Look for holes and tears in work gloves before turning on any tools 11) Check the ventilation in your work area. If it’s sufficient, use a respirator or face mask to protect yourself from combustible gases 12) Clear your work area of all flammable substances and materials 13) Use proper cable management to secure your tools 14) Keep aisles clear of loose tools, cords, and other potential trip hazards 15) Do a hazard assessment of the workspace before configuring it for hot work activities 16) When working on a busy jobsite, block off your workspace from heavy foot traffic (if possible) 17) Inspect tools, putting emphasis on the condition of cables and wires. If electrical components are exposed, don’t use the equipment 18) Ensure that you have a fire extinguisher or accessible water source nearby 19) Provide the fire watcher with suppressant tools in case of an emergency What are some duties that must be done once the hot work is completed? 1) At the end of every workday, put all combustibles like fuel gas and oxygen tanks in a designated storage area 2) Calibrate your gas detectors frequently to ensure they’re in working order 3) Assign someone to ensure that all fire hazards are controlled, and heat sources are closed off 4) Store tools in a safe place, making sure to keep them away from hazardous energy sources 5) Double check any ducts that you closed during the hot work process and ensure that they don’t need additional maintenance or repair FDNY Hot Work Permit Facts: • A hot work permit is required when using oxygen and a flammable gas, such as acetylene or propane • Permit Cost: $105 • Permit Duration: 1 Year A hot worker must possess a Certificate of Fitness: • 1) G60- Torch Use of Flammable Gases for Hot Work Operations • 2) F60- Fire Guard for Torch Operations Don’t worry. We will cover this (above) in future videos. Now, if you want to get a head start on following the rules, review the following FDNY Chapters on Hot Work: • Chapter 14 • Chapter 26 For more hot work information, check out the website link: • https://www.nyc.gov/site/fdny/business/all-certifications/per-hotworksoperations.page Types Of FDNY Hot Work Permits: • 1) Site-Specific Permits • 2) City-Wide Permits Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on introducing you to hot work and some basic hot work tips needed when working on the average construction project. Accidents can happen on typical construction jobsites here in New York City. The objective is to learn some important safety tips and try to avoid any mishaps in the future. Stay tuned for future videos where I offer even more different types of safety tips. Here is the MP4 visual version of this safety topic on my Verbally Disastrous YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/cxD8ky0OfqQ Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on sharing with you this introduction to hot work. In my previous videos, I had shared with you an example of an accident and the remedy that was crafted in order to lift the partial stop work order. The objective is to share information to help either educate you or help you to not have this experience on your project if you also work in New York City or in construction in general. Stay tuned for the next video where I offer information of fuel-powered portable heaters. I have released this YouTube and podcast video. Therefore, this will be your next written blog topic. In the future, I also want to do question and answers for safety study material since that is a niche that is not plentiful on YouTube.

Check out the two designs that you can choose from: 1) Feisty Lady Trio 2) Sugar Momma Bed. The "$ugar Momma Baddie" Shopify and Spring store links are down below in this Quora blog post. The links for the paperback, e-book, and now audio version for my first children's book that's entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" are also down below in this blog post. Both my first children's book and my #ConstructionTales book are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and Audible. The audio versions of both of my books can be found in four Audible markets that include: France, Dutch, U.K., and the United States. Now that I've wrapped up my "Leslie's book and podcast ad", let's check out the written version of the latest Construction Tales Safety Topic that is known as video #15, Part B on my MP3 and MP4 formats: In my previous video, I covered the meaning of hot work and introduced you to some basic safety tips while both preparing and performing hot work. Even people who are working in close proximity to hot work should be aware of the safety protocols. In this video, I want to do an overview with you on the rules of using portable fueled heaters on construction jobsites. I am referencing Chapter 14 Fire Protection Systems that comes from the 2014 New York City Fire Code. To start out, let us review the entire overall scope of work that is defined within the NYC fire code for Chapter #14: “This chapter shall govern the design, installation, operation and maintenance, including inspection and testing, of fire protection devices, equipment and systems, and other fire protection measures for the control and extinguishment of fire.” For this video, let us dive into some basic safety tips for using portable fuel-powered heaters while in construction. These heaters are covered under the FC 1403 section within Chapter #14 of the 2014 New York City Fire Code. There are strict rules as to the storage and handling of portable fueled heating devices on the jobsite. Portable fueled space heaters must be labeled, listed, and designed as per construction codes. In addition to NYC Fire Code, the laws that govern also include Mechanical Code and Fuel Gas Code. As applicable, the current fire commissioner also has the authority to implement additional rules that supersede the current fire code. People who handle these portable fuel-powered heaters must possess a Certificate of Fitness. Portable oil-fueled heaters can be stored, handled, and used on construction sites for curing and drying purposes. These oil-fueled heaters can be used during the heating season that runs from October 15th to May 30th at the end of the season. Portable gas-fueled heaters can either utilize liquified petroleum gas or compressed natural gas. These gas-fueled heaters are also allowed for curing process and during the same time frame as oil-fueled heaters. Refueling these heaters shall be allowed as per FC 3405 only after being shut off and allowed to cool down. Smoking is prohibited on construction sites here in New York City. Despite this fact, signage must be posted. Signage that’s regulated, as per FC 310, in the following areas: 1) on the swinging door of a fence or any kind of gate openings to a jobsite 2) at entrances to any building or structure that is under construction or demolition 3) on each floor at a stairway, elevator, and hoist way access point 4) at any outdoor or indoor areas on a construction site where people congregate together. Except for coke-fueled salamanders, it is unlawful to ignite or maintain an open fire. When using portable fueled heaters, proper housekeeping and ventilation is a requirement. The storage of flammable liquids for portable fueled heaters must comply with FC 3406.2. Class I and II liquids shall be locked up in approved safety containers. Prior to putting the portable heater into service, it is important to secure the heater. The objective of securing the portable heater is so that it does not accidentally become overturned and damaged in the process of being in service. The heating element must also be covered in order to protect workers from accidentally touching or material making contact and catching on fire. The use of a portable fueled-heater must be under supervision while it is in service. As stated previously, the person in charge of watching the heater while in service must be qualified to safeguard and check for hazards, via a Certificate of Fitness. Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on offering you to safety tips that pertain to portable fuel-powered heaters that are used on the average construction project. Accidents can happen on typical construction jobsites here in New York City. The objective is to learn some important safety tips and try to avoid any mishaps in the future. Stay tuned for future videos where I offer even more different types of safety tips. Here is the MP4 visual version of this safety topic on my Verbally Disastrous YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/nPu3criFzck Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on sharing with you this introduction to fuel-powered temporary heaters. In my previous videos, I had shared with you an introduction to hot work that happens on construction sites. The objective is to share information to help either educate you or help you to become even more knowledgeable at work in New York City or in construction in general. Stay tuned for the next video where I offer information of handling flammable gases, including oxygen tanks, while on a construction jobsite. I have released this YouTube and podcast video. Therefore, this will be your next written blog topic. In the future, I also want to do question and answers for safety study material since that is a niche that is not plentiful on YouTube. Now that I have wrapped up this latest blog topic, I'm now sharing the links to the podcast platforms and YouTube channel: The Verbally Disastrous Podcast & Construction Tales Safety Topic audio content links on Spotify, Spotify For Podcasters, and even MP4 YouTube links: The Verbally Disastrous Podcast On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/52xBe1cGlvu3YCCicEOfCj The Verbally Disastrous Podcast On Spotify For Podcasters: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vd-leslie-m-jasper The Verbally Disastrous Podcast On Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/verbally-disastrous-podcast-leslie-m-jasper-melissa/id1560907872 The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81NGI3NjY5Yy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Radio Public: https://radiopublic.com/the-verbally-disastrous-podcast-w-Wd9eeX The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ememoels The Verbally Disastrous YouTube Channel On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE8tVs9kmwoS9turm4zzv-g I would greatly appreciate it you helped me out by subscribing to my Verbally Disastrous YouTube channel.

Safety Topic Of The Day: The Beta Max Leo LLC Electric Hoist Accident Details & Remedy

The Verbally Disastrous Podcast- On Spotify:

Hello Everyone! Well, it's time to dive back right into another productive work week. On my project, I celebrated Juneteenth and enjoyed a three-day weekend this past weekend. As I had previously shared multiple times, I found out that Anchor.fm is no longer electronically converting this written blog to an audio MP3 form automatically. Therefore, I still have to figure out an alternate way to accomplish restoring this audio blog goal- in a cost effective manner. Additionally, I've noticed that the blog's many podcast platforms, that was previously available, was removed for some reason. Therefore, I will carve out time and add my podcast platform again onto those same platforms again in the future. I'm extremely frustrated about having to do tasks more than once. Moving forward, I am actively sharing my Construction Tales Safety Topic YouTube videos on my main Spotify channel. Therefore, my brand-new Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes are my YouTube safety topics. Before I share my latest "Construction Tales Safety Topic" content, allow me to share some updates on my other projects. My established "$ugar Momma Baddie" themed clothing and accessory collection is available on both Spring and Shopify ecommerce platforms. Check out the two designs that you can choose from: 1) Feisty Lady Trio 2) Sugar Momma Bed. The "$ugar Momma Baddie" Shopify and Spring store links are down below in this Quora blog post. The links for the paperback, e-book, and now audio version for my first children's book that's entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" are also down below in this blog post. Both my first children's book and my #ConstructionTales book are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and Audible. The audio versions of both of my books can be found in four Audible markets that include: France, Dutch, U.K., and the United States. Now that I've wrapped up my "Leslie's book and podcast ad", let's check out the written version of the latest Construction Tales Safety Topic that is known as video #14, Part C on my MP3 and MP4 formats: In my last two videos, I covered what exactly is an electric hoist along with the type of concrete buckets that are used during concrete pour operations. I also shared the required safety pre-check and operational procedures used during concrete pours on high rise buildings. In this video, I want to share some more details of the accident and what was done in order to lift the partial stop work order that was issued by the Department of Buildings as a result of the failed hoist braking system. Let us break down the steps that were taken that led up to the accident and post-accident steps that were taken to resolve the issue and lift the partial stop work order. The concrete crew set up the space and ran a concrete hose from the pump truck in the nearby street to the base of the scaffold. Now there are a handful of teams positioned on several floors. The teams are all working to ensure that the loaded concrete bucket doesn’t twist around and get out of control. At the base of the scaffold, the concrete bucket was loaded with 1/3 yard, or 1,573.50 pounds, of concrete. The electric roof hoist operator then gets cued to start bringing up the loaded concrete bucket to the floor being poured. While in the middle of the concrete bucket lift, the braking system failed on the electric hoist. This brake failure caused the bucket to shift at least one floor down and partially dump out concrete onto the scaffold. This drop and tip in the bucket caused the weight of the bucket to crash and break a section of the scaffold. This included a break in the scaffold support to the building steel. The good thing about the way the loaded bucket fell onto the scaffold sections, the scaffold sections absorbed the weight and impact of the bucket. This protected the two workers on the scaffold from being crushed by the falling concrete bucket. However, one of the scaffold sections broke free and hit one of the guys in the arm. Thankfully, this impact gave minor injuries to one of the trapped workers and he was able to finish the work day after his trip to the urgent care. This required trip to the urgent care caused the site safety manager to call up the Department of Buildings. A DOB inspector comes onsite to review the accident scene. After the accident scene review, the scaffold contractor was given the green light to repair the damaged scaffold sections by the DOB inspector. That was the only type of work that was granted in the space in order to re-secure the scaffold. A partial stop work order caused the work for all of the different trades to be halted. Let me add a note that I know that the engineer of record was also called out to the scene to review prior to the DOB inspection. Additionally, a Beta Max electric hoist maintenance man was called onsite to troubleshoot and repair the hoist. The hoist was repaired, serviced, tested, and the manufacturer finished and gave the general contractor the green light to use the electric hoist. Once the scaffold was repaired and tested, the space was prepared for a re-inspection by the Department of Buildings inspector. The DOB inspector was satisfied during the inspection with the repairs and lifted the partial stop work order. The crews were then allowed to return to work on that floor and prepare the different floors for either concrete repair or replacement. Again, thankfully, the crews were not majorly injured in this jobsite mishap. Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on sharing with you the remaining details of this accident that could have very well have ended in death. In my previous videos, I had shared with you a sample daily pre-operation checklist that must be performed by competent crew members. As I had also stated before in previous videos, the objective is to learn from the accident while also trying to avoid similar accidents in the future. Having daily visual inspections, using daily checklists, and taking all possible safety measures for the task at hand is vital in order to avoid accidents. Stay tuned for future videos where I offer a variety of topic related information that come from different construction related safety subjects. I intend on going with my next topic on the subject of being self while welding onsite. Stay tuned for the release of that video. I also want to do question and answers for safety study material since that is a niche that is not plentiful on YouTube. Now that I have wrapped up my three-part series on an accident related to an electric hoist and concrete buckets, I'm now sharing the links to the podcast platforms and YouTube channel: The Verbally Disastrous Podcast & Construction Tales Safety Topic audio content links on Spotify, Spotify For Podcasters, and even MP4 YouTube links: The Verbally Disastrous Podcast On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/52xBe1cGlvu3YCCicEOfCj The Verbally Disastrous Podcast On Spotify For Podcasters: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vd-leslie-m-jasper The Verbally Disastrous Podcast On Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/verbally-disastrous-podcast-leslie-m-jasper-melissa/id1560907872 The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81NGI3NjY5Yy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Radio Public: https://radiopublic.com/the-verbally-disastrous-podcast-w-Wd9eeX The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ememoels The Verbally Disastrous YouTube Channel On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE8tVs9kmwoS9turm4zzv-g Please hook me up by subscribing to my Verbally Disastrous YouTube channel.

Safety Topic Of The Day: The Beta Max Leo LLC Electric Hoist Sample Pre-Inspection & Safety Checklist

The Verbally Disastrous Podcast- On Spotify:

Hello Everyone! For most of us, we have made it to the end of another productive work week. On my project, I get to celebrate Juneteenth with my upcoming three-day weekend. This is the second year of observing this relatively brand-new holiday. As I had previously shared in prior posts, I recently found out that Anchor.fm is no longer electronically converting this written blog to an audio MP3 form automatically. I can only assume that now they have perfected their act, they now want to charge for this service. I honestly don't know the back story on why this feature dropped off the Earth suddenly. Therefore, I still have to figure out an alternate way to accomplish restoring this audio blog goal- in a cost effective manner. Additionally, I've noticed that the blog's many podcast platforms, that was previously available, was removed for some reason. Therefore, I'm trying to add my podcast again onto those same platforms again. I've also learned that messing with my RSS Feed links is the host and changes impact the availability on different platforms. At one point, I had the podcast on over +20 podcast platforms. I guess I will back track and see where I've been dropped off and put myself back on again. Moving forward, I will share my Construction Tales Safety Topic YouTube videos on my main Spotify channel. Therefore, my brand-new Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes are my YouTube safety topics. Before I share my latest "Construction Tales Safety Topic" content, allow me to share some updates on my other projects. My established "$ugar Momma Baddie" themed clothing and accessory collection is available on both Spring and Shopify ecommerce platforms. Check out the two designs that you can choose from: 1) Feisty Lady Trio 2) Sugar Momma Bed. The "$ugar Momma Baddie" Shopify and Spring store links are down below in this Quora blog post. The links for the paperback, e-book, and now audio version for my first children's book that's entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" are also down below in this blog post. Both my first children's book and my #ConstructionTales book are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and Audible. The audio versions of both of my books can be found in four Audible markets that include: France, Dutch, U.K., and the United States. Now that I've wrapped up my "Leslie's book and podcast ad", let's check out the written version of the latest Construction Tales Safety Topic that is known as video #14, Part B on my MP3 and MP4 formats: In the last video, I explained what type of electric hoist and concrete bucket that was involved in a recent jobsite accident. Prior to even starting the electric hoist, competent crew members must go through a series of daily safety checks that come from a company checklist. In this video, let us explore the series of safety steps that this general contractor takes prior to starting up the electric hoist that’s used to raise and lower the concrete bucket: 1. Utilize double-line setup. 2. Hoist capacity with double line setup = 2000 lbs. 3. Ensure hoist bays are clean and clear of debris. 4. Position two (2) competent hoist operators on platform at the top of supported scaffold. 5. Ensure hoist operators know the locations of all emergency stop push buttons or power disconnects. 6. Observe all safety precautions. 7. Disconnect power supply before attempting any repair or maintenance. 8. Take up slack in wire rope slowly. 9. PuII the wire rope slack off of the drum when in a down direction. 10. Never place hands within any area of the wire rope or pulleys while the wire rope is in motion. 11. Inspect the system daily to ensure bolts and anchoring devices are secure and tight. 12. Communicate between crews using radios while hoisting and unloading concrete. 13. Ensure workers on walkway platforms are tied off securely. 14. Connect mud tub using double rope kit and spreader bar. 15. Connect concrete bucket using double rope kit. 16. Use calibrated scale to measure the weight of mud tub/concrete bucket as required. 17. Ensure connections to spreader bar and concrete bucket are secure and tight. 18. Ensure no people are directly below or within 20 feet of hoist while operating. 19. Do not exceed maximum lifting capacities stated on the hoist model and serial number label/plate Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on introducing you the daily pre-operation checklist by competent crew members. As I stated before in the previous video, the objective is to learn from what happened and try to avoid it in the future. We are grateful that the young men involved in this accident were not seriously harmed. Stay tuned for future videos where I offer even more jobsite accident details and the way the problem was resolved with DOB in order to lift of the partial stop work order. This wraps up what I have for now on this particular topic on electronic hoists and concrete buckets. Stay tuned for future content on this subject matter.

This is short story #11 entitled, "Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools". This short story covers my life as a widowed, single mother in the era when I juggled both motherhood and my career as a journeywoman electrician. I share the various challenges I faced and lessons learned along the way. The previous short story is entitled: #10: "Early Life Lessons & Characters To Meet As An Apprentice". I decided to write about some life lessons such as guarding your personal information, managing nasty rumors, combating sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism. Overall, the construction culture has improved dramatically over the past 25-years. Developing both a thick skin and a sharp tongue are key tools needed to survive various jobsite antics. I hope you learn something from this short story. There are more to come. These short stories are now also available as Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes.
