Anyone know the policy about a factory closure due to warm weather? Like, a law.. that says you have to close it once it gets to a certain temp like back at school?

its negotiated with the employer

my union at the airport is pathetic, they couldnt talk organise there way out of a paper bag... if it was soggy and easy to tear. hence why they dont get my monies.

we have to work regardless, last year out on the tarmac it was 50degrees, and we had to work in the belly of planes that had been sitting in the sun all day so imagine the temp there... no bonus pay, no leaving early you just work untill you drop

Yeah I remember school left early if it was going to be 38+. Even better in a double bricked, tin and asbestos lined roof. Oh.. and our 200+ degree extruders. Love it.

they did that at my school only thing was you were walking back home during the hottest part of the day. 45min death march for me :P although i didnt mind cause i didnt have to do school work.

Yeah its redicilous at our work. No climate control AT ALL, meanwhile machines running at 200degrees and massive hydro style lights hanging from the roof which are always turned on never off and theres like one every square M..

Fail factory. No A/C in the lunch room either :P

Treated worse then animals...

Yeah, how some of these employers get away with making staff do labour in 40+ weather is beyond me. Sounds like Rhys job is comparable with electricians and cablers, getting stuck in roof cavities in 40+ weather trying to fix someones aircon is pretty damn nasty. I feel for mechanics and other folks who have to work in such conditions... for the most part I'm on the road in my car with the aircon on full, or I'm in an airconditioned office or server room. Sometimes I have to go into the factories and when I do, I feel the heat more than the other blokes there (cause theyre acclimatized)

TBH if I was a labour based employer, I'd be giving the workers the option of working at night time instead (unless of course the factory is already 24 hours/split shift rotation) - even then, it doesnt cost a lot to get a monster of an evaporative cooler in a factory and run it, and those evaps work quite well when the building isnt completely sealed...

-D

They got us 'hired' coolers last years summer right at the end so there was 2 weeks of summer left, what wankers. and before then they gave us spray bottles so we can spray water on our faces? WTF does that do?

Of course the boss' office is climate controlled :(. The extrusion operators are the only people in the whole of PPI that don't have a climate controlled environment, Even the store boys and maintenance man have A/C's in their offices etc our lunch room doesn't even have an A/C... We ask and we get an answer just to stall the situation so its like bashing your head against the concrete floor. FML :P

If employers gave half a f**k about their employees as much as they do profits I'd be a happy man and I'd be more inclined to work my ass off in this heat. But when management will just sit on their ass all day in their a/c offices without a care in the world about my safety I'll be happy to turn my line speed down to 11 metres a minute and take it f**king easy.

Thats right,

PPI gave me the chance to buy the GT-R and they felt they could take it away, so a big coil of pipe was dropped on my front bar. Of course not on purpose... But none-the-less pretty disheartening LOL.

Worktime yo

Thats something that would shit me too

Theyre >sitting< in their offices and doing non manual labour - they got their aircons tho, probably reverse cycle, chewing up 3kw of power per hour

Factory workers, busting their arses in hot weather and they get given a spray bottle? Nigga please

Time for a riot (or to get the union to do their damn job for a change)

-D

years ago I used to do security during the Rio Internationals at Memorial Drive (which is always in the middle of Summer).

Whilst the tennis players could walk away after a certain temperature, we'd have to stay there for the entire day = Big Fail :P

Not sure whether they measured air temp or court temp but at a certain temp they'd throw the tennis racquets down and leave us out in the open.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
