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...

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.

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)

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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
