i am 65 and worked in some sort of construction for many years and never saw anyone close to that tacklebox character. that personality simply does not do actual manual labor but prefers careers like hair stylist or office manager. not that all who do that sort of work are anything like this guy but generally fluffy guys take on fluffy jobs. have you run into these type workers on job sites because if you have not then it makes no sense using a training video of people like that.

@@paulk5311 this is every employee from “turner construction” (general contractor) that has ever existed. Who TF tells electricians to use scaffolds because ladders aren’t safe?

@@paulk5311 it’s a generation thing, all unions even oil fields up here in AK make EVERYONE stretch or you leave the job site

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" "The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now" The Book of Truth.

roll of towels, and tape. boom good enough

He should have gone to his Subaru and got the one he carrys for such occasions.

We've got one in the trailer that I'm pretty sure expired before I even hired on.

We had a first aid box that we kept tape and extra pencils in. Nothing else. Super glue and e or duct tape fixes most injuries.

I’m not paying you to just stand around 99.9% of security guards including myself

I have to stretch every day, it's funny finding out who's been drinking when we have to stand on one leg.

Every time I hear "electrical tape" it makes me think of this how-to channel that gave really bad advice. He said it's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity. 🤣 Can't remember what the channel was called but it was pretty good if you understood it was a joke and not actual advice.

@@xMattBinghamx I can always tell when an electrician has used tape, and when someone else has. It’s an open secret. The normal and most common use of tape is wire pulling. Especially on bigger wire, like feeds. An electrician will always start the wrap with the tape backwards (sticky side facing up) and then flip the tape so the sticky side is down. That way, when you’re removing the head, the tape doesn’t stick to the wire. They’ll also give you a buddy tail, when they’re done wrapping the tape the spin the tape before tearing it so you can grab the tail to start undoing the tape instead of trying to find the end. Of course, you can use tape to safe off live conductors of lower voltage, but that’s not common unless the electrician knows the the conductor is inaccessible and/or temporary. The better way is to wire nut the conductor and tape it so it can get knocked off easily. Lastly, tape is used to mark phases. A phase black, B phase red, C phase blue. There’s other color codings (orange for a high leg, for example) and wire colors to mark other voltages at a glance. It’s why you’ll see brown, orange, yellow, and gray in like hospitals, to mark 277 volt lighting circuits.

This is a thing? People are actually mandated to stretch? XD Been a framer for 15 years and never seen that. Granted, I work in residential. Tell you what though, doing CrossFit regularly has saved me from injury on the job more times than I can count.

@@drew5334 Yeah, on some jobs. It’s usually an insurance thing since you get less back injuries, pulled muscles, etc. I used to mock it, but even I had to admit I wasn’t needing Aleve after pulling feeders for 8 hours straight.

That's more than 2 things 🤔

I had one late because there was snow on his car. What a surprise, we live right on Lake Erie and it snows all the time lol.

I once had an apprentice get to work, and while still in his car parked in the parking lot, texted me to say he wanted to go home because he was "too tired". He then drove away.

@@PeopleOfCorinth as an apprentice I apologize lmao

Better than I can say. I always wanted to work blue collar trades out of high school. Applied for a ton of places but never got hired because I didn’t drive at the time. Ended up in a downtown office environment now I’m white collar and it sucks.

It’s really not that bad

they don't take time off any more because they are avoiding their wives now

@@maxrice6990 true haha

@bronchoped1 exhibit A

Double standards much

Yep. What they really mean is they never missed a day of work unless they were sick, drunk, hunting, fishing or beating up their wives.

Yep. But it's missing being tired all the time and being an alcoholic. I was in my way to get there but then I quit construction work.

10 years construction, not an alcoholic, hate safety. Never been hurt

@@niceguy6837 Good for you. Now what about all the "hate safety" people who ended up severely injured? Not being safe increases risk, but it doesnt make the chance of injury 100%. The point is to reduce that risk as much as reasonably possible. Just because you personally havent been hurt doesnt mean you wont be in the future, and it doesnt mean other people havent been hurt doing the exact same things. If you arent following safety guidelines, then you're just being reckless and needlessly increasing your chances of a work place injury.

@@eragon78 safety sucks, only dumb dumbs get hurt

I knew an old guy who "needed to take his meds" (Bud Light tall boy) everyday at lunch

I worked with a welder who filled his thermos with straight whiskey and he would sometimes have it empty before lunch. One of the best welders I’ve ever known.

I worked with a concrete finisher who would chug a gallon of cold skim milk during the hot summer days.

I love that part😂

Let them mock all they want, then show up to the hospital and call them sissies for getting sick and laying down.

i worked with some guy who got EYE SURGERY, and two days later we were sanding an entire basement, there is no way he didnt permanently hurt his eyes. (he was the boss too, if he wanted to stay home he couldve) if people wanna be tough and take zero safety precautions, thats on them

Those guys end up living damn near forever

Branded for life lol

We had a guy on our roofing job who was cheap and refused to buy proper footwear. Well one morning he slipped and fell off the roof while wearing his Adidas running shoes... Dude was okay but was named Adidas from then on.

In my trade, stretching is the best way to start the day. Granted I start my day with a smoke and a why the fuck is this tree coming down. I gotta start. Coming home and letting my 2 year old jump on my back to fix it is not it

Stretching is important, though it depends on what.

Smart man

A 53 year old stretching? Yeah, that's what you get when you hire the younger generation. 😉😁

Stretching should be done by all const. some companies it’s mandatory now a days, they need you and don’t want you off of work!!!!!

Your а$$ноLз?

So in other words you’re telling other dudes that you will let them tug on your tool. For free

*sigh* gonna pull myself on this one too ugh

Go get the duct strechers..square to round transition? Use Grey duct tape,,,enough of it is stronger than metal.

100%. Same thing with earplugs and a respirator mask. I work in a pulse elevator and plant (so things like peas and lentils), and the noise and flying dust is something that many of the old farts like to claim you "just gotta get used to". Fuck that, I wear my mask, safety glasses, and earplugs when I work in the plant. I like having sight, hearing, and the ability to breathe without my lungs sounding like a carburetor from the 1960s.

Had a union guy work with us for a while, first real job outside of the union. I was arguing with my supervisor about 30ft up the scaffold on how to properly setup the last bit of the build. Our union boy freaked out and started screaming "I can't work like this! Fuck you! Stop yelling!" etc. No one was even talking to him. My super then proceeded to talk shit to him and he climbed down, took his shirt off, paced around, grabbed all his tools, then took an Uber home. Wasn't the first time he freaked out while me and my super argued about a build. Lol dude couldn't handle conflict at all even when it wasn't directed at him.

Def thought he was gonna deck him at that point

Over here on the east coast we have a name for guys carrying a rigging axe. A butcher and they have no business framing.

He's actually a concrete guy not a framer.

That is awesome, I wish I had that experience, I started a bit later than you

I started one of my sons with hammer and roofing nails at 20 months. One of our favorite family memories is, " Mo nails, Mommy, mo nails!".
