Furniture Tip-Over PSA

FR1video — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:08:22 GMT

he force of a large television falling from tipping furniture can be staggering. A 50 lb. TV falls with about the same force as a bowling ball striking at 80 mph or a child falling from the third story of a building. That kind of impact can kill a child or cause severe injuries. About 16,000 (mostly young children) were treated in emergency rooms for tip-over related injuries in 2006, thats about four times more injuries than from exposed electrical outlets.

UPDATED: 8/09 Dozer used as protection from fire burn-over

Div3405 — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:37:07 GMT

This updated video has been corrected for current practices. CONTRACTORS ARE NOW TAUGHT TO NOT GO UNDER A MACHINE IN A BURN-OVER SITUATION. If the machine is engulfed in flames, it could potentially damage extremely hot hydraulic line, spilling oil on the operator and causing major burns. One of the best practices is to clear an area the flame height x4, park dozer in the middle, blade to flame and deploy shelter behind machine. The 1/2 throttle is to keep oils and coolant circulating to avoid overheating. You must make the decision well in advance of the fire running you over. Maintain good communications with your immediate line supervisor, division supervisor, or incident commander.
