Hear is one that will make you think, At ware I use to work I ran 4 draw benches that were computerisied, Each one had the main computer drive were up on the mez over the machines. These cabinets were 16'long x 8'tall x 3'deep 480 3 phase and one for each machine. Now part of my training as an operator was to reset the computer drive if it went down so I could get it back up and running again. Now there were 14 steps to reset the drive witch ment having all the doors open to reset it. Our safety director came in one nite while I was in the middle of a reset and had a fit with me doing this. He said are you lock out certified? No. Then why are you doing this? Its part of my job description to reset the drive. He said you have to have the power supply off and locked out before you open that cabinet to reset the drive. I then asked him how do you reset the computer drive with the power off? Not my problem. You turn the power off now and I will lock it out till the proper personal get here to fix it. Ok with me, BUT you will explain to the higher ups why the machines are down and lost the programming because you shut the power off in the middle of a reset. He pulled the power switch off and shut down all 4 machines and the drives, He put his lock on and walked off. Then things got ugly!!! 1 am is not the time to be calling my department head or the plant manager or the head maintenance and the head of the IT department to tell them what was going on. By 2.30am it was a 3 ring free for all shouting match going on with me and my supervisor with ring side seats to all the bosses going at it. By 4.30am there were 20 people called in early to fix the computer system. 3 days and $150,000 in parts they were running again. It was decided after this mess if I had to open it up to do a reset I was to call maintenance and someone was to come back to open the cabinet doors and step back and let me do the reset then they closed the doors when I was done. And this is an ISO 9001 company. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
