This doesn't bear thnking about.

In the good old days, if someone was working in a high risk area they would take out the fuse or unscrew the trip and take it with them so it would be impossible to turn on the fire, or turbo fan etc.

Not to have some form of mechanical alarm in the furnace is appalling

[EternalOptimist]

The incompetance is staggering.
I put a rolled shoulder of pork in the oven at midday yesterday. The first thing I did before lighting the gas was to check if there were any Austrians hiding in there.

In fact , it wouldnt have mattered to me if they weren't hiding.
Even sheltering from the rain , or having and Austrian 'face slapping contest' in secret

I probbly still wouldnt have cooked them at gas mark 7 , making sure to baste them every thirty minutes before putting the poatoes in to roast one hour before removing the meat.

?what were we saying

Or the prices of their houses.

300,000 Euro.

You seem to take the view because they're dead it can't be their fault. Is this like how when someone dies in a tragic accident they're always "the kind of person who lightened a room, everyone loved them, etc"? You never get a hit'n'' run where people interviewed say "well he was a bit of a gobby chav but it's still sad".

Nothing sickening about it, they NEED to establish fault to decide what they can learn from it, and if the company was negligent.

So it looks that they did not have to learn anything after all - it was all the fault of those dead workers. Yeah ?

Now detectives say the two men who had been sent inside to clean the oven had actually finished the job and left before returning a second time without informing colleagues. 

It sickens me how the company it trying to shift the blame on these poor souls

I remember working on a steel rolling mill clambering around inside on the rollers just before they wanted to start it when suddenly the coolant started gushing.

That was scary....

That was a little practical joke from the mill operators as a hint that maybe I should get off.

Were the colleagues Jewish? A remember a certain Austrian doing this circa 1938-1945.

[xoggoth]

Been shut inside the cyclcone at a cement works once. We had all the safety notices, door latches secured ect but I still worried someone might start the kiln up.

[russell]

There's a shrimp and barbecue joke in there somewhere.

[OwlHoot]

Now detectives say the two men who had been sent inside to clean the oven had actually finished the job and left before returning a second time without informing colleagues.

They also failed to instigate any of the four security measures including putting up a sign indicating that they were inside, and also failing to secure the door so that it stayed open.

As a result the door had somehow swung shut and the colleague, believing the cleaning work had finished because he had already seen his colleagues outside and noting the door was closed, had switched the oven on.

Sounds like it was less a case of corporate manslaughter and more a couple of contenders for a Darwin award.

I'm just impressed the daily fail avoided mentioning the war

What a way to go.



Do they not have safety padlocks and interlocks in Austria?

I'm no fan of 'Elf & Safetea, but really.
