In this episode, I share an article written that describes the four legs of a crane, the outriggers. We discuss how the outriggers are equipped with pads to distribute the loads but many times the surface strength is unknown.

In this episode, I share from a blog where we advise drivers to come to a complete stop if you find yourself off of the road and in the median or on the shoulder.

In this episode, I share an interesting blog and case study of a failed water line that cause significant property damage to a medical facility. I share how PVC pipe is fused together using solvent and the importance of following manufacture recommendations.

In this episode, we discuss the Safety Hierarchy and how it relates to the real world. We analyze a case study of a core drill that seriously injured a worker. We discuss a safety analysis and how it could have been engineered safer.

In this episode, I share a blog written about the differences in motors, AC vs DC. Single phase vs Three phase motors and what to look for when sizing a motor properly. Finally we discuss how maintenance is the key to motor failure prevention.

In this episode, I share from a blog that dives into the fact that homes today are build with different materials and layouts than they were prior to 2000. The larger, more open floor plans have created more oxygen for fires and the materials seem to contribute to greater fire damage.

In this episode, I share important codes and standards written in the NFPA 54 - National Fuel Gas Code. They are critical in this case study where an explosion killed a shop owner and seriously injured a customer after gas leaked out into a business following removal of an appliance. Helpful codes mentioned in this case study are Section 3.8.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2.
