I think you need a new legal council.

Your counsel is, of course, absolutely correct.

It's also a safety hazard to have your fleet drivers drive their vehicles.

Just because something is a safety hazard doesn't mean you stop doing it. It just means you look at the situation, use competent subject matter experts to write up a short "How not to get hurt checking fluid levels" page, give one to every driver, have them sign for it, and trust that no one hired idiots.

The hazard is then responsibly mitigated and legal liability is reduced to an acceptable level. If your counsel didn't take you through all this and merely hit you with "checking levels is a hazard" without further advice, then your counsel needs to extract their cranium from their rectum and do all their job, not just the easy part.

I'm using this next week when we have our sit down. Im just going to start with "Yes, I realize checking fluids is hazardous, but so is driving" and go from there. That's just fucking genius.

I always knew you were a genius!

In spite of what everybody told me.

I mean, I'm reading that as a pep talk before I go sit with my director to discuss this subject. I'm already pumped!

If not and some retard pops the cap off the radiator and looks down the hole when it's boiling hot..... Society has been dumbed down and insurance knows it. Sorry brother. Fluid checker is now a job title.

 

[Charlie]

Heh! They won't do it but once if it's hot!

 

[grasshopperglock]

A Kid in high school did it. You're right, only once. His face was jacked up. Ultra serious looking sunburn. He somehow was able to close his eyes before the water hit. He was a lughead. Someone you'd expect to do it.

When I worked at walmart in high school, I walked out to find a guy I went to school with all red faced and covered in water/antifreeze. He had pulled the cap with the engine still running! He was pouring jugs water he had just bought in. As he poured them in, the water just boiled out, remember the car was still running! He did all this because the water was a little low in the overflow resevoir!!! He had already poured in 6 gallons abd was pouring more!

Yes, they walk among us!

Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians!

The hazard is to the vehicle. Many people have no business under a hood. Most of those people think they know what they are doing and that is scary.

Recently mentioned in another thread, but I did this the summer after high school. My beard and glasses protected much of my face but I lost most of the skin off my chest.

The hospital experience was a story all on its own. My stay was incredibly short. I was quickly going into shock and was barely able to see due to the tunnel vision closing in. I was about to crash, badly. A few more seconds and I would have passed out.

Then, seemingly far in the distance, I heard the nurse hang up the phone and tell my parents that the one and only doctor in our town that weekend whose job it was to cover the emergency room was too busy at his office seeing patients to come to the hospital and didn't believe the situation was serious enough to warrant the inconvenience to his waiting patients.

You know what can snap you back from shock? Adrenaline.

I don't think I've ever been as instantly angry in my life. My vision returned, I hopped off the gurney in the emergency room and bolted out the door. The doctors office was just a few blocks away and I ran the entire distance.

The staff at his office had a habit of making you wait on the other side of the frosted glass as a power trip. I planned to throw a chair right through the glass as soon as I entered the waiting room. Unfortunately, the waiting room was packed with, as I recognized in retrospect, the entire high school football team who were in for their pre-school-year physicals. Everybody stared at the crazy guy who had just ripped open the door but since there were no unoccupied chairs to throw, I ran to the frosted glass, threw it open, stuck my head over the counter, and screamed "If that fucker won't come to the hospital, where the **** does he want me?"

Wordlessly and recoiling from me, they pointed to my right. I went through the door and they pointed at a room. I went in, flopped down on the examination table, and hissed "Get him here. Now!"

The doctor never entered the room. He stayed in the doorway and had a nurse give me some pills for pain or just to knock me out. Then he verbally guided her in applying a thick coat of silver sulfadiazene over my chest and face. In the few minutes it took to cover me, I calmed down to a degree that wouldn't have been possible without chemical help. Then he disappeared and I walked out. He never said a word to me.

Parents took me home, drove me that night to Houston where I was about to enter college, and I spent quite a while watching the kinds of weird things your chest does when the skin is burned off. What was all that green goo it excreted? How many pints of silver sulfadiazene can I go through in two weeks? What's it like to not be able to wear a shirt, leave the apartment, or do anything other than eat, be tended to by others, and drink multiple bottles of Kaopectate to try to get over the explosive diarrhea that seems to come with the shock of a bad burn? How many years will it take for the scars to go away? (Answer to that last one - about a decade.)

I learned all sorts of stuff I didn't want to know. (And I may have learned something just now: I don't think I'm completely out of stories, yet. I thought I was but maybe not. We shall see.)

tl;dr - Checking the fluids underhood can be hazardous, especially if you're a dumbass.

What he said.

Hell of a story Ben!

 

[TxStetson]

Mornin Folks. It’s the weekend.

 

[TxStetson]

That’s an awesome story Ben. Reminds me of when I was a junior in high school, and a car battery blew up in my face. Luckily I was in the hospital parking lot, and even luckier their irrigation sprinkler was running about 10 feet away. By the time anyone got to me I had already stumbled to the sound of the sprinkler and washed the hot acid from my eyes and face. By the time they got me into the ER, I had falready flushed the area pretty well. Being able to immediately flush my face prevented any major chemical burns, but the scars from heat burns on my face and chest lasted for many years.

Mornin!..... Coffee!
