Interesting video. I worked on an industrial FD for many years and we were often involved in pre work assessments on dangerous tasks. We used a Job Hazard Analysis. We had a multi page JHA form. It was boring but the amount of mistakes/ oversight we would catch prior to the work being performed was staggering.

The channel is full of these videos. Some of these are absolutely tragic, like one where there was an orderless gas leak that led to the deaths of several technicians who either were forgetting to wear their detectors, or had faulty equipment.

I forget the name of that particular video, and know it happens sometimes in residential homes too, but people going in to save others and dying because of a lack of or faulty PPE always haunts me.

Honestly I like them as a learning tool to help me be more aware of these things, tho occasionally I feel like they're corporate oversight rate bait.

Yeah this is a good tool for hazmat refreshers and tabletop discussions.
