The CSB has a number of YouTube videos detailing how industrial accidents happen, and it's almost always flame, sparks, gasses, corrosion, and a fuel source.
Nobody is going to get paid for being safe, few care about learning it,fewer are going to get paid teaching it, and few are going to be listened to.
The "safe guy" is going to be the butt end of the jobs because they cost more, get it done slower, and aren't going to work on unsafe places. It's all about get it done and if someone dies that's the cost of doing business and that's on the worker.
- frickinLasers 6y agoI think OP was referring to "fireworks stored next to ammonium nitrate." Fireworks are stupidly hazardous and should never be stored around high explosives. If the sparks had hit only the ammonium nitrate (because the fireworks had been properly disposed of or at least stored in a reasonable configuration), there's a good chance the fire would not have started.
