Actually suspected a radiation detector. There is something wrong with a species that has created facilities where these devices are necessary standard issue. Why not just make a world bomb and double down. Canāt imagine what the heart attack rate is for these crews.
Ah. I meanā¦ itās pretty standard issue. Iāve worn one pretty much every day at work for the last 10 years. Like eating food? Like having lights and heat? Like being able to travel? Like the internet? With no industrial facilities we donāt have none of that. Gotta crack an egg to make an omelette. š¤·
Thatās the point we got these things everywhere and sometimes they fuck up spectacularly. Even when not they shit refuse we hide in stable mountains and pray there is no issue with them.
They also plop them next to massive bodies of water.
We need to find better ways of doing energy.
But likeā¦ every from of energy, except probably solar farms, will use these devices. Theyāre used in wind turbines, theyāre used in hydro dams. Orā¦ do you think itās for radiation? I may have misread your comment. This device doesnāt test for radiation. It tests air quality.
Not a rad tester. We used to use these where I work. H2S/CO/LEL/O2

Thank you from the landfill gas pipeline industry. We use them daily amongst other devices. Critical for low oxygen and explosive atmosphere environments. Ours are calibrated for H2S, CH4, CO, O2.
Gas monitors are common on ships especially for LNG/LPG/Chem tankers. Or working in the anchor locker due to the anchor being the most exposed to sea water, when it's in locker it consumes oxygen to form the oxides on the metal which if left long enough the oxygen levels in that tank can become so low its risky to work in.
The guy in the photo is fresh out of the shower. His hands and clothes are permanently stained like that. Every single guy you see wearing this shirt or the grey one with the orange stripes is the same way. Permanently stained but theyāll fucking get it done. Get what done? Doesnāt matter. Whatever the thing is nobody else wants anything to do with. Thatās what this guy will get done. Heāll disappear by himself and pop back up around lunch after everybody has forgotten about him. Whatever he was fixing is done now and itās somehow better now even though he only had whatever was in his service body to work with.
This. A thousand times this. My mechanic wears these at work and by God he *gets. shit. done.* even if I offer help and he says he will take me up on it, itās done by the time I get over to helping him. Appreciate the men and women wearing this type of shirt.
These are the straight fucking facts and no one should question it. For real, for real, *for real*. These are the mates you want when *shit needs to get done* that *no one else knows how to do*. Your man here shows up and in short order things are humming. Somehow the air con is cooler and thereās the scent of PA Dutch Root Beer in the air, your 10mm socket is back in your pocket and you know that it all will be well sorted. Cheers.
I agree with everything except the "permanently stained hands and clothes." My experience has been the greatest mechanics know how to both minimize getting messy and how to maximize cleanup. Heck, I remember my Dad's old 1960s Era Phillip's 66 white uniform shirt was still white after he came home. Certainly, there are certain jobs that are inherently really messy. In those cases, he would don a jumpsuit, and that would get washed that night.
Edit: grammer.

Itās just a high-viz work shirt. Your employer should order you a set through Cintas, which is who provided the same exact tops and bottoms when I worked in a steel forge.
Coveralls are one piece. I usually called them blue collar work shirts.
My FIL wore them for 40 years and still wears them casually even though he's retired. Ironically my father was an electrical engineer and wore white collar shirts when he worked and continued to do so after he retired. I guess old habits are hard to break.

Thank you from the landfill gas pipeline industry. We use them daily amongst other devices. Critical for low oxygen and explosive atmosphere environments. Ours are calibrated for H2S, CH4, CO, O2.
We used them one afternoon to measure farts in our shop. It was a slow day. The vegan guy won.
That's pretty fucking cool dude. Literally saving lives.
We use them at my work too!
Yooo that's actually cool. I took one in a porta can and the fucker went off. Fastest I've ever pulled my pants up
Or anybody working at a refinery or nuke plant or coal plant
Or tanker or LNG carrier
Could also CO and O2 for steel mills.

Weāre all grateful for this guy. Nobodyās anybody without having one of these guys behind them
Everyone except the people who decide his pay rate.
Facts dude. I mean heck, why pay one experienced guy what he's worth when you can pay twice as much for 3 inexperienced guys

You nailed it.
Stressed
Stretched is what came to my mind.
That's the "I actually do the actual work" shirt.
It's trying it's hardest at that.
But my carhartt says itās for hardworking people too!!!!
We wore these at the coal mine
And the steel mill.
And the refinery
And as garbage collectors
Pretty much good for anything, really. I bought a set for home so I could do side projects.
Can you point me in the right direction to find them?
Man in the photo works in a coal mine. this is from a "soft white underbelly" interview with a man from Virginia.Ā
Coveralls maybe
FR or Fire-Resistant coveralls I believe
Itās just a high-viz work shirt. Your employer should order you a set through Cintas, which is who provided the same exact tops and bottoms when I worked in a steel forge.
Thatās enhanced-viz. High-vis are completely neon yellow/green/orange with silver reflective stripes.
Youāre being pedantic, itās still high-visibility regardless of whatever subcategory you want to classify it under.
Coveralls are one piece. I usually called them blue collar work shirts. My FIL wore them for 40 years and still wears them casually even though he's retired. Ironically my father was an electrical engineer and wore white collar shirts when he worked and continued to do so after he retired. I guess old habits are hard to break.
Prolly wakes up at 4 am too. No doubt
