Temp Job, some one had 20 metal beams fall on their leg today.

This is totally fucked up. I have been working a temp job the last two weeks, basically unloading a small warehouse of excess inventory (cabinetry) and demoing and rebuilding the shelving. Everyday there has been different people between 3 and 10 workers per day. As we were re stacking a pile of metal beams (approx 70-80 lbs each) and wood one guy in the morning, one guy who just showed up today, stacked about 20 metal beams in one row high against a c-can. I knew the stack was unsafe, but I didn't knock it over, as I should have. Later on I am pulling wood out of the area but staying away from the stack. Next thing a good guy who had been there most of the week, started working next to me. I had totally forgotten about the unsafe stack (I just wasn't thinking). Next thing you know the stack of metal beams falls on his right leg.

:TL:DR Working temp job, some guy stacks heavy beams single file high against a container, later on someone gets their leg broken.

Volvo CE unveils ZEUX: How a LEGO model designed with kids became a prototype for a real autonomous wheel loader

The ZEUX autonomous wheel loader concept employs a scout drone and an adjustable, boom-mounted camera called The Eye, to keep track of its surroundings and indicate focus to nearby humans. Of all the major heavy equipment manufacturers, none has been more outwardly committed to bringing futuristic, autonomous and electrified machines to real-world quarries and jobsites than Volvo. For the last few years, Volvo has been publicly sharing updates on the progress of autonomous machine prototypes like its HX2 carrier (a cab-less, self-driving dump truck) and LX1 wheel loader, and electrified prototypes like the EX1 cable-connected excavator.

The manufacturer even found an opportunity to use its partnership with LEGO to inform the design of its future machines. This week, Volvo and Lego, which have partnered on high...
