It bothers me it's not in 4 bit "bytes" even though I know it's just a convention for computers
I totally got that without the text bubble.
For anyone who doesn't want to do the conversion, that's 17 days.
It also has a max of 31 days possible. Which has... implications.
Among many other duties I manage the safety and claims database for an outsourced industrial cleaning company and let me tell you, some of the plants my company works struggle to make it a week without an accident, meanwhile some will go years without an accident. We also have one plant which had its last accident during the Bush Administration. Its absolutely wild how much safety can vary from one industrial facility to another
Or 11 in hexadecimal
Or -15 days
Ominous
It's even worse considering that they only have five boards. They expect at least one accident every month
I work in the LTL freight industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We're talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.
I've been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.
It's telling that their counter only goes up to a month
It’s a great way to save on number boards
Not so much on board space
You can save if your lab is unsafe enough!
I love the leak in the other room. Get ready to reset the counter folks!
And the fumes being vented inside that room.
The author of this comic has a number of excellent coffee table compilations: https://www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2 (unaffiliated -- I just like them :))
i like their style, very pleasant and original
They've never gone more than a month without an accident? Find a new work place immediately!
With a large enough workplace in the wrong industries it's really easy to have something that could count against it.
I work in the LTL freight industry, we get quite a few.
