It is our practice to have a "safety moment" every Monday and review our procedures and results. Thankfully we have no accidents to review. I did lean too far back in my chair last week and fell over, but did not report it to the safety officer....
Here's a good video clip that says it all about MH safety. It is also a good way to teach our crews that fugging around with a lighter and a manhole can have some rather unexpected results. We'll discuss the outcome later. Everybody have a safe rest of the week.

What a clown!
Interesting way to lift stubbon sewer manhole lids though.
Perhaps a lighter on the end of a 5 metre staff :-S

IF you watch the video, even the little kids standing nearby have enough sense to back up!
OMG!!
What do those people eat over there?
JA. PLS SoCal
I'm guessing there might have been some soiled underwear in that neighborhood. It's a good thing it smacked a building instead of landing directly on Grandma on her way home from Confession.
For some reason this reminded me of something many years ago when I worked in an old institution with steam heating- there was a resident who liked to sit on top of one of the manhole covers on a very regular basis. One day, a steam valve let go and that lid went sailing probably 50-plus feet in the air; fortunately, it was on a very rare day where the resident did NOT sit on that manhole cover. It may well have been divine intervention.
