Front - End Loader Safety (1981) 

POV: you are binge watching old workplace safety videos, and started with "Shake hands with danger"

People need to open their ears and listen for a guitar riff and no accidents would happen

Shake Hands with Danger: Endgame.

When I worked at a open mine a lot of us would carry pistols loaded with blanks and would fire them in the air in case of emergency to notify everyone

Compared to them I’m lucky to be just Three Finger Joe

"hey just raise the bucket, you'll figure it out" *Guitar riff*

Hey now, the guy using the loader as a lift was perfectly safe, he had a safety line!

Shake Hands with Danger 2: Mining Mishaps

Know the color of danger. Never shake hands with danger. Never be Diver 1.

I have no idea why I'm binge-watching old safety videos, but here we are. Next up, "Getting off on the right foot". See you fellow junkies in the trainyard.

"He shook hands with danger" -Caterpillar

Those two thumbs down were from two of the guys hurt in the video. On the other hand, who else thought that some screams were needed in the soundtrack - you know, to help get the point across? Yeah, I've got a dark sense of humor.

Love the Detroit Diesels in many of these old machines, great video!

Worker: “Lets hurry this up and get to lunch.” *guitar riff*

If the allies just heard for the guitar riff, their would be no WW2

NEVER EVER bail out if about to tip!!!!!! It's a good way to die.

when you give your buddy a ride on the bucket and suddenly feel a weird speed bump

The forklift training I got was basically like this. Showed me the controls and observed me for a few minutes, handed me my cert. Luckily I have a fair amount of common sense and already knew about center of gravity, etc, because it was never mentioned once. nor was inspection.

Never end up like 3 fingers Joe

Ah yes, the days before OSHA...when a man could drink on the job and operate a 30-Ton machine. God I miss the 70’s...

3:51 at least he was tied off. Before safety harness there were safety belts, if the fall didn't get you, the sudden jerk deceleration caused the body to jack knife resulting in injury

Never get under the bucket without having it locked u would be amazed how quit a bucket can fall if a hydraulic line bust there was a guy my dad told about a backhoe bucket falling and he just laughed day or two later he was under it working and didn't have it locked and the hydraulic line broke and the bucket drove him in the ground and killed him

Who else got “Shake Hands With Danger” and have been watching lots of these safety videos ever since.

I have never, and likely will never operate a single piece of heavy equipment. But I sure learned a lot.

Where you at 2 AM gang?

Looks like our grandfathers had to deal with knuckleheads on the job sites as well🙄

RU-vid: Hey you Me: ? RU-vid: wanna watch a 1980's safety video? Me: ......no Also me: *clicks video*

The saying was if Detroit desiel made bricks they'd be green and leak oil.

If it starts to TIP, stay firm and GRIP!

There is no way this is 1981, more like 1971.

the scariest danger ive probably ever shaken hands with off the top of my head was work on a platform raised by a forklift that had no working brakes and i almost got my head pancaked between the railing of the platform and the sign i was helping put up. good thing the driver knew how to save me :P

Maybe i just always had good teachers or just had common sense but i have run a lot of equipment in my life never been threw a training class ever. Many of my teachers simply said here is the start button or key. One simply told me the machine had no brakes smash the gas till you get to the end of the road I was only 8 years old at that time. I didn't smash the gas the hole time tho and learned quickly down shifting and turning slowed the machine. Went 11 miles with it. Maybe common sense is needed. Even old operators wreck or make mistakes. Common sense probably plays in more then anything! Stay safe out there guys! Always check the brakes work or don't work before you get going. Have your backup plan for a failure of the brakes ahead of time to.

6 dislikes r from the people that think they can do anything

Michigan loaders, Euclid haul trucks, Hough loaders - I thought I was hallucinating again.

getting this recommended after watching shake hands with danger ytps. now I gotta see if this psa has been spoofed too.

Good tips for the starting out homesteader

I like that white Chevy stepside pickup, not many of those generation ones on the roads anymore although they became obsolete 54 years ago.

0:53 - 1:00 ... that background music wouldn't happen to have been composed by Ib Glindemann would it? That sounds very similar to a bit he did in his tune "Construction Site," which fun fact ended up later on being used -as the top of the hour sounders for 1010 WINS in New York - at least until the 90, when updated sounders still derived from Construction Site were used.

I will never look at a front end loader the same way again.

Shake hands with danger >

I had a backhoe driver once back right up into someone’s car with the bucket. He did not even get fired and he was aloud to continue to drive the backhoe and this was in 2019. The car was almost completely destroyed. Amazing how people like this still find employment. There is always some idiot trying to get the work done faster always.

04:03 :- The operator is like “ not another one” 😂😂😂

I used to operate a Volvo L50 at one place I worked. It was easier than driving the Chevy pickup I had at the time, lol.

Shake Hands With Danger 3: The Color Of Danger

I think the moral of this video is don’t let Cowboys operate heavy equipment then!🤣

1:02 that 2 stroke detriot sound 😍

Gotta love the acting from back then.

Sometimes you just have to do what ever it takes to get the job done at the moment. That's just how it goes.

Is it safe to be watching this WHILE operating a loader? The video didn't say so it must be ok right?

1:53 I can see him breathing!

New machine operated hitting the side of the dump truck is actually good practice at a certain workplace I'll not mention. I remember it was good if you could get the load In the trucks skip

The guy next to the high wall was just fidling with the bucket

Ain't no way this is from 1981! It looks more like early 70's

Those guys must have all gone deaf running those loud ass Detroits with no ear protection.

Where's 3 finger Joe?

Nice this is a old video and Good

2:29, in all my life, I have never seen a model like this before, with its cab on the drivers side of the frame, not centered.....what dumbass designed that thing?!?!?!?!?!?!? that cab placement itself is dangerous, if it where to roll over on the drivers side, that driver would be dead!! even though it has ROPS, it would've been severely damaged by a rollover on the drivers side.

This was a tad dramatic hahahaha entertaining

I love safety videos like these. They really put the “Oh shit that’s why” factor in the rules.

2 stroke screaming diesels

When i was maintenance at a metal yard, i was buzzing around the yard in a junk Chevy Venture minivan. An old timer running the CAT 980K thought it'd be funny to snag the rear of my van as he passed me. I moved over further and further but that machine just kept steering closer (hes headed opposite direction, straight for me). I aint no weenie and if he was gonna hit me, i wanted him to maybe get a jolt from it too (machine tht size... yeah right lol) the bucket snagged my rear wheel and just tore the whole rear end outta my van hahahaha scared me half to death. But when i realized he wasnt actually trying to kill me and just playing one hell of a joke, we laughed and he pushed me back to the shop lol

2:28 what da hell is that brand of front end loader?

were all the loaders painted green or is it just the video quality?

Some foremen have an attitude towards safety known as "Let 'em learn the hard way!"

Does anyone know what the deal is with the very small buckets on some of these loaders is, like the Cat being used as a lift? Or why the Cats are painted Terex green?

This is definitely a lot older than 1981. 1961 maybe.

Any MSHA guy watching this is loosing his mind right now

I never knew IH built equipment that heavy. Shame what happened to that company.

Yes. Exactly.

Ah, listen to them Detroits roaring. Lovely, lovely.

No brakes and a runaway Detroit

Yep, have done all of these. Noone has died or been hurt though taking my time. Have knocked someone in the head though. Wasnt moving and they turned around to encounter the bucket in their face from not paying attention.

cant wait for skid steer safety

3:40 Jack Nickelson

That! Lack of common sence! so true!

Algo que aprendi é que essas máquinas nao tem freio kkkkk

NFL Films presents front end loader safety.

I started driving loaders and other equipment at 10 and I'm now 13 and still drive them.

It says 1981 but all the cars are from the 50s/60s

the fellas in the bucket lift part were both killed by shaking hands with danger Is wht I was told lol

Everyone who died in this video was listed as Covid

LOL Open cab no thank you. LOL

who would dislike this lol

1981? Looks like 1961.

Shake hands with danger all mining mishaps

Sounds liké a Series 1A-1998 Class YM-3 Model B-9 General Utility Non Theorizing Environmental Control Robotic Bion from "Lost in Spacé" Robot Speaking ¡¡¡¡

I have to be honest, I never knew the front end loaders were out to get us this badly, what did we ever do to them? One advantage of it though is if you do kill someone like these guys have it’s quick and easy to dig a deep grave and pretend like it never happened…

15 ways to die with a front end loader.

date is wrong. Early '70s.

For real tho

Nobody these days would run any of those machines, no ac or heat or radio🤣🤣

7.57 well this is just silly.

Ah yes good old common sense, how humanity is still lacking in that department.

Funky loaders

Please tell this guy with white chevrolet pickup that he die in another and second episode

4:39 - Just don't tow a tractor while it's in gear.

Ffsrfv Full time for everyone

This is so fucking dangerous. 5.25 stop laying on quarry roads.

the fill factor of these operators is awful.

This is nonsense. I’ve trimmed many a tree branch from the front bucket of a backhoe, lol
