ENGR 213 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Forklift
Document Summary
Engineering student bryan springer has a high-paying summer job as a forklift operator. This job enables him to attend college without having to take out any student loans. He is now staring at a 50-gallon drum filled with used machine coolant, wondering what he should do. Just moments ago, bryan"s supervisor, max morrison, told him to dump half of the used coolant down the drain. Bryan knew the coolant was toxic, and he mentioned this to max. Max: the toxins settle at the bottom of the drum. If you pour out half and dilute it with tap water while you"re pouring it, there"s no problem. Bryan: i don"t think that"s going to work. Max: look, kid, i don"t have time for chit-chat about a bunch of silly laws. If i spend my time worrying about every little regulation that comes along, i"d never get anything done and neither would you.
