My son is an electrician. In his first learning year at the age of 16 an electrician school mate went back into a room after the Stadtwerke = municipal utilities had switched on the electricity, because he had forgotten to take his jacket with him. As my son told me the young boy died because of a span arc = überspannungsbogen. Just the shoe sole was left of him. So however funny these little films may be - the dangers are shockingly serious. Greetings from Germany.
A teacher at my school when I was in apprenticeship as Electrician told about the times he had been out in the field working for a big company. One day he needed to measure the voltage on a power bus bar. He put the cables into his instrument and just before he put the tips to the power bus bars he realized that the cables he had in hand were of the same colour instead of being different. The cable melted in his hands and he got some burns, but luckily his reflexes let him close the eyes so they did not get damaged. ... Even though my apprenticeship prepared me for work with higher voltages, I luckily never had to handle more than the usual 400V three phase system in Germany. And even this one needs to be treated with a lot of respect. As is the saying: There are old electricians, and there are daring electricians. But not old daring ones. 😅
You are very right about that. My husband learned multiple professions and the first was with the ÖBB (österreichische Bundesbahn) repairing trains and the electrical systems. They were shown films like that and still one of them died and another lost a finger. They were boys from ages 15 to 19. Young guys are just prone to do stupid things, especially when they are a large group. Unfortunately making a mistake can be deadly.
@PetstoUwU :D I told my father the same because he wanted to change the lamp in the living room.. he didn't listen and also forgot to turn off the lamp while he was dismounting it, so he's got an electric shock and fell down the ladder, he wasn't injured and I laughed very hard :D War lustig anzusehen :D
Just wanna add a bit of context and explanation. Mebedo, the company that made the video specializes in electrical safety. They offer software and training to test appliances, electrical installations, and document the results. Horst’s job title (VEFK, Verantwortliche Elektrofachkraft) means he’s responsible for anything relating to electrical safety in his company. Germany is one of few countries that require electrical appliances to be checked on a regular basis. (Only in companies, not private households). Most small businesses rely on external service providers for that.
The absolute first thing you learn in Europe, as a prospective electrician, are the five vital safety rules, even if you only have to deal with low voltages in your job. 1 Disconnect 2 Secure against reconnection 3 Ensure there is no voltage 4 Earthing and short-circuiting 5 Cover or isolate neighboring live parts There is of course also a sequence plan for recommissioning. It is also not healthy to put a 380 kV into operation if step 4 of the vital 5 has not been removed.
Rule 1 "Freischalten" well still can not compete with sheer idiots. - During maintenance of a huge (as in you can climb and walk around in it) cold steel press line. The crew did secure the emergency braces and switches. You need a key to remove those, which has to be carried by the crew at all times. A worker nobody tolled about the maintenance came along finding himself unable to work since it would not start. He informed his supervisor who got the spare keys from the safe and unlocked the press.. three dead, one heavily injured and one on the spot fired supervisor. Now you need two guys to open the safe.
There is a series of work safety advising films called "Napo". They involve 3D computer cast characters in different work scenarios involving safety hazzards. It isn't a destinctly German series but there are German versions of it and it was made in collaboration with the DGUV, a German insurance company and other european companies. In my opinion it is fun to watch and I think you should watch it too.
I have seen a guy entering the wrong Medium Voltage (20kV) cabinet for maintenance.... He stumbled out burning like a torch and dropped dead after 2 meters... Those safety rules are written with ash and blood....
Just to be complete: there is also this " Friseuse Claudia - Ein Unfallverhütungsfilm" clip but in the end there is only one "Staplerfahrer Klaus" ua-cam.com/video/i5v-RR8bX7o/v-deo.htmlsi=VGNJEbITK0FdNaOA
These videos are called "Unfallverhütungsfilme" (i.e. accident prevention movies) and are shown during the training of workers. And it makes sense, since they're quite graphic and funny as well, you won't forget what you heard and seen there.
what most people don't know about these learning videos, that they're based on real cases inside companies. They deliberately exaggerated it in these films.
this is the video we watched in the first week of vocational school during safety lessons. That and other cautionary pictures and videos of what happens when you do something wrong.
Since you've liked the Instruction Films this far. There is also one made for hairdressers by the name of "Friseuse Claudia - ein unfallverhütungsfilm".
I just love your reaction videos! Amazing choice of clips. I was just wondering if you might be able to put together a special episode featuring some Scottish comedians that your German followers would really enjoy?
The thing with the light , with fixtures like these they are wired in Pairs, so both flash with a bad bulb , so he was testing when it stops. But bad practice, replace both
im currently in my aprenticeship as an Anlagenmechaniker Sanitär Klima und Heizungstechnik (plumbing and heating installer) and we watched this one to. We need to know the savety rules because we are installing boilers and we need to conect the wirering of the heatingsystems.
And the name Horst after that became even some kind of curse word for really dumb and unresponsive guys. Only to be beaten by Vollhorst, ( full Horst) as Standard humiliation for "underperformers"
And the next video should be: Kevin, the youtube autotranslator! Experience the most f*ckedup translator you can imagine... we dont just make it wrong, we will make it foolproof wrong.
After watching Forkliftdriver Klaus, this one was a bit disappointing. 😅 By the way, I like how Mert is pronouncing "Horst" more than the correct way, because it sounds funny, which suits well to the comedian aspects of the video. 😆
Hi, for the Klaus and this video, your source video is not in the lower right box but rather stretched at the bottom of the video with the original box still visible. Is this intentional?
Thanks for the video, I really like your sense of humour and you come across very genuine and sympathetic :) I think the stretching thing you did to the video is extremely confusing and irritating. I know you experimented with different split layouts over the years but this is really the worst. Why not simply have it as normal PiP or even full size with yourself as PiP like basically any other creator does it?
Sadly thats all of the classics. ua-cam.com/video/i5v-RR8bX7o/v-deo.html Is another one, but it is not as good as the other two. But if you wanna do some Safety related stuff, without the humour there are chinese Safety videos which are animated, but also hillarious in there execution. I'm a german Mechatronics Guy, so half electrician, half mechanic and half programmer, if that makes sense. And I had in 2nd year of my apprenticeship the Berufsgenossenschaft, a institution that is responsible for work safety come over and show some very grim pictures of real accidents. Ampere, the Silent Killer, basically. Had two colleagues who became cashiers after this presentation. For good reasons. It wasn't as grim as the one they show to electricians after they graduate, but it was easy to see, that Electricity is Friggin Dangerous. I think thats Ok, when you work as an electrician, you need to know what you are doing - as horst needs to remember: never think of routine, as experience.
In Germany there is a saying, ‘You are such a Horst/Klaus.’, which describes the doltishness of the person opposite. I don't know if it has anything to do with these short films.
Well, that is over the top exaggerated (explosion) quite from start and thus way less funny than Staplerfahrer Klaus who got more and more absurd over time and thus was staying on the funny side.
Can't you guys leave politics out of this? You are german, so tell me what you think of Germany sends Tanks to Saudi Arabia? What about uprising of the Right Wing? What about Nazi Germany back in the days? What about Germany breaking a lot of EU laws? Leave Mert the F alone!
German sense of humour: children get Grimm's Fairy Tales and the "Struwwelpeter" and the adults get "Staplerfahrer Klaus".......

5:30 The sign says: "I'll be back in a minute."
I thought of a funnier translation. "back in a heartbeat" ;D
Then now go straight to Friseuse Claudia. Another pearl of german humor at work, just like Forkliftdriver Klaus.

This makes sure you never forget safety protocols
That saxophone track it keeps cutting to is so ridiculous. :D
I've been waiting so long for some American reacting to horst xD
Thank you so much for this funny experience.

If I ever gonna hear the Horst Walk, imma walk the fuck away.
Killer instict, this guy...
This video is a REAL educational film, though it is full of drastic humour.
Yes I had to watch him as Teenager (it's agerestricted to 16) when I got 16 at work.....
The sign he put on her said : back in a few Minutes 😂😂😂

This is why it's forbidden to have a second key for those locks....

9:50 EMT: 100kV bring a shovel
In a lot of cases at >1000V you already need a shovel,and i guess above 100kV you dont need a shovel anymore.
@@neutronenstern. A broomstick, maybe?
@@neutronenstern. yeah, it depends on more than just the voltage. A microwave oven transformer at 4000V can kill you before you even feel the shock.

hearing horsts music in the bus from somewhere: guess i die here.
Hope the collective wisdom of the German internet knows more of them. I personally only knew Klaus and Horst.
21:09 Yes, it is common in Germany to show Elektriker Horst as well.
That background music in the beginning reminds me of and gives me "Techno-Viking" vibes 😆
Mert should react to the viking as well. Nothing to learn there language-wise but a deep look into german culture 🤣
Gosh you really found and reacted to him :D
Glad you liked it :D
5:25 This plate says,I will be back in a minute.
5:26 "in wenigen Augenblicken bin ich wieder da!" - I will be back in a (few) blink(s) of the eye. Or simply "Be right back"

Would "interrupt circuit" or "keep circuit interrupted" be sufficient as a translation?

Hi,
great content.
Best reguards from Germany.
I used to see this in crafts class in high school XD
After watching Forkliftdriver Klaus, this one was a bit disappointing. 😅
By the way, I like how Mert is pronouncing "Horst" more than the correct way, because it sounds funny, which suits well to the comedian aspects of the video. 😆
I think same company produced this short movie.
next one: Friseuse Claudia
Well, it was not as brutal as fortklift Klaus.
Hi, for the Klaus and this video, your source video is not in the lower right box but rather stretched at the bottom of the video with the original box still visible. Is this intentional?
Yes. Because of Copyright issues.
If you looking for other videos like this, i can recommend you "Friseuse Claudia" 😂
Back in a few moments...
Thanks for the video, I really like your sense of humour and you come across very genuine and sympathetic :)
I think the stretching thing you did to the video is extremely confusing and irritating. I know you experimented with different split layouts over the years but this is really the worst. Why not simply have it as normal PiP or even full size with yourself as PiP like basically any other creator does it?
W I D E H O R S T
Why is the video of you watching stretched out across the bottom half of the screen and not shown in the black frame at the bottom right?
Copyright issues. When he shows it in normal, he can't show it. UA-cam will put down the video.
Sadly thats all of the classics.

Why are you stretching the video like this?!
While the lectures themselves are good, the video itself doesnt seem like it has been done by someone who knows shit about electricity.
