    The slats cover the conveyor belt during the voyage. These are ore ships that transport rock or stone to mills. The slats control the rate at which the ore lands on the conveyor. Other wise the conveyor would bog down under the thousans of tons or weight on them

      Looks like the bar is actually tethered so that they could mechanically pull on it. Tethering the worker won't help since the danger here is falling rock, not moving belt. There's a person on the belt start/stop button at all times.

      It's a feature of how differently sized particles 'flow' within a mass; the bigger particles, being the most cumbersome and thus least able to flow, will typically end up at the bottom and to the outside of a pile if they're being agitated, because the smaller particles can best follow the path of least resistance.
      In fact, if you start out with a mass that's evenly distributed and agitate it, they'll naturally sort themselves in that fashion.

I've worked in heavy industry for a fair bit of my life and despite how it may look, dust is by far the number one danger in what they're doing. Most of the governments are only just starting to come around to the fact that fine microphage dust is far more deadly than asbestos.
      Asbestos, you can swim in the stuff all your life and maybe be fine. Maybe only cut a few holes in a sheet and get mesothelioma. Like a bad lottery.
      Silicate dust, it's exposure. No chance or luck to it. You breathe the stuff in and your lungs can't expel it, can't "eat" it. The fine microphage particles build up where they can't be expelled and your lung walls grow over them. Rinse, repeat. Anyone with enough exposure is done, it's a timebomb deal.

    I always have to shift people from the (aft) BACK to the bow area, to even out weight, just to be able to get UPpP & on plane when on my 24' BOAT !!! Combined, 4-5 people, may weigh 500-600 POUNDS, THIS boat is 3000 x 2000 = 6 MILLION pounds 🥴☹😥😂 IMAGINE trying to get that movin along 😂😥☹🥴😯🤣🤣👍

    А зачем лом привязан на лебедке? Чтоб не проехал? И что они достают из руды такое с ручками?
