@@codytyner8088 that was a good one too lol. My first video with Ricky that I ever saw was the one where they're talking about not showing up for free and that just let me down a rabbit hole of this amazing series 😎
Bringing the old one back unless lost and gone not forever so they can be looked at to agree they are done.for or if at home.or.lost. you get a.new one.but.a.rental till original ones are gotten or found
The safety man made ONE mistake. Should've capped off that statement with: "No I don't sign your paycheck, however I do talk with the people who do and it wouldn't be difficult for me to convince them that replacing you would be cheaper than OSHA fines and/or lawsuits."
it's funny because many companies are wising up and buying off OSHA employees or simply getting lawyers to fight the fines because the fines are more expensive than the legal fees (usually), and still fire the employee on top of that if they were a higher-paid one for a fresh one. Has happened to me and a lot of people at an RV manufacturer I worked for. Got an injury and want to see a doctor? Write an incident report explaining how it was YOUR (the employee's) fault you got injured even though you followed EVERY safety regulation on the site so we don't have to send you to a doctor. Can't go to OSHA for that cause the documentation will say different. Honestly just quit before something bad happens and find a better company because you don't want to be made to feel like you were responsible especially if it's REALLY fucking bad.
@@Rikkity a lot of that paperwork is purely to scare people, it doesn't actually have any legal sway. In my experience at the moment (in australia) most companies are recognising that its very quickly becoming cheaper to just up their prices to clients, and do things properly every time, avoid fines and incidents because those cause lost time, which loses contracts faster than increased prices (if you still do a good job, anyway).
And then Ricky realized that he could sue the company and get a massive payout if he got injured, so he did. 1 year later Ricky was wearing his eypatch that he did in fact look good in and tool room tommy was nowhere to be seen.
I never understood why the tool room is responsible for PPE. Always thought that safety man should be directly responsible for ordering and dispersing that stuff.
Any jobs I've been on it was safety man who has PPE. Current job they looked at me weird when I asked where the PPE was. I ended up at the supply house charging a box of glasses, earplugs, gloves, etc. When they asked I simply told them to fire me, if they weren't winning to provide the basics they weren't worth working for.
Thing is is the safety guy can write you up and if you get wrote up a certain number of times they can legally fire you. At least here in Minnesota anyhow
I dealt with a Toolroom Tommy on a job but it was a Karen. I just hired in and took a weld test, got it all done and cut straps and passed. I go to the tool room and ask for some gloves and ear plugs. First words out of her mouth when I asked for some gloves, where are your old ones you're not getting any until you give me your old ones. I hadn't even had the chance to explain that I had just hired in. She didn't even want give me any until the Superintendent just happened to walk up and he says this man just hired in get him his gloves so he can get to work. He's not doing me any good down here at the toolroom. Wasn't long ol girl got fired, like literally by the end of the shift she was fired for causing people such grief.
I've ran into Tommy before . Pulled the samething . So I ( On the clock ) went and bought a case of safety glasses . Then I gave the receipt to the bookkeeper . He had to deal with the person directly involved with his paycheck . She deducted it from his paycheck. For wasting company money .
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket hahahahahahahaAAA so is refusing to allow employees to fill out a accident report then firing them for getting their neck broke on the job . But it is profitable and money is more important than the Law . Just look at Washington DC .
I've never been more on safety nerd's side then I am now. Most of the stuff Ricky does is more personal irresponsibility or streamlining his job. This can get Tommy fired and the company sued if someone who isn't Ricky loses his glasses
Even if Ricky got hurt, the conversation would go like this: DoL / workmans comp: "Where you wearing all your PPE at the time of the incident?" Ricky: "No" WC: "Why not?" Ricky: "cause Toolroom Tommy wouldnt give them to me."
My safety man would hear the tool guy refuse to give safety glasses and would teleport to the office and back with the boss. He wouldnt have even talked to Tommy.
In every steel factory I've worked in glasses were in vending machinea and we just grabbed them as we needed them (no charge) they didn't care if you grabbed a new pair every week
@@lilithlux8127 I mean, makes sense. You don't want to argue, that's not your job, nor is it your job to train them, nor do you hold chain of command over them. The boss will come down and tell him what needs to happen as his superior.
@@deusvult6920 same at amazon. visibility vest, gloves, box cutters even off brand advil, if for some reason you used more than the week "allowance" any manager or supervisor would grab you a pair. Hated working there but that was atleast one good thing they did.
It would be a great ending and give the safety man a badass moment, he deserves one every once in a while. I kind of see him as one of the guys that knows a lot of the rules of the company. Will love to see a part 2 of this.
The correct response, but misses both the punchline and the level of actual care safety man has for his crew when he gives up his own pair to get Ricky what he needs to work safely.
You know what else bankrupts companies? OSHA fines for not providing basic ppe, especially if it contributed to injuries. The skit is funny as always, but kidding aside, there are two types of companies, the ones where Tommy wins this argument, and the ones where the safety guy does. You want to work for that one. Yeah PPE can be a nuisance sometimes but I'd rather work for a company pushing it, than one withholding it. I can honestly say where I work, Tommy wouldn't have gotten two or three sentences into his argument before safety man left, and department head (who does determine if Tommy gets paid) showed up to bid him farewell. Edit: Ricky has driven safety man to a therapist 🤣!
The company I worked for would give you X amount of pairs for free, like 2-3, but charge you for any more than that if you didn't bring the old ones back
PPE is actually a good thing. Imagine my dumbass catching a cheek full of blue-hot swarf not 6 hours after completing my yearly H&S training and nearly losing an eye. Dont be a dumbass people, you can have a goggled eye or a googly eye. Choose the former
So true!! I’ve worked for both types and run my own company now. My truck alway has PPE for everyone on site with lots of extras ( no boots ) I’ve got probably 8 spare hard hats that have never been touched, it’s cheaper for me to provide it. The law here requires you to pay the employee for the remainder of the day if they injure themselves at work. My lowest paid helper makes $20 per hour, one pair of eye pro cost $2, PPE is my cheapest overhead by far. Safety is still 3rd but everyone has to go home basically how they showed up.
Man, worked with a toolroom Tommy a few times. His job in my new gig has been replaced by a giant Toolbox with a swipe card on it. Its improved life infinitely
@@preston3698 damn things are always breaking or the Fastenal man not taking the time to check the welding machine to make sure it's stocked because It's rarely emptied. took a month for my supervisor to get ahold of them to restock it with gloves and other PPE after we emptied it out when me and the other welder trained the rest of the department to weld.
The correct response from the safety man when Tommy asked if he had anything to do with his paycheck would be along the lines "Yes, in the sense that I can help make your paychecks stop." Love the skits and always look forward to the next one!
Exactly, i was more in line with , "I see, I will be back in half an hour ," go to the break room write the man up about PPE then have ricky sign including anyone else missing safety gear that day go back in and have the man sign off on his refusal to employ safety gear at work when asked by his Peers. " Like I said earlier easy peasy.
Damn and here I was hoping we'd get to see Safety Man finally grow a pair. The way that I had hoped that conversation would have gone is, "Next? No let me tell you what's gonna happen next. I'm gonna talk to Ricky and get this incident on file, and then I'm gonna talk to all the other guys on the site and get every single similar incident I can. Then I'm going to compile all that together and send it to OSHA and the Department of Labor. And then when they are done running an Eiffel Tower on our budget for this job, you can explain to the owners how it was less expensive to pay the thousands in legal fees and tens of thousands in fines than it was to give Ricky some fucking safety glasses."
I mean, if Safety Man made a complaint to the higher ups about Tommy not giving out legally required PPE, and points out how much getting sued out the ass by an injured employee would cost them, I'm pretty sure he'd get written up at least, and fired for sure if he continues not doing it. So yeah, in a way safety Man DOES have something to do with ol' Big T's paycheck. Also, good on Safety Man trading in his own glasses for Ricky. He may get treated like the villain a lot of the time, but he really does care.
He's trying to save the company money by not giving out safety equipment but if somebody gets hurt all the money he saved and more will be spent because of that injury
@@irishwristwatch2487 tool room Tommy is just doing what he's told to do by the company. If the company gets sued because of these rules than the higher ups have the authority to change them
When Roscoe vs. Tool Room Tommy comes around I see it going something like this: Roscoe walks in with Western shoot out music playing; we hear the clinking of spurs as he does. Tommy stand up taller, straightens his shoulders and then they stare at each other. After about 10 seconds Roscoe says, "we doing this again, whippersnapper?" Tommy replies, "everytime, old man" Silent staring for 20 seconds Then they both look around and Ricky and The Safety Man hightail it out of the Tool Room. When it is just them two left in the room. They laugh and both pull out a flask and spend the rest of the day shit talking everybody else. Boss man comes in eventually and at that moment *only* sees a proper exchange of goods and says to both, "see I don't know why it is so darn hard for the rest of them to just do the job right, y'all take an extra 5 to relax or something. In fact. Lunch is on me today. Tommy go ahead and lock up the Tool Room and hop in the truck." ...2 hours later... Ricky standing at the locked Tool Room door going, "where the fuck does he go everyday? I need a new blade for my cutter."
There is a 50-50 chance I'd just hit someone if they said I couldn't get a pair of safety glasses when I need them. The other 50 I'd just sit around in the break room not working and make my supervisor deal with it. It would all depend on my mood and how much I care about getting that particular project done.
If they don't give you the safety glasses they could be fired. If you slap the s*** out of them you could be fired. I say leave the bomb in their home court and let them think they have that advantage
Threatening your supervisor with a potential OSHA voliation seams alot easier. Granted I'm little more than a office bound engineer. But whenever I mention OSHA to a supervisor I always get my way.
Tool room Tommy is literally the store clerks at the plant I work at.... They denied me for gloves that I needed(required PPE in my plant) and I had to go get my shift leader to go down to the store and scream at the clerk to give me the damn gloves or hes not getting paid that day or for the next 30 days. Then I had another incident in which my shift leader and group leader also had to make the clerk give me 3 brooms and 3 dust pans. "All you're going to do is lose them, plus how many people on your team are actually going to use them" his exact words. My bosses were not happy at all because we literally had an audit coming up and we're required to have cleaning utensils at every station. What I don't understand is that the store people don't even work for management or corporate, they're union just like us on the line. Why would they care about managing company inventory or making sure company money gets saved wherever possible?
@@OtterTreySSArmy "why would they care about managing company inventory or making sure company money gets saved wherever possible" some jackass in management told him "hey dude, help me get these costs cut and I'll find a nice cushy supervisor position for you to have" and Tommy the tool room man aint never had someone open a door of opportunity for him like that so he thinks this is his big chance. little does he know that management makes this kind of fucking offer to everyone eventually if they stay employed long enough. and they never deliver. they just find some mistake you made and fire you over it before your first day at the 'cushy supervisor job"
@@fangorn23 idk what the case is but like in our plant, production management and material management(who aren't on the same team badically, they're more or less independent entities) absolutely hate eachother. Production's opinion is "whatever expense you have so long as it's justified, well pay it, just get it done. If you need it to do your job, we'll get it for you" and material is the complete opposite. Production management is always screaming at material management about us in production not getting the things we need to actually run the line. Whether it be gloves, replacement tools, or even just the parts that we assemble on our product. I have a gun on my team that will occasionally break its bits and the animosity between material and production rears its ugly head. It's so bad to the point where our shift supervisor(so this is someone fairly high on the corporate ladder) had to go back to the store personally and pull some management override nonsense to simply get us those replacement bits because they won't give them to us. Our shift supervisor literally has to keep a zip lock bag full of 10mm bits in his cabinet under lock and key because of how annoying the store clerks are about that kind of thing.
FINALLY the Safety Prick vs. Tool Room Tommy has come, and it did not disappoint. Twice the usual length of your videos too, that's how I knew this was gon' be gud!
Ricky: "I've never seen anybody beat toolroom Tommy." NOT TRUE! Ricky was standing there when Roscoe came in and told Tommy "gimme some damned gloves!" and Tommy gave them to him because Tommy figured Roscoe would beat his ass if he didn't. That's why Roscoe RULES on the jobsite!
@FATEd Pondera That's why I love Roscoe's line in the video about how much it costs to be an a-hole. "Have as much attitude as you have the ability to fight."
I've had this argument with the tool room person before and i record it too so i have proof. basically I tell them what's more expensive, $2 for safety glasses ir a multi-million-dollar lawsuit when I injure my eye and your job because you won't give me safety glasses. I get what i want or i dont work on the clock.
Shit that’s retirement right there, you got a recording talk to the boss and if they send you back without glasses retirement is right around the corner
"There's no more safety-conscious rule than to wear these- your safety mcglarsses. That way, when your arm gets chopped off, at least the safety guy can see you have safety glasses on." -Uncle Bumblefuck
I have heard it said many times that you can’t put a price on Safety. Fortunately I retired from a company that believes this and we never had problems with Tool Room Tommy when it came to our PPE. Loved the Safety Man calling him Big T, that was a great line. 😎👍🏻
I mean, a lot of times you actually can put price tags on safety, the reasons are enumerated and fees listed and if not directly listed you can usually pull up court cases where rulings cast. The numbers are usually... very big.
Honestly I think they're all hilarious, we all need humor like this in our lives everyday just to keep us pushing forward. If this guy's ever in Florida I'd sure like to go hang out with him and have a beer too I could give him some material to work with that would blow his mind. Peace out.
My Favorite "Material". Deconstruction in a Refinery. Needed a Ladder to remove some Pipes. Wasnt allowed a Ladder by the Safety Guy. 2 Weeks later he infomrs me "I have good News, you are now allowed to work on the Ladder IF you have BOTH HANDS on the Ladder." You see the Problem there? That was shortly followed by me getting told that i need a Harness to work on the 2 steps ladder. There is no pack of Rope on those Harnesses short enough for that fall and without Rope Pack it wasnt allowed to be used.
@@hotrod9873 industrial deconstruction. Basically anything that's worth some we get and after us the wrecking ball. And ofc asbestos removal and such "fun". From refinery to Bayer complex to companies that use chemicals to get the bit of gold out of your grandpa's fake tooth. Ohh and once a F1 motor testing complex...... Almost as good as the Pfizer one. There I stood ankle deep in viagra pills. All over the plant floor.
I used to work for this painting company out of Cincinnati. They were really good with PPE. Many of my coworkers took advantage. That aggravated me. The company shut down now. I can honestly say they were really good people to work for.
Our tool room guy got fired for giving out non rated hard hats because they got raises based on the amount they save the company when they make the purchase orders at the end of the year if they find cheaper alternatives through different accredited companies.. this dude got his manager to approve the hard hats by faking the certs on the paperwork they give for approval.. some guy got his head split open when a rock fell off a bucket and boopsd hin on his nugget.. they looked at the helmet for workers comp reasons because the osha is there just for that shit but the dude sued the company and ended up winning from the shit.. was a whole big thing, had a mid day meeting with all personnel.. was horrible, all those fuckers in one doublewide mid day.. could have at least done it first thing one day..
@@if7723 there's a lot of negative incentives in life. It's up to everyone individually choose to pursue them. I'd say in this example this would be malevolence.
Somehow I knew the safety man was going to have to give up his own glasses. It was the only way it was going to end. He really needs to speak to the higher ups about that. Also, he could have pointed out that it costs the company more if someone can not work, and even more if they get injured. If someone gets injured it may be the quickest way to close down the business too.
Well, well, well, Safety Man , there's a robotic vending machine accessed via employee PIN that makes your position obsolete, and holds irresponsible workers accountable for losing gear. They put one in at the foundry but everyone immediately forgot the PIN, and had to get an office worker with a key anyway.
😆 We had that too, everyone has the boss's kids pin numbers, also when people get fired or retire their pin # still works! We usually walk up to the machine and say, "Cody's Treat !! Who wants what??!!" (Cody is a bosses son)
I had a situation with a tool room guy like this he didn't want to give me a pair of gloves because I didn't have the old pair to give him. The thing was I had only been at that job for 3 days and when I started I had my own gloves; I was not about to give him gloves that I bought and paid for in exchange for gloves that they were legally supposed to provide for me. When I told him he could have my gloves for $15.75 and a new pair he threatened to get me fired. When my boss who is also the person that got me the job to begin with got to the tool room he thoroughly chewed that toolman's ass up one side and down the other and by the end of the week I was running the tool room.
I am putting in a formal request to have a part 2 of this. Tool room Tommy and the safety man going at it are hilarious. We need to see one where upper management gets involved somehow
As a Safety Manager and certified member of the BCSP, I love these videos. I share them far and wide and am even considering playing them at my next mandatory safety seminar. Keep them coming brother, they brighten my days when I need a break from writing up the report on the latest safety incident involving a forklift...
You know, id imagine a high profile lawsuit because of someone not being able to get PPE and getting hurt on site would cost a hell of a lot more than to replace some safety glasses and vests that go missing.
I feel lucky to work for a company who legitimately seems to care for my safety. I was in a company run training course out of state and when asked why I wasn't wearing my safety glasses, I said it was because they were a bit old and cloudy so it was hard to see through them. Guy reaches into his pocket and hands me two brand new pairs. "They're like a dollar man, your eyes cost way more" and walks off. Thanks, Safety Dave
Hahaha! Everyone last time was like "Go get the Safety Guy!", "The Safety Guy will make him....". THAT'S A NEGATIVE CAPTAIN! You can't mess with someone who prefers to be locked in a cage!!!!!
I'd have just reached over and taken what I needed. Done it plenty of times. Picked the locks to the tool storage, too. It's a wonder I haven't been fired, honestly. I think my boss low key finds my shenanigans entertaining. Only thing I can think of.
Damned I know I didn’t work the phone lines for long, but these videos are always on point. The alternative scenario is when you put in the order for replacement PPE and the company just straight doesn’t send it. They will pull every excuse not to give you anything, but they will leave the order open and just say they can’t work you in. I was supposed to have prescription safety glasses but the company wouldn’t schedule for me to see their optometrist to get the process started. Luckily I had just done my yearly check up and I handed my supervisor my signed prescription and he put in the order himself. Had to dip out about six months ago cause some jack wagon rear ended my van at a stop light and the company said I should have done something to prevent the accident despite not being at fault according to the law. And about a month ago one of my buddies called me to let me know my safety glasses had come in and they had sent about 20 pairs that no one can use cause they’re all set to my prescription. So it took them over a year to get my shit shipped in, and I don’t even work there anymore. Corporate is somethin’.
If you're ever in Texas I'd be happy to show ya some of this lineman work we got going on. Beefing up the whole grid electric and communication lines. Pole transfers. Plant extensions. Etc. Just come on dow to DFW boss man

You wouldn't think so but we have very similar rules in retail. If I want to get a new vest working at the Lowe's home improvement warehouse I must first in front of the guy take my box cutter and cut my old vest from neck to bottom I have to slice through the back and once they are sure I have destroyed it may I get a new one
Tool room tommy has got to be my favorite I'm electrical engineer for remington firearms and been in industrial maintenance all my life and every tool man I have incountered is a tool room tommy keel it up brother and God bless
Wow, I'm on track to becoming tool-room Tommy at FedEx soon. I was just recently promoted to be an admin from a package handler back in March and I handle equipment and address corrections. We are about to switch locations to a much bigger one and I was told my new responsibilities will be scanning out equipment to the managers and their work areas. We're talking $500-$600 scanners and label-makers, $10-$15 armbands to hold them, clips for badges, vests, glasses, lanyards and so on. My responsibilities will be to inventory the equipment and place it in a box, scan the box and a manager's badge so we can track which manager and which work area the equipment will go to, and when the manager brings the equipment back and I scan it back in, inventory it at the end of the day to make sure nothing is missing (particularly the expensive stuff). I have a feeling I'll have to be as much of a stickler as Tool-Room Tommy is just to do my job effectively. I also have a feeling that most of the requests for equipment will be the smaller stuff like glasses, vests and so on.
In this situation at my job only gloves are a concern lol. We use them to touch just about anything and everything and believe me when I say they do get destroyed. Roughly every 3-6 months depending on the amount of action they see as not all tasks require you to have to use them. Every other piece of safety equipment they are fine with passing out. We also have specialty equipment like chainsaws that we wear a special piece of PPE called chaps to protect our legs (rarely operated) those have to be turned in at the end of each job they go out on to ensure that they are their for the next job. We also have ear plugs for any kind of jobs where noise is an issue. Besides that as it is apart of our uniform we have to wear steel toe boot. I have a pair of steel toe shoes as they are for wearhouse work.
Anyone a fan of Canadian Hockey? Y'all remember Doug Lecouyer or w.e, played for the Winnipeg Jets. He was the toolroom Tommy at our shop. Making us use old ass used bolts with messed up threads and cut discs when they were way too small. Except he was like 70 and thought he could work...
I got a write up at my old job for not wearing safety glasses (They were provided but not the type to go over prescription lenses) I made the point of that when I fought it with the supervisor. He promptly ordered a dozen pairs and had them in stock at all times.
At my company, we charge for gloves and glasses if they don't have the old ones. Depending on how often someone comes in without returning old pairs will depend on if they are charged or not. It's a good way to teach responsibility.
I used to do this. My title was Tool Issue Room Custodian. I was certainly a dictator, especially when it came to extension cords. The room's only door was one of those doors that was split in two, so the top had a lock and the bottom had a lock so the top could open to give out tools. Adjusted the locks one day and put the top lock on the outside and kept the bottom one inside, so if you're walking there it would look like the room is locked and I'm gone. Nope. Was in there half naked taking naps. Slept 4 hours straight one night. No work got done. Didn't even get fired. Good naps.
Man you get this shit so perfect. This one is funnier this way, but we both know Tommy would gaslight Ricky TF up by handing Safety guy whatever he asked for without signing a chit, and then fucking him over
Oh God does this remind me of a place I worked at. Safety was their middle name and I was totally annoyed at how petty they were about "safety." It was ridiculous, you couldn't even have a box cutter. No hammers, cause you might whack your fingers, at least that's what the plant manager said, and when he asked me if I could use a hammer without smacking my fingers, I told him yes. He stood there and said "well everytime I use one I hit myself with it..." oh all kinds of retorts went thru my mind but I was too busy trying not to laugh.
I worked at a tank and vessel place before. You had to show your old gloves, glasses, etc. Sanding discs and such all had to be recorded on daily Expendables log and labeled with job number to charge proper job. Grinding discs. Wire. Gas. One guy got fed up and recorded bandaids, aspirins, and water and cups. Ear plugs were at the time clock. They wanted you to keep a pair a few days but everyone used them once. Dust masks, you had cheap ones for most applications. The good ones had a a little breathing port and better nose contact. They really didn't like handing those out. Paint markers and soap stones another hot item. The big sanding pads were cut down for the 4 inch grinders. So the tool room tommy is everywhere.
I was looking for the glasses at the end because I have been in *EXACTLY* that situation and that's what I had to do. 🤣🤣🤣 Pro tip: there is always an old beat up pair in the parking lot. Start looking around the scalehouse/gatehouse if you have one.
“I’ll save them until that old man Roscoe rolls on by. He’s always wantin’ them readers.” That had me rolling. This stuff is like all the stupid stuff happening at my job.
Been in this position before. Several times. Best thing to do is just cut the back story. Bureaucrats don’t need to know that outside of curiosity. And just say lost/stolen and needs a replacement. There is almost always procedures for lost/stolen essential equipment. Safety glasses. Laptops. Etc. if a user needs it for their job. Then it’s other peoples job to make sure you can do yours. Else there will be hell to pay when the inspection comes
Dude you seriously are a full blown genius. You have done, with mostly your own energy and no dollars, which hollywood wishes they could do with $10million
I actually worked for a company like this, safety guy was doing the same thing because he was putting the money into the company softball team instead of the actual ppe i never got a brand new piece of PPE. Glasses scratched, harnesses 10 years old, hard hat used. Guy drove a lifted dodge everywhere too. Had no safety glasses on the shelf to replace with either
I have a delivery at a oil refinery for ups and the safety guy and the tool room guy would do this since I needed safety glasses and a helmet to deliver to the warehouse but wouldn't let me have have one since I didn't have old ones to turn in. Eventually it got so bad they moved the warehouse across the street so they could get their warehouse deliveries
I'm having the worst months of My intire Life! I tell ya what this makes my Day every Day. Thing couldn't be worse but this brightens those bad moments.

The safety man made ONE mistake. Should've capped off that statement with:
"No I don't sign your paycheck, however I do talk with the people who do and it wouldn't be difficult for me to convince them that replacing you would be cheaper than OSHA fines and/or lawsuits."
Yep.
as an ex fire extinguisher guy i said do you want a fine or do you want this done right?
Gotta make sure the employees know what OSHA is in the first place, but alright. These MF's cant even comunicate with HR right...
it's funny because many companies are wising up and buying off OSHA employees or simply getting lawyers to fight the fines because the fines are more expensive than the legal fees (usually), and still fire the employee on top of that if they were a higher-paid one for a fresh one. Has happened to me and a lot of people at an RV manufacturer I worked for. Got an injury and want to see a doctor? Write an incident report explaining how it was YOUR (the employee's) fault you got injured even though you followed EVERY safety regulation on the site so we don't have to send you to a doctor. Can't go to OSHA for that cause the documentation will say different.
Honestly just quit before something bad happens and find a better company because you don't want to be made to feel like you were responsible especially if it's REALLY fucking bad.

Safety man pay bigger than tool room Tommy's.. that's why..
Any jobs I've been on it was safety man who has PPE.
Current job they looked at me weird when I asked where the PPE was. I ended up at the supply house charging a box of glasses, earplugs, gloves, etc.
When they asked I simply told them to fire me, if they weren't winning to provide the basics they weren't worth working for.
Gotta work for a place that has a dedicated storeroom
How the Safety Man let's an employee shut him down about anything dealing with Safety? That Tool Room Tommy is Savage...
Yes He Is 🤣
Every tool room men are the same
@@Stuff_said_ Yes Sad But You are So Right about This
Thing is is the safety guy can write you up and if you get wrote up a certain number of times they can legally fire you. At least here in Minnesota anyhow
@@darinkrinovich2062 yes 😃
I think we can all agree that Tool Room Tommy is the most hated character of Breadstick Ricky & The Boss.
I think the old Immigration agent was the most hated back in the day. Gotta save Pablo!!!
@@AngealHewley88 I forgot about that one. 😆
It’s a tie between I.C.E. & Tool Room Tommy. But Safety Man needs to man up against Tommy 😂😂😂
A new villain has entered the stage
Safety man at least has good intentions because he wants to keep everyone safe. Tool Room Tommy is just a dick.
I dealt with a Toolroom Tommy on a job but it was a Karen. I just hired in and took a weld test, got it all done and cut straps and passed. I go to the tool room and ask for some gloves and ear plugs. First words out of her mouth when I asked for some gloves, where are your old ones you're not getting any until you give me your old ones. I hadn't even had the chance to explain that I had just hired in. She didn't even want give me any until the Superintendent just happened to walk up and he says this man just hired in get him his gloves so he can get to work. He's not doing me any good down here at the toolroom. Wasn't long ol girl got fired, like literally by the end of the shift she was fired for causing people such grief.
I've ran into Tommy before .
Pulled the samething . So I
( On the clock ) went and bought a case of safety glasses .
Then I gave the receipt to the bookkeeper .
He had to deal with the person directly involved with his paycheck .
She deducted it from his paycheck.
For wasting company money .
Malicious compliance, I love it.
I love vindictive justice.
That's absolutely delightful. I'm grinning just imagining the look on that idjit's face when he realized how thoroughly he'd f@$ed himself.
I hope it was so fucking expensive that maxed out your credit card. Sit that fucker with the bill.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket hahahahahahahaAAA so is refusing to allow employees to fill out a accident report then firing them for getting their neck broke on the job .
But it is profitable and money is more important than the Law .
Just look at Washington DC .
I've never been more on safety nerd's side then I am now. Most of the stuff Ricky does is more personal irresponsibility or streamlining his job. This can get Tommy fired and the company sued if someone who isn't Ricky loses his glasses
Even if Ricky got hurt, the conversation would go like this:
DoL / workmans comp: "Where you wearing all your PPE at the time of the incident?"
Ricky: "No"
WC: "Why not?"
Ricky: "cause Toolroom Tommy wouldnt give them to me."
My safety man would hear the tool guy refuse to give safety glasses and would teleport to the office and back with the boss. He wouldnt have even talked to Tommy.
In every steel factory I've worked in glasses were in vending machinea and we just grabbed them as we needed them (no charge) they didn't care if you grabbed a new pair every week
@@lilithlux8127 I mean, makes sense. You don't want to argue, that's not your job, nor is it your job to train them, nor do you hold chain of command over them. The boss will come down and tell him what needs to happen as his superior.
@@deusvult6920 same at amazon. visibility vest, gloves, box cutters even off brand advil, if for some reason you used more than the week "allowance" any manager or supervisor would grab you a pair. Hated working there but that was atleast one good thing they did.
Final response should have been “i dont sign your checks but i can easily have it put to zero when you are fired for saftey violations” XD
It would be a great ending and give the safety man a badass moment, he deserves one every once in a while.
I kind of see him as one of the guys that knows a lot of the rules of the company. Will love to see a part 2 of this.
The correct response, but misses both the punchline and the level of actual care safety man has for his crew when he gives up his own pair to get Ricky what he needs to work safely.
@@caniscerulean fair point. Take my up vote.
@@caniscerulean I feel it would have been a better punchline and still retained the care aspect while impressing Ricky even more
You know what else bankrupts companies? OSHA fines for not providing basic ppe, especially if it contributed to injuries.
The skit is funny as always, but kidding aside, there are two types of companies, the ones where Tommy wins this argument, and the ones where the safety guy does. You want to work for that one. Yeah PPE can be a nuisance sometimes but I'd rather work for a company pushing it, than one withholding it. I can honestly say where I work, Tommy wouldn't have gotten two or three sentences into his argument before safety man left, and department head (who does determine if Tommy gets paid) showed up to bid him farewell.
Edit: Ricky has driven safety man to a therapist 🤣!
yea, I fully expected safety man's response to the paycheck question to be "no, but I can make them stop".
This. Big time.
The company I worked for would give you X amount of pairs for free, like 2-3, but charge you for any more than that if you didn't bring the old ones back
PPE is actually a good thing. Imagine my dumbass catching a cheek full of blue-hot swarf not 6 hours after completing my yearly H&S training and nearly losing an eye. Dont be a dumbass people, you can have a goggled eye or a googly eye. Choose the former
So true!! I’ve worked for both types and run my own company now. My truck alway has PPE for everyone on site with lots of extras ( no boots ) I’ve got probably 8 spare hard hats that have never been touched, it’s cheaper for me to provide it. The law here requires you to pay the employee for the remainder of the day if they injure themselves at work. My lowest paid helper makes $20 per hour, one pair of eye pro cost $2, PPE is my cheapest overhead by far. Safety is still 3rd but everyone has to go home basically how they showed up.
Man, worked with a toolroom Tommy a few times. His job in my new gig has been replaced by a giant Toolbox with a swipe card on it. Its improved life infinitely
Yep they did that where i was too a damn vending machine with tools in it
@@preston3698 damn things are always breaking or the Fastenal man not taking the time to check the welding machine to make sure it's stocked because It's rarely emptied. took a month for my supervisor to get ahold of them to restock it with gloves and other PPE after we emptied it out when me and the other welder trained the rest of the department to weld.
@@mewmewdesigns895 isn't that the truth by the end of the month there ain't shit in it
The correct response from the safety man when Tommy asked if he had anything to do with his paycheck would be along the lines "Yes, in the sense that I can help make your paychecks stop." Love the skits and always look forward to the next one!
Exactly, i was more in line with , "I see, I will be back in half an hour ," go to the break room write the man up about PPE then have ricky sign including anyone else missing safety gear that day go back in and have the man sign off on his refusal to employ safety gear at work when asked by his Peers. " Like I said earlier easy peasy.
Yeah I'm actually surprised that's not where it went. What the hell, bossman?
I was expecting the answer to be "Well, as a matter of fact, I can lower your paycheck to, oh, what's unemployment go for nowadays?"
Exactly well said.
@@Lenoh it's fired for gross misconduct, you don't get unemployment after that
Damn and here I was hoping we'd get to see Safety Man finally grow a pair. The way that I had hoped that conversation would have gone is,
"Next? No let me tell you what's gonna happen next. I'm gonna talk to Ricky and get this incident on file, and then I'm gonna talk to all the other guys on the site and get every single similar incident I can. Then I'm going to compile all that together and send it to OSHA and the Department of Labor. And then when they are done running an Eiffel Tower on our budget for this job, you can explain to the owners how it was less expensive to pay the thousands in legal fees and tens of thousands in fines than it was to give Ricky some fucking safety glasses."
"With investigative skills like that you should have been a detective."
He probably was.
Safety man is a cush retirement gig for alot of cops.
Man, the safety man at my company has a line straight to the owner. He can colossally fuck up your day.
I mean, if Safety Man made a complaint to the higher ups about Tommy not giving out legally required PPE, and points out how much getting sued out the ass by an injured employee would cost them, I'm pretty sure he'd get written up at least, and fired for sure if he continues not doing it. So yeah, in a way safety Man DOES have something to do with ol' Big T's paycheck.
Also, good on Safety Man trading in his own glasses for Ricky. He may get treated like the villain a lot of the time, but he really does care.
He's trying to save the company money by not giving out safety equipment but if somebody gets hurt all the money he saved and more will be spent because of that injury
Safety man is a pain in the hole but a necessary evil. Toolroom Tommy is just the hole
Don't even need to be sued just need one workers comp case for medical.
@@irishwristwatch2487 tool room Tommy is just doing what he's told to do by the company. If the company gets sued because of these rules than the higher ups have the authority to change them
@@petelee2477 yep.
When Roscoe vs. Tool Room Tommy comes around I see it going something like this:
Roscoe walks in with Western shoot out music playing; we hear the clinking of spurs as he does.
Tommy stand up taller, straightens his shoulders and then they stare at each other.
After about 10 seconds Roscoe says, "we doing this again, whippersnapper?"
Tommy replies, "everytime, old man"
Silent staring for 20 seconds
Then they both look around and Ricky and The Safety Man hightail it out of the Tool Room.
When it is just them two left in the room. They laugh and both pull out a flask and spend the rest of the day shit talking everybody else.
Boss man comes in eventually and at that moment *only* sees a proper exchange of goods and says to both, "see I don't know why it is so darn hard for the rest of them to just do the job right, y'all take an extra 5 to relax or something. In fact. Lunch is on me today. Tommy go ahead and lock up the Tool Room and hop in the truck."
...2 hours later...
Ricky standing at the locked Tool Room door going, "where the fuck does he go everyday? I need a new blade for my cutter."
We’ve already seen Tool Room Tommy vs Roscoe, and Tommy is scared of Roscoe because Roscoe ain’t afraid to climb over the counter and beat his ass.
@@blainedonahue8974 a cover story for the camera :p
There is a 50-50 chance I'd just hit someone if they said I couldn't get a pair of safety glasses when I need them. The other 50 I'd just sit around in the break room not working and make my supervisor deal with it. It would all depend on my mood and how much I care about getting that particular project done.
If they don't give you the safety glasses they could be fired. If you slap the s*** out of them you could be fired. I say leave the bomb in their home court and let them think they have that advantage
Threatening your supervisor with a potential OSHA voliation seams alot easier. Granted I'm little more than a office bound engineer. But whenever I mention OSHA to a supervisor I always get my way.
Breadstick Ricky is a breathing metaphor for thousands of factory employees who openly don't care. I feel as though I know him personally...
Tool room Tommy is literally the store clerks at the plant I work at....
They denied me for gloves that I needed(required PPE in my plant) and I had to go get my shift leader to go down to the store and scream at the clerk to give me the damn gloves or hes not getting paid that day or for the next 30 days.
Then I had another incident in which my shift leader and group leader also had to make the clerk give me 3 brooms and 3 dust pans. "All you're going to do is lose them, plus how many people on your team are actually going to use them" his exact words. My bosses were not happy at all because we literally had an audit coming up and we're required to have cleaning utensils at every station.
What I don't understand is that the store people don't even work for management or corporate, they're union just like us on the line. Why would they care about managing company inventory or making sure company money gets saved wherever possible?
@@OtterTreySSArmy "why would they care about managing company inventory or making sure company money gets saved wherever possible"
some jackass in management told him "hey dude, help me get these costs cut and I'll find a nice cushy supervisor position for you to have" and Tommy the tool room man aint never had someone open a door of opportunity for him like that so he thinks this is his big chance.
little does he know that management makes this kind of fucking offer to everyone eventually if they stay employed long enough. and they never deliver. they just find some mistake you made and fire you over it before your first day at the 'cushy supervisor job"
@@fangorn23 idk what the case is but like in our plant, production management and material management(who aren't on the same team badically, they're more or less independent entities) absolutely hate eachother. Production's opinion is "whatever expense you have so long as it's justified, well pay it, just get it done. If you need it to do your job, we'll get it for you" and material is the complete opposite.
Production management is always screaming at material management about us in production not getting the things we need to actually run the line. Whether it be gloves, replacement tools, or even just the parts that we assemble on our product.
I have a gun on my team that will occasionally break its bits and the animosity between material and production rears its ugly head. It's so bad to the point where our shift supervisor(so this is someone fairly high on the corporate ladder) had to go back to the store personally and pull some management override nonsense to simply get us those replacement bits because they won't give them to us. Our shift supervisor literally has to keep a zip lock bag full of 10mm bits in his cabinet under lock and key because of how annoying the store clerks are about that kind of thing.
@@OtterTreySSArmy did the store clerks secretly marry those 10mm bits? fucken hell
still a better love story than twilight.
After awhile you don't. You just need a check
FINALLY the Safety Prick vs. Tool Room Tommy has come, and it did not disappoint. Twice the usual length of your videos too, that's how I knew this was gon' be gud!
Ricky: "I've never seen anybody beat toolroom Tommy."
NOT TRUE! Ricky was standing there when Roscoe came in and told Tommy "gimme some damned gloves!" and Tommy gave them to him because Tommy figured Roscoe would beat his ass if he didn't.
That's why Roscoe RULES on the jobsite!
Yep.
@FATEd Pondera yep;
@FATEd Pondera That's why I love Roscoe's line in the video about how much it costs to be an a-hole. "Have as much attitude as you have the ability to fight."
I've had this argument with the tool room person before and i record it too so i have proof. basically I tell them what's more expensive, $2 for safety glasses ir a multi-million-dollar lawsuit when I injure my eye and your job because you won't give me safety glasses.
I get what i want or i dont work on the clock.
Shit that’s retirement right there, you got a recording talk to the boss and if they send you back without glasses retirement is right around the corner
You can get a sick eye patch with that kinda cash
Not to mention the time arguing about it costs more than the damn $2 glasses
"There's no more safety-conscious rule than to wear these- your safety mcglarsses. That way, when your arm gets chopped off, at least the safety guy can see you have safety glasses on."
-Uncle Bumblefuck
Jumping over Dollars to save dimes Exactly how it goes...
Rosco vs safety man. Cannot wait. What can Rosco get him to do for his glasses back?
I have heard it said many times that you can’t put a price on Safety. Fortunately I retired from a company that believes this and we never had problems with Tool Room Tommy when it came to our PPE. Loved the Safety Man calling him Big T, that was a great line. 😎👍🏻
I mean, a lot of times you actually can put price tags on safety, the reasons are enumerated and fees listed and if not directly listed you can usually pull up court cases where rulings cast. The numbers are usually... very big.
Honestly I think they're all hilarious, we all need humor like this in our lives everyday just to keep us pushing forward. If this guy's ever in Florida I'd sure like to go hang out with him and have a beer too I could give him some material to work with that would blow his mind. Peace out.
My Favorite "Material".
Deconstruction in a Refinery. Needed a Ladder to remove some Pipes. Wasnt allowed a Ladder by the Safety Guy.
2 Weeks later he infomrs me "I have good News, you are now allowed to work on the Ladder IF you have BOTH HANDS on the Ladder."
You see the Problem there?
That was shortly followed by me getting told that i need a Harness to work on the 2 steps ladder. There is no pack of Rope on those Harnesses short enough for that fall and without Rope Pack it wasnt allowed to be used.

Ohh and once a F1 motor testing complex...... Almost as good as the Pfizer one. There I stood ankle deep in viagra pills. All over the plant floor.
I used to work for this painting company out of Cincinnati. They were really good with PPE. Many of my coworkers took advantage. That aggravated me. The company shut down now. I can honestly say they were really good people to work for.
Our tool room guy got fired for giving out non rated hard hats because they got raises based on the amount they save the company when they make the purchase orders at the end of the year if they find cheaper alternatives through different accredited companies.. this dude got his manager to approve the hard hats by faking the certs on the paperwork they give for approval.. some guy got his head split open when a rock fell off a bucket and boopsd hin on his nugget.. they looked at the helmet for workers comp reasons because the osha is there just for that shit but the dude sued the company and ended up winning from the shit.. was a whole big thing, had a mid day meeting with all personnel.. was horrible, all those fuckers in one doublewide mid day.. could have at least done it first thing one day..

“If you want to ruin your day before the sun comes up, then I’ll help ya.” 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣. Had me rolling.
Somehow I knew the safety man was going to have to give up his own glasses. It was the only way it was going to end. He really needs to speak to the higher ups about that. Also, he could have pointed out that it costs the company more if someone can not work, and even more if they get injured. If someone gets injured it may be the quickest way to close down the business too.
Well, well, well, Safety Man , there's a robotic vending machine accessed via employee PIN that makes your position obsolete, and holds irresponsible workers accountable for losing gear.
They put one in at the foundry but everyone immediately forgot the PIN, and had to get an office worker with a key anyway.
😆
We had that too, everyone has the boss's kids pin numbers, also when people get fired or retire their pin # still works! We usually walk up to the machine and say, "Cody's Treat !! Who wants what??!!" (Cody is a bosses son)
Sounds fun.
Safety man isn’t just responsible for PPE….you know that, right?
I had a situation with a tool room guy like this he didn't want to give me a pair of gloves because I didn't have the old pair to give him. The thing was I had only been at that job for 3 days and when I started I had my own gloves; I was not about to give him gloves that I bought and paid for in exchange for gloves that they were legally supposed to provide for me. When I told him he could have my gloves for $15.75 and a new pair he threatened to get me fired. When my boss who is also the person that got me the job to begin with got to the tool room he thoroughly chewed that toolman's ass up one side and down the other and by the end of the week I was running the tool room.
I am putting in a formal request to have a part 2 of this. Tool room Tommy and the safety man going at it are hilarious. We need to see one where upper management gets involved somehow
As a Safety Manager and certified member of the BCSP, I love these videos.
I share them far and wide and am even considering playing them at my next mandatory safety seminar.
Keep them coming brother, they brighten my days when I need a break from writing up the report on the latest safety incident involving a forklift...
You know, id imagine a high profile lawsuit because of someone not being able to get PPE and getting hurt on site would cost a hell of a lot more than to replace some safety glasses and vests that go missing.
After a year I ended up with around 30 safety glasses at my house from my last job. Shades for the next couple years haha
I feel lucky to work for a company who legitimately seems to care for my safety. I was in a company run training course out of state and when asked why I wasn't wearing my safety glasses, I said it was because they were a bit old and cloudy so it was hard to see through them. Guy reaches into his pocket and hands me two brand new pairs. "They're like a dollar man, your eyes cost way more" and walks off. Thanks, Safety Dave
It’s as though “The Office” and “Dilbert” had a love child! Keep up the great content!
Hahaha! Everyone last time was like "Go get the Safety Guy!", "The Safety Guy will make him....". THAT'S A NEGATIVE CAPTAIN! You can't mess with someone who prefers to be locked in a cage!!!!!
I'd have just reached over and taken what I needed. Done it plenty of times. Picked the locks to the tool storage, too. It's a wonder I haven't been fired, honestly. I think my boss low key finds my shenanigans entertaining. Only thing I can think of.
The deep down love of Ricky and the safety guy goes so deep they still wear the same shirt. 👕 Lol
Sounds like Tommy used to work at the DMV.
Damned I know I didn’t work the phone lines for long, but these videos are always on point. The alternative scenario is when you put in the order for replacement PPE and the company just straight doesn’t send it. They will pull every excuse not to give you anything, but they will leave the order open and just say they can’t work you in. I was supposed to have prescription safety glasses but the company wouldn’t schedule for me to see their optometrist to get the process started. Luckily I had just done my yearly check up and I handed my supervisor my signed prescription and he put in the order himself. Had to dip out about six months ago cause some jack wagon rear ended my van at a stop light and the company said I should have done something to prevent the accident despite not being at fault according to the law. And about a month ago one of my buddies called me to let me know my safety glasses had come in and they had sent about 20 pairs that no one can use cause they’re all set to my prescription. So it took them over a year to get my shit shipped in, and I don’t even work there anymore. Corporate is somethin’.
There is always one Tommy and a couple of Safety man at every company.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣Ricky is the worst employee ever! He is so freaking funny and adorable I absolutely would keep him around for company morale 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣.....
You owe me a paycheck, I'm out of work for medical reasons and I swear this video transported me to work.
Tool Room Tommy is tough🤣
This was the funniest skit ever! 🤣😂🤣😂 When Tommy started talking slow is what did it for me!
If you're ever in Texas I'd be happy to show ya some of this lineman work we got going on. Beefing up the whole grid electric and communication lines. Pole transfers. Plant extensions. Etc. Just come on dow to DFW boss man

You wouldn't think so but we have very similar rules in retail. If I want to get a new vest working at the Lowe's home improvement warehouse I must first in front of the guy take my box cutter and cut my old vest from neck to bottom I have to slice through the back and once they are sure I have destroyed it may I get a new one
Tool room tommy has got to be my favorite I'm electrical engineer for remington firearms and been in industrial maintenance all my life and every tool man I have incountered is a tool room tommy keel it up brother and God bless
Wow, I'm on track to becoming tool-room Tommy at FedEx soon. I was just recently promoted to be an admin from a package handler back in March and I handle equipment and address corrections. We are about to switch locations to a much bigger one and I was told my new responsibilities will be scanning out equipment to the managers and their work areas.
We're talking $500-$600 scanners and label-makers, $10-$15 armbands to hold them, clips for badges, vests, glasses, lanyards and so on. My responsibilities will be to inventory the equipment and place it in a box, scan the box and a manager's badge so we can track which manager and which work area the equipment will go to, and when the manager brings the equipment back and I scan it back in, inventory it at the end of the day to make sure nothing is missing (particularly the expensive stuff).
I have a feeling I'll have to be as much of a stickler as Tool-Room Tommy is just to do my job effectively. I also have a feeling that most of the requests for equipment will be the smaller stuff like glasses, vests and so on.
In this situation at my job only gloves are a concern lol.
We use them to touch just about anything and everything and believe me when I say they do get destroyed.
Roughly every 3-6 months depending on the amount of action they see as not all tasks require you to have to use them.
Every other piece of safety equipment they are fine with passing out.
We also have specialty equipment like chainsaws that we wear a special piece of PPE called chaps to protect our legs (rarely operated) those have to be turned in at the end of each job they go out on to ensure that they are their for the next job.
We also have ear plugs for any kind of jobs where noise is an issue. Besides that as it is apart of our uniform we have to wear steel toe boot. I have a pair of steel toe shoes as they are for wearhouse work.
i had a similar situation at my previous job, i quit eventually. i do miss the ER nurses.
This is exactly what equipment issue in the army is like. I’m glad to know it wasn’t just us.
How does returning old high visible vests, safety glasses gloves that may be unsafe get a worker new PPE???
Anyone a fan of Canadian Hockey? Y'all remember Doug Lecouyer or w.e, played for the Winnipeg Jets. He was the toolroom Tommy at our shop. Making us use old ass used bolts with messed up threads and cut discs when they were way too small. Except he was like 70 and thought he could work...
It's amazing how every character in these videos has the same gold chain.
Must have been a company bonus.
I got a write up at my old job for not wearing safety glasses (They were provided but not the type to go over prescription lenses) I made the point of that when I fought it with the supervisor. He promptly ordered a dozen pairs and had them in stock at all times.
I love it when reality imitates comedy. I'm surprised safety man didn't go get the boss man. Usually this goes up the chain.
Tommy seems to forget the safety man has the ear of those that sign his checks lol
At my company, we charge for gloves and glasses if they don't have the old ones. Depending on how often someone comes in without returning old pairs will depend on if they are charged or not. It's a good way to teach responsibility.
I used to do this. My title was Tool Issue Room Custodian. I was certainly a dictator, especially when it came to extension cords. The room's only door was one of those doors that was split in two, so the top had a lock and the bottom had a lock so the top could open to give out tools. Adjusted the locks one day and put the top lock on the outside and kept the bottom one inside, so if you're walking there it would look like the room is locked and I'm gone. Nope. Was in there half naked taking naps. Slept 4 hours straight one night. No work got done. Didn't even get fired. Good naps.
Man you get this shit so perfect. This one is funnier this way, but we both know Tommy would gaslight Ricky TF up by handing Safety guy whatever he asked for without signing a chit, and then fucking him over
If you’re not in any sort of manufacturing folks will never get the jokes outta of these videos!! Awesome bro
Oh God does this remind me of a place I worked at. Safety was their middle name and I was totally annoyed at how petty they were about "safety." It was ridiculous, you couldn't even have a box cutter. No hammers, cause you might whack your fingers, at least that's what the plant manager said, and when he asked me if I could use a hammer without smacking my fingers, I told him yes. He stood there and said "well everytime I use one I hit myself with it..." oh all kinds of retorts went thru my mind but I was too busy trying not to laugh.
I worked at a tank and vessel place before. You had to show your old gloves, glasses, etc. Sanding discs and such all had to be recorded on daily Expendables log and labeled with job number to charge proper job. Grinding discs. Wire. Gas. One guy got fed up and recorded bandaids, aspirins, and water and cups.
Ear plugs were at the time clock. They wanted you to keep a pair a few days but everyone used them once. Dust masks, you had cheap ones for most applications. The good ones had a a little breathing port and better nose contact. They really didn't like handing those out. Paint markers and soap stones another hot item. The big sanding pads were cut down for the 4 inch grinders.
So the tool room tommy is everywhere.
"If you wana ruin your day before the sun comes up I will fxckin help you let's go see Tommy" 🤣
This is one battle I would’ve loved to have seen safetyman win.
"Yes. I can control your paycheck. Safety violations can warrant disciplinary action including time off. So..."
You know the fact that we haven't really seen tool room Timmy in a while. Maybe safety man did do something.
high viz vests "if they want them" had me rolling 🤣
I was looking for the glasses at the end because I have been in *EXACTLY* that situation and that's what I had to do. 🤣🤣🤣
Pro tip: there is always an old beat up pair in the parking lot. Start looking around the scalehouse/gatehouse if you have one.
“I’ll save them until that old man Roscoe rolls on by. He’s always wantin’ them readers.” That had me rolling. This stuff is like all the stupid stuff happening at my job.

Working in manufacturing I absolutely love this stuff.
I love these skits. But I'm gonna keep it tall, Tool Room Tommy would be out of a job due to tire repair costs fuckin with me like that.
Safety Man VS "The Fat Electrician", you two would make a hilarious crossover
This is the realest depiction of a tool room I’ve ever seen.
Been in this position before. Several times. Best thing to do is just cut the back story. Bureaucrats don’t need to know that outside of curiosity. And just say lost/stolen and needs a replacement. There is almost always procedures for lost/stolen essential equipment. Safety glasses. Laptops. Etc. if a user needs it for their job. Then it’s other peoples job to make sure you can do yours. Else there will be hell to pay when the inspection comes
Safety Glasses are alot cheaper than a lawsuit for eye injuries!
Dude you seriously are a full blown genius. You have done, with mostly your own energy and no dollars, which hollywood wishes they could do with $10million
Why was this exactly like the boat yard I worked at? Lol miss it sometimes
I don't know if this video was for me that I requested but thank you and I will be sure to show my boss for some good laughs.😂
I actually worked for a company like this, safety guy was doing the same thing because he was putting the money into the company softball team instead of the actual ppe i never got a brand new piece of PPE. Glasses scratched, harnesses 10 years old, hard hat used. Guy drove a lifted dodge everywhere too. Had no safety glasses on the shelf to replace with either
I have a delivery at a oil refinery for ups and the safety guy and the tool room guy would do this since I needed safety glasses and a helmet to deliver to the warehouse but wouldn't let me have have one since I didn't have old ones to turn in. Eventually it got so bad they moved the warehouse across the street so they could get their warehouse deliveries
Ricky should've said to Tommy, "The only thing you're gonna get as a trade is a concussion now gimme my damn glasses!"
As a toolman i can totally relate. No problem handing out PPE but there are some coworkers who really took advantage.
They need to make this channel into a sitcom..
I'm having the worst months of My intire Life! I tell ya what this makes my Day every Day. Thing couldn't be worse but this brightens those bad moments.
I’m crying because i have been in This situation a few Times taken of. My hood glasses go flying in to the grate beyond
I really like it when upper management tells the safety guy "hey stay out of this area just for today "
We call em "cheaters" on our safety glasses.
