Man, makes me appreciate the CEO of my company. He got called out by some low-level schlub for not wearing safety glasses on the plant floor. He immediately went to get safety glasses and later posted an open letter of apology to the plant for setting a bad example.
21:17 OP should have called OSHA on the Company that continued to allow (and/or encourage) the Welders to work next to unshielded Explosive Gas Cylinders...LOTS of Criminal Charges likely would have resulted from that one as well as MASSIVE OSHA Safety Violation Fines...
I worked at an egg processing plant where they use bleach to clean and sanitize the eggs and they also kept acid around to clean the stainless steel. Well one evening one of the maintenance guys wasn't paying attention when he was cleaning the chemical room and knocked both of the valves open and they mixed together making chlorine gas so everybody started getting sick. The management announced that if anybody left they would be fired on the spot nobody could leave everybody was throwing up and the fire department ended up showing up. Will OSHA ended up showing up as well but they were 5 days later with their little gas testers in the are going well there's nothing here so we're not going to charge them with anything. When end up having two people go to the hospital over it and still nothing happened to the company
Every single vehicle the warehouse was using had a short in it and might not stop for another foot or two. One of the supervisors nearly lost his leg, several employees had been injured and they still weren't getting them repaired because "they were still in working order".
Reminds me of the time our cable guy drilled directly into the main cable of our fuse box. Cut power to the whole house. Tried to pretend he didn't do it.
I have a good one. It’s the food industry. When I was in high school I worked at a local restaurant that sold burgers, cheese fries etc. in entirety it was bar food. The food safety inspector came (not because I called them to come inspect the place before school started back up) and they failed in less than 10 minutes. Bugs in food within the fridge to a literal dead rat under the grill. That kitchen was Gross. There was so much damage and mold that they had to tear down that restaurant. 10 out of 10 will never work there again.
Re: The proofer story. I work in a supermarket bakery that has a proofer nowhere near as huge as this one, but still the size of a closet. I can only imagine the Hell that mess must've been to clean. Bread dough, when moist, is INCREDIBLY sticky. It gets everywhere and just about into everything. And thousands of pounds of it, too... ugh. Re: The lunch lady one... I would have gone to the principal, or at least told my mom what I'd seen so that she could.
23:04 OP should have called the local Fire Marshal or Fire Inspector about all the blocked Fire Hoses... I can almost Guarantee that when the Fire Inspector did a 'Random' Inspection of the Plant, he'd see not just the blocked hoses, but all kinds of other Fire Safety Code Infractions and give their Ticket Book a serious workout...
Employees are replaceable but lost profit never is. Americans don’t care about safety; only where the next check is coming from. Safety will always take a backseat to money, from both the employer and the employee.
14:00 OP was somewhat foolish...tell the Idiots that the Rules apply even to them and are there for a DAMN good reason the first time, then Write them Up for violating Health & Safety LAWS for EVERY Violation after that first Courtenay Warning...even if it's the Directing Manager...ESPECIALLY if it's the Directing Manager! If I was OP, that's what I'd do and I'd also look up disturbingly graphic videos on You Tube about what happens when you ignore H&S Rules and the Demon Murphy is watching that day and show them THIS is why those Rules exist...THIS is why I keep Writing you up for breaking them, it's because I DON'T want to have to do the Accident Paperwork or waste my time answering to an OSHA Investigation because someone thought the Rules didn't apply to them and got themselves mangled or killed!
Not health and safety, just the office manager for a small family auction place. The sheer volume of times I saw stuff flying in the face of common sense for safety though. Like the new apprentice using a spinning chair as a foot stool, or one of the warehouse lads standing on a pumptruck while the other ran it down the warehouse, or the owner trying to repair a plugged in leaf blower, or one of the supervisors driving the forklift through the viewing area while customers were about with kids running around. The worst one was when a pallet got caught on something and broke, causing a large box to start sliding down. The flt guy shouted "falling load" and one of the warehouse lads shouted "I'll get it" and started running towards it. Thankfully I was walking past and grabbed him. The box fell onto a sofa, completely obliterating it since the box turned out to be full of iron tools. The warehouse worked turned to me and said he "could have caught that if you hadn't stopped me." I never did manage to get him to understand why that would have been a bad thing.
The safety bulbs....at my last job, they used vibration and shatter resistant incandescent bulbs. They had a frosted looking rubbery coating. They're not ( or weren't) particularly hard to find. This was in the '90s.
Story 3 was taught to us in confined spaces training. The job of the third is to stop the second going in, Thus i made it policy in my team that the overweight guy that cant fit down manholes is the second, attempt rescue from outside as calling emergency service is the rescue plan.
Used to work at a shop as a tire tech. We had a sign at every exit and entrance stating that if you wanted to enter the garage portion of the shop, you had to be escorted by management. This was double true for the garge doors as it was posted in extra large signs on both the left and right sides of both of them. In the summer months, we would open the garage doors so that a breeze would come through. The number of people that would come in to "watch you work on their vehicle" was absurd. It may not seem like a big deal to you, but it's marked for a reason. No, it doesn't matter that "you know what you're doing." If you did, you'd have followed the signs. Oh, you work on the vehicle yourself? Cool. That explains why the mechanic is writing up an estimate that's going to feed his family for the next month. You wanted to show your kids the inside of a garage? Please just follow the sign. I'm not a babysitter. Oh, you believe I'm doing this wrong so now you need to tell me how to do my job? I'm literally putting air in this tire based off the manufacturers specification that is posted on the inside of your car door. No the psi on the tire is not what it's supposed to be pumped up to. That's the maximum amount of pressure that tire has been safely tested at. The number of people who come in, after literally blowing their tire up in the parking lot while pumping their own tires up, is enough of a reason why we offer free air.
This is why sometimes I think staged accidents are needed. IE for the auto crane once the empty slot is found investigating it and basically while making sure everything is safe manually using it when safe to do so (for example while the person is in a meeting someone with safety spotters puts 2 or more rolls in the dead spot clearly crushing the den.) basically making things safely unsafe
so there ist a guy with a severe wound and His coworkers just wrap some random cloth around? Arend there these wall-mounted first aid boxes that should contain bandages? Yikes. First aid should be mandatory at least for shift leads in Industrial settings. And it should involve stuff like tourniquets if the settings they are working involves risks for such severe injuries...
Probably not the best for admitting that I do nothing about it but I have brought it to My boss and his boss and his boss's boss attention. Multiple safety violations one that even almost killed someone, I do the best I can to stay safe and I warm another people but I have 13 pages of OSHA violations at my job site, pictures and direct descriptions of what is in the picture, which subsection specifically it violates, And I'm just holding on to it in case they ever try to fire me, I Tell myself I'll give them one page if they change their mind but in truth I don't want them to be able to fix all of them when they realize I'm serious, they should have been more observant I guess, aren't they supposed to be smarter than me?
You need to consider whether you could be held accountable, if something happens and it comes to light you knew and didn't act. Reporting them isn't about keeping your job, it's covering your ass, protecting yourself from being sued and looking out for your co workers, whether you like them or not. Depending on your conscience, would you be able to forgive yourself? Doesn't matter if they're heinous individuals, they're humans with families. If it's not your job, then alert the person whose job it is. Even if that means calling an outside authority. Who knows, the person injured could be you. How can you sue, if you are aware and do nothing? Idk, it's your call, but I couldn't just let it go.
Great content, as always! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Yeah, uh, great video and all. Please find someone who knows how to play minecraft better. I already have brainrot, and my adhd riddled brain could not handle it.

Good to see a company leader with integrity!
Starting to realise there's a reason packs of peanuts have "may contain nuts" warnings now...
Still doesn't mean anything if the person doesn't read it.
Yeah, might be a nut from a bolt or might be a village silly person.
because of cross contamination, im praying this comment isnt thinking peanuts will trigger a tree nut allergy. peanuts are leagumes
Picturing Gene Wilder singing:
"Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of OSHA violations..."

How many workplace accidents started with a manager’s great idea to save time and money?
Every single vehicle the warehouse was using had a short in it and might not stop for another foot or two. One of the supervisors nearly lost his leg, several employees had been injured and they still weren't getting them repaired because "they were still in working order".
Reminds me of the time our cable guy drilled directly into the main cable of our fuse box. Cut power to the whole house. Tried to pretend he didn't do it.
Story 18 is unforgivable. He was in a position to say something, at least, but he stayed because he liked the money. It's not everyone else's fault.

Modern Osha would have a heart attack if they got sent back in time to the 1930s/40s observing sky scraper workers.

Someone realized that the gameplay is dogshit? my man had to look for the recipe of a crafting table and a boat 28:56
My worst was head of maintenance standing on the roof of a golf cart to change a light bulb 🤬 I made him go get a ladder.

the gameplay is infuriating
Not an inspector, but finding 30+ dead cockroachs in one day in a restaurant dishroom and 15 live ones
Words that I heard once and has stuck with me when it comes to the rules of safety/ OSHA: Those rules are written in blood.
Story 17 I feel like the safety manager getting a bad injury probably led to more carefulness for everyone else
33:09 um sorry to say but prepackaged stuff also basically comes from the same conditions (pest control worker here)
so there ist a guy with a severe wound and His coworkers just wrap some random cloth around? Arend there these wall-mounted first aid boxes that should contain bandages? Yikes. First aid should be mandatory at least for shift leads in Industrial settings. And it should involve stuff like tourniquets if the settings they are working involves risks for such severe injuries...

I’ve been more paying attention to the stories than the game in the background.
They do it on purpose for engagement
