“Looks Like An OSHA Violation But OK”: 50 Examples Of Ridiculous Work Safety (Best Of All Time)

Ok that is pretty funny way to haze the new guy.

While not appropriate for traffic, I have seen cones this size used in marking out locations of underground power lines during maintenance work. They're visible, but don't obstruct movement.

I'm going to buy a label maker just so I can do this

There are two serious violations. Fail to have an emergency exit and lying about it.

I love the guy peering at the damage like "oh the rock dented the back here"

For anyone who doesn't see what's wrong, the bear is not wearing protective gear.

It only doesn't work if you fall, if you don't....

Oh hell no nope no way.

If this is "fine," then put tires with this much tread wear on the managers' cars.

Final Destination 2 opening scene but in reverse

Would have been better just by removing all the stair flights. You can just glide down, firemen style. Faster too.

Officer: "Do you know why I pulled you over?" LOL

Just a flesh wound. It will be fine.

I had to do a double take to make sure this wasn't my shop

Hell of a speed trap!!

Omg that makes me feel physically sick 🤢

They would SO not get away with this in Europe, where you have to display your car's latest MOT or equivalent (colour coded) in the window - they'd get a whopping fine, vehicle not allowed on the road and probably an inspection

More tired than tire.

Based on the size of the bricks, that's 400v. There is a dial you set for sensitivity. This is the result of allowing uncertified staff to attempt winning Darwin awards.. just fyi, these explode with enough violence to kill you while the door is properly sealed and it's designed to contain the blast, with it open like that, this could kill anyone within 15ft

I'm more worried about the people walking around that might jostle the ladder

I wouldn't even attempt to go near this

Looks like India...

Oh! The irony

And her mask isn't covering her nose either lol

Reminds me of how I lost my body

At least he tied off

Why would the electric or cable company, whatever this is, buy trucks for their fleet, that aren't capable of reaching devices/equipment that they need to work on? I hope this isn't a daily occurrence.

Screw the billboard look at the hallway under it omg

02 doesn't explode, it just makes anything combustible more combustible.

There was an English football/soccer player a decade or so ago who was out injured with a blood blister under the nail on one of his toes, it wasn’t healing as quickly as he wanted so to try and speed up his recovery he decided to try and ‘drain’ it by using a handheld power drill on it. Somehow, miraculously, surprisingly it didn’t lead to him losing his toe and ending his career

Are banages really that expensive?

Look up Triangle Factory Fire. Disgusting employers still would risk lives 100 years later.

This answers so many questions!

Big Bada Boom!

Not a fan of the other ones either

When the Saw franchise and the Final Destination franchise decide to do a collaboration. /J

They didn't step on the spot it said not to

Probably his last too.

That's an undercount.

Orrr you guys can test your hidden adrenaline fueled strength should a fire occur!

not paletteable

Ok it is a thumbnail and i bet it gets views.

Didn't know Rite Aid even sold trampolines

This actually works short term to prevent spalling (pieces breaking off) until the pole can be brought down safely with a crane. They are reenforced concrete, so won't fall over without taking more damage then that. You have to basically pulverize enough concrete that you expose enough rebar for it to bend

This is a floating work platform. Nothing wrong here. Designed and engineered for this most likely.

Looks like it's melting frost, so I doubt it's much risk /s

That's a lot of c*ke

Load of different sized roof trusses, at a glance I see at least 6 three inch straps (possibly more if i zoom in). Also loaded to be balanced on the truck. Have had loads delivered looking worse than this. Delivered flat you will always have peaks and eaves hanging out everywhere. Truss trailer is the best way to haul but that is a specialized trailer.

He's wearing dress shoes!!

Little did they know Dave had a bigger lunch that day than they thought...

Carducken.

Nah he just hates birds

This is more Darwin Award...

What if it just slurped off all his clothes and turned them into confetti like in the cartoons

The fact that its all strapped together to make one solid unit. Just saying, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I would work off that. Not saying I've never stood on buckets on top of 30 foot of scaffold because I was still a foot short of reaching.

i just imagined them just pulling his pants off and him just falling in as they just hold either leg... help

Is that the entrance to hell?

Now this looks fun!

Braced off both directions, might be sketch but works. I'd use it if that's all I had.

Trucktris

It's fine, he's not smoking.

Apparently some of the parts for these need to be replaced every year. But if you're too cheap to replace them.... I'd say this is less dangerous than non functional.

Looks like something I did in Kerbal Space Program back in the day...
