“Safety First!”: This Online Group Is Dedicated To The Dumbest Work Safety Examples, Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones (New Pics)

Oh I know this level, the gorilla stops throwing the barrels and the fight is on

Why women live longer than men, example 745

This image fills me with anxiety.

Nope

"Yo Dawg, I herd you like laddering, so I put an ladder in your ladder so you can ladder while you ladder."

This had to do with a very old-fashioned safety feature. Old elevators from the 50s and 60s had pressure sensors in the floor designed so that kids would not be able to use the elevator unsupervised - if someone under a certain weight steps in, then the floor sensor doesn't trip and the buttons don't work. The way to circumvent this is to do a small jump because it tricks the sensor into registering you even if you're under the weight limit. When I was a kid, this used to happen every time I went to see my grandma, because her building had one of these elevators (now long since replaced) and it also had an audible "click" when the pressure sensor was pressed. Of course, the scary part is that the doors on that elevator were manual and if you stepped in and the floor sensor didn't trip, the elevator would think the cabin was empty and turn off the light - also, people from different floors could still call the lift so you'd ride with the inside doors open and in the dark...

It's just a jump to the left....

That's a "no" from me. Been stuck in a lift once, not keen to repeat the experience.

Don't do a big jump though, or else.

I've had to do that a few times in my life.

Live like you can afford the medical bill 💪🏻

Looks more like the Highway to Hell

Having a panic attack just looking at this

He must work for Captain Ladder in the first picture. Expansion is good. Get er done!

Idiot

well.. at least the anchor's mass is correct..

When aspects of your BDSM lifestyle cross over into the workplace...

If he throws the frisbee and the other guy catches it with his mouth in the air, that would be epic.

so....there's rope, so when the smaller guy inevitably falls, the really obese guy can fall on top of him??

Sometimes it’s the simplest explanation - “S&M Play Date”

Some really have nerves of steal.

Sometimes s**t just has to get done. Most cubicle people don’t understand someone has to do the dirty work.

Well, look, I wouldn't do this, but if the bottom of the ladder was REALLY securely fastened and couldn't slip, is it really all that different from climbing a ladder in a normal position? The angle is a bit steep, I'll give you that, though.

Wtf is wrong with people? Death wishes, suicidal tendencies, adrenaline junkies.......nope, just plain absolute stupidity!

Suppose at that height it's like bomb defusal. Either he gets it right or it's suddenly not his problem anymore.

How many pallets does it take to change a... oh, wait

He got tired of waiting for the city to fix it...

At least they're tied down?

A least they are strapped together

A ratchet strap and safety panels. Perfectly safe.

I saw that some areas are filling empty milk jugs with spray foam, sealing the lid and tying them in pairs. While sketchy, they at least don't get stolen like real life rings do, and cheap to replace if they do get stolen. I'd rather have foam filled milk jugs that are available than a locked up life ring.

And a zip tie on the same lock, that's overkill
