30 Of The Worst Work Safety Examples Ever, As Shared In An Online Group Dedicated To Them (New Pics)

My school was being completely remodeled my first year of high school. They were tearing down buildings and rebuilding one section of the school at a time. Construction crews hit a gas line causing a leak and everyone had to be sent home. As I was walking past the building with the leak, I saw a construction worker inside smoking a cigarette. I’m pretty sure he was fired and fined $500 for smoking on a school campus.

Previously, Bored Panda reached out to the moderator -eDgAR- who was happy to share some insights on the r/OSHA community. The mod said that the online community is meant to be lighthearted, where everyone can come for a laugh at how ridiculous some people can be.

"It's not meant to be a place for serious discussions about safety, although oftentimes comments can actually get into great analysis about the issues shown in posts, which is great," they commented. However, unlike other subreddits, "we don't get a crazy amount of posts and have seen days with only a handful of posts. If you're one of the lucky first, chances are you'll get to the top," -eDgAR- explained.

You know what would happen if a spark lit the paper on fire? It would burn slowly. The guy might at most whip it off. He might be so misfortunate as to suffer a singe or crack a lens. While it might look odd at first, the ingenuity of people in such predicaments is awe inspiring. You can take all the cheap shots you want to make yourself feel an aritificial sense of relevance, but I've seen these guys in action and I only wish I could be half as impressive as them. Now, on the other hand, too bad if sitting on your a**e everyday caused a weight problem that you might be sensitive about. Too bad if that were the least of the problems it might cause. We done being a complete fake and criticising people for mundane things that never mattered and least of all to you so as to make ourselves feel better without actually doing anything to feel better yet?

Maybe a bit of something along those lines, but I suspect a lot of it is training, experience and exposure. I have fear of heights, even Uranophobia (term not used much, means fear of heavens, and if you feel like a giggle then there's an animation that explains this and other phobias graphically called Figaro Pho, can find it on Youtube) which can make it hard to even walk on solid ground let alone be at heights, but I've gotten it under control, have a working at heights and elevated work platform permit and can manage that, but still even watching those guys climb construction sites makes my balls quiver like my perineum is collapsing in on itself. So, I'd say, from personal experience, it's probably a bit of both.

I was working midnight shift as a nurse in a nursing home and saw white smoke rolling down from above the drop ceiling. I called the fire dept. and anticipated the possibility of evacuating residents. Thankfully it turned out to not be a big deal. Later I was told by the facility maintenance head that if it happened again that before calling the fire dept I should get a ladder and inspect the area myself to see what was wrong. I declined and said it wasn't in my job description. My husband the electrician wanted to strangle the idiot that told me to do that.

Doesn't seem too bad, depends on the size of the fire. Some fires are small enough that throwing a drink or stamping on it could put it out.

I think the O.P. read too much into these directions. Number 4 (Direct people from the area) is telling people to get away/out of the fire location/department. And Number 5 is somewhat ambiguous. It could mean that IF you CHOOSE to assist prior to the Fire Department arriving, do not be a hero going at it alone.

That coil spring is used in a car suspension and can hold the weight of the entire car. That is quite likely the most dangerous part of a car to work on.

If I was hired by a company then went on to explore my work area and ran into this abomination, I would be very compelled (as a duty to protect my fellow humans/coworkers) to make change my first job responsibility. And that would start with a call to OSHA and the building inspectors responsible for the site. Whether or not I chose to stay employed there would be based on the reaction of the company leaders in regards to the safety and wellbeing of their workforce -- the frontline boots-on-the-ground, hands-in-the-s**t people who bring the money into the business -- and what they ultimately take responsibility for and correct.

What shock me is the poor quality of the roof..

How-so? This roof doesn't actually look too bad, very little curling of the shingle corners, not much visible granule loss. I have to assume the other pitch was in worse shape than this one.

Aside from the lift which doesn't seem to have an operator in it, this is completely fine.

This is fine, it's the reason you wear a respirator. Try being a carpenter in a cleanroom, it won't work very well.

Close but failed: the jaws of the hasp need to be in the lock--out hole. Here only one padlock is locking out, and the others are just ornamentally attached along with the hasp. Only the blue padlock is an approved Lock Out padlock the others are not.

Not sure what they are doing, but one way to secure something several people need access to is link the locks. Each person has their own lock and key. Remove one lock to open.

This is how it's supposed to be. In situations like this, every worker is required to put these safety locks in place for their own protection.

0points

Douglas Turner 4 years ago

Yeah, there is no protection offered here. The lockout hasp needs to go through the switch. That silver bit that looks like a claw? It should be where the first padlock is. So one key and the whole thing comes away.

I was confused about that, too. Thanks for clarification. (Not familiar with these locks - which is a shame, it seems such a genius thing)

Post must be from the UK. Our plugs used to have E,N,L inside for earth (ground), neutral and live.

Brandi VanSteenwyk 4 years ago

After seeing the post far above, where the individual took the term "ground" to mean soil (which they placed into a cup next to the wiring), perhaps EARTH is a better term to use.

0points

M O'Connell 4 years ago

When getting technical, "ground" generally refers to the equipment side of things, not the mains side of things. A washing machine has a chassis-ground connection (pin #3) while the mains wiring has an earthed connection (green or uncoated wire (in the US)).

This is what happens when you don't give people enough time or the right equipment, but tell them if it isn't done they're fired.

24points

Brandi VanSteenwyk 4 years ago

The "right equipment" was just inside those double doors. To me this indicates the the employee opted to go without. It's more likely in this scenario, that the worker felt comfortable doing the job his way and his supervisor/manager would have chewed his heinie if they became aware.

"not a big safety/health issue" - rodents in the break room and slip/trip/fall hazards that might render you paraplegic if you hurt yourself badly are considered "not a big issue"? WTF?

They have one week to fix all reported problems and inform OSHA what they have done. They also need to give evidence. OSHA will conduct an inspection and if they are anything like the authorities in the Netherlands, that will be an unannounced inspection.

He's in a "box" which is securely attached to the forks, and has sides between 39" and 45" tall (probably), which makes this a fully qualified working surface.
