There are many things that can go wrong at work. But as far as your health and safety goes, your employer has to protect you and tell you about health and safety issues that may affect you. Workplace risk factors include but are not limited to chemicals, biological agents, physical factors, adverse ergonomic conditions, allergens, and psychosocial factors.

From making sure there are enough first-aid resources to minimizing potential risks at all costs, these are the least employees can do. And if not, the chances are they will get busted on the r/OSHA subreddit, which is entirely dedicated to reminding people to stay safe at work. Borrowing its name from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the community's description says “Safety First!” and its 745k members mean it.

So let’s see what kind of workplace disasters waiting to happen they came up with right below and make sure to check out our previous posts on r/OSHA here and here.

Someone who trusts his workmates as much as he trusts the strength of his shirt.

Look, we can spend all morning setting up a safety rig, or we can just hold onto Carl, get this done, and knock off early. Who's in?

FYI, Carl is wearing a very special shirt that won't stretch, rip, or come off of him when he falls.

Hey Republicans, this is what deregulation looks like. OSHA and safety regulations are a good thing.

He might not fall many feet before he comes up against a solid object, but that object appears to be an upright board that is going to hit him right in the crotch. He may wish he'd fallen farther.

This is why we have regulations in the States. Employers would make workers do this to get the job done.

The guy in the white hat will impale his upper body if the man he's holding falls. They're all gonna die.

Worker 1: "I want the sweater!" Worker 2: "No, if he falls, it's mine!"

Ok even if they don't do proper safety equipment, I just wonder how in these scenarios there isn't even a lenght of rope to be found to tie under arms or something.

I wonder what they expect to happen if he slips and falls? The guys above will be left holding an empty shirt as the man plummets to his death.

Just Started As The Safety Guy Of A New Plant. We've Got A Little Ways To Go...

dongbroker Report

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.

Too bad if a spark hit the paper and lit it on fire. Your whole face could get burnt.

No chips, heavy surface rust on the machine surface. I wonder how long that mill has been out of service.
