Like Bored Panda explained in our first article on this online community, r/OSHA is a subreddit devoted to a really noble cause—reminding people to stay safe at work. It borrowed its name from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and is collecting pictures of folks who are really pushing their luck, trying to deter others from trying similar stunts. We're talking drivers who aren't securing the load, ladders that are tied together using hair and hope, and such intricate wire mazes, even electricity can't navigate them. So get out your safety goggles and keep scrolling, the pics are wild!

    Seriously, though... When you have weird regulations you have to do something. For instance, when regulations say you need to have an emergency stop button for a hospital's emergency generator outside the hospital... And if anyone touches it at the wrong time 50 people on artificial life support will die.
