This Online Community Is All About People Who Don’t Prioritize Safety, As If They’re Immortal (New Pics)
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!

"Oh Yes Lets Lock The Emergency Stop Button"
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.

Whats wrong with this? That lift is quite stable and they only stepped on the first section of handrail.
They Even Turned The Wheels Sideways For Extra Security
Nothing wrong here, the load is strapped and the forks are lifted and wedged underneath. It is perfectly safe.

I'm a nurse. I'm nodding my head at all the stupid things people do that land them in a hospital bed.
Teucer, what makes me think that your daughter’s degree means that you lack one, at least in the relevant field, is because you would have mentioned your own. This is a typical variant of “I deserve recognition because my husband was in the Navy”
Load More Replies...That was disturbing, but I've seen similar situations while working in a stockroom. Management always shorted us on the equipment we needed to work so you make do with the old, rusty and broken equipment as well as go along with the inane suggestions of managers on how to use that broken equipment to do your job. I almost lost a finger in that place because of the outdated equipment they made us use.
Accidents are almost always due to management issues. Either people don't have the equipment or training to do the job safely, or they're told to hurry and just do it, or there's a culture of not being allowed to stop and say I won't do it, or there's no maintenance plan, etc etc.
