    I have a love/hate relationship with the safety crew.

    They’re why I have to waste time each year rewatching the exact same shit, but equally, I have seen too many incidents of someone ignoring the protocol and getting severely hurt.

      The most important reason for OSHA to exist is to prevent managers from cutting corners on safety. Without regulation, the companies will risk peoples’ lives to save a few dollars.

      An unexpected viewing of “Russian Lathe Accident” should suffice. That guy was all over the place.

        Literally any CCTV in a Chinese factory hosted on liveleak. Rip.

          Yea that’s I’ve seen a few with the classic low quality of cctv and it’s gnarly. Saw someone get splated under the rear of a forklift. She was being counter weight cause they were lifting too heavy of a load and the other person that was also a counter weight got off causing the forklift to start slanting, she tried holding on, got lifted and then fell and slid under the forklift as it came back down after dropping the load. Not pretty.

        What fucks with me these days are the less gory ones.

        Like watching a woman’s hand get caught under a rivet press because she thought she would be quick enough. Safeties failed, no one could hit the kill switch in time. She’s lucky she has use of that hand left, at this point.

      Safety rules are written in blood. When you spend at least 8hours/day doing the same thing, even if that thing has a very small chance of generating an accident, that’s a lot of time spent doing something risky. Everyone has bad days, any one of those could kill you/severely injure you if you don’t take safety protocols seriously.

    She was driving with the forks at head height. You’re probably going to encounter a clipboard doing that.
