I must be the fun police here, because all I see here is a desire to hurt people that keep companies from putting me in harm’s way.
OSHA are the good guys, they are who you can call when shit gets dangerous and the bosses don’t care.
Damn, people need to lighten up here, OP posts an obvious joke and half of the comments are just “mUh iNdUsTrIaL SaFeTy”
I think it’s perfectly reasonable to be horrified at things like OSHA going away with the current state of the U.S. federal govt.
And if anyone thinks safety people never hamstring operations over silly ideas of risk, or turn into little dictators feeding their egos, think again.
I think of them as an extension of HR. Their purpose is to protect companies.
Some of their more asinine findings are merely efforts to show they’re being productive; companies expect returns in all things.
