If you’re not new to Bored Panda, you probably know what big fans we all are here of OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration)-related content.

Numerous times we've covered the legendary subreddit OSHA which has set out on a mission to educate people about staying safe at work by showing what incidents lurk around the corner. Check it out here, here and here!

Now, this entertaining Facebook group titled “Looks Like An OSHA Violation But Ok” is a great addition to the educational efforts to remind people that staying safe at work should be the utmost priority!

Home to 492.1K members, the group describes itself as “a place to share images and stories of the most egregious OSHA violations, and other maybe-not-the-best-idea situations.” Scroll down through the batch of examples below!

#1

Workers ignoring OSHA safety guidelines; man holds bag near sparks from a saw.

I think I read somewhere that this is a type of "hazing" to new guys- tbh I'm more concerned that he's that close to it without protective eyewear.

This is an old one similar to asking the new guy to go get a long stand or a sky hook

Be careful with the sky hook. In the industrial world of Canada there is a famous story of a foreman telling a new guy get a sky hook here by tomorrow or you're fired. Next day over the trees comes a giant helicopter mounted crane. The foreman screams over the noise what is that. New guy says it's a sky hook. My dad runs the company. He'd like you to sign this and handed him a bill for 20000 for the hour. Rumor has it they had to pay out and the foreman got fired.

I used to do indoor air quality testing and on the first day we always had the new guy take the sample with a trash bag, tie it like a balloon and have them walk into the office saying they brought the sample. (you take the air sample with a small mechanical device) Everyone always had a good laugh.

In my Teens I worked in a popular holiday camp in Demi Pension ( bed, breakfast and evening meal) as most of us were new and allocated various jobs we hadn't done before one of the kitchen porters was sent to storage to get two packets of chicken lips for that evenings dinner. He was gone for hours, as the guys in the freezers made him open every box looking for them :D

No one cares about safety regulations in the construction industry, the machoism and ignorance is horrifying. We have witnessed it firsthand throughout many Reno’s and also in our own neighbourhood. An elderly neighbour of ours passed away from Silicosis- he had a large painting company. Unfortunately it isn’t profitable to care about the well-being of others, ( he was an ignorant, callous awful little man). All that mattered was how much could be extricated from others and how much money could be made.

    Those lifts are super heavy, how in the hell did they find something that will hold it up? Btw, the tipping over thing isn’t anymore of a hazard in this situation than on solid ground. That pothole in a parking lot is just annoying in a car. It’s a death trap in one of those lifts.

    This will make for a nice, fat ticket.... I mean do whatever you want by all means but this is definitely hazardous to other people on the road. A cardboard came flying into the windshield of my chiropractor while he was driving on the interstate, went through the glass, hit him head and caused him severe damage - cracked skull, massive bleed, brain injury etc. and left him severely disabled. Please be careful everyone.

Boasting a whopping 492.0K members, the group started as a tag group! Brook recounted: “I saw an image posted one day and thought tagging it ‘looks like an OSHA violation but ok’ would have been funny, and fully assumed a group already existed. When I discovered it didn't, I created it.”

    The creator of the group knew right away it was going to be big, but he said he had NO idea how big it would actually get! “And how fast. At one point, we were getting a thousand post submissions a DAY,” Brook told us.

    A ladder could break or he could slip under a normal usage. The glass is the only risk. Besides that, where's the ladder going to go? It's more stable than a ladder up against a house that has nothing bracing the legs.

    When it comes to the content that gets shared on the “Looks Like An OSHA Violation But Ok” group, Brook explained that it’s “curated based on whether or not it relates in any way to any trade, and showing something dangerous, stupid, etc.” Beware that violence and gore are strictly forbidden.

    Moreover, the group doesn't allow cross posting or advertising of any kind. “I think the course duration and moderating helped the group's popularity quite a bit, as it had a more curated feel than some of the wilder groups out there,” Brook said.

    I’m starting to wonder if this is actually a restorative mud bath. Some countries have incredibly mineral rich earth that that many people bathe in for its restorative properties. I highly highly doubt a bunch of men are casually bathing in caustic quick lime/cement…

    Brook also said that lately, no posts are being approved, or very few and far between. “With a group that size, EVERY post generates a ton of moderating, as people will argue about literally ANYTHING. It's just so much work to keep up with everything, so the group has been semi dormant for a while now.” Not entirely, Brook added, but “Looks Like An OSHA Violation But Ok” is no longer a 24/7 job like it was for some time.

    “The audience is a little bit of everybody, but definitely attracts members of any trade,” Brook said when asked about the members of the group. “Due to the nature of the content, I believe this also added to the group's popularity, as much of the content is relevant and/or approachable by a wide audience,” he concluded.

    Not so unusual - although the lock is a bit too much. But nearly every workplace I know has a package of band aids and basic first aid supplies somewhere near the "official" first aid kit - because if you take something out there, it is officially a workplace injury, it has to be documented, and noone likes to fill out a form because he cut himself on paper or got caught on a nail.

    “While perhaps one can say they are 'lucky' nothing has happened, that sort of behavior - the minor breaches - can lead to much bigger ones, or be indicative of general malaise or slipshod behavior, which can mount up and eventually cause huge problems,” Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist, media spokesperson and author of multiple books, including "Be A Great Manager Now", "The Leader's Guide to Mindfulness," and "The Leader's Guide to Resilience,” told Bored Panda in a previous interview.

    Dr. Tang explained that “with regards to the impact on employees - we only have a finite amount of energy we can devote to productive work within a day.”

    She continued: “We know when we are ill, for example, that ability to focus diminishes and performance suffers - if a workplace is making someone sick, you have already reduced productivity (not to mention breached the trust of the employee), but also, even if an employee is worried about something they have noticed that is awry, their own mind will be distracted and in turn affect performance.”

    This picture was probably taken after it was shut off and starting to cool down. You can see how much area is missing it's heat resistant black paint, the grayish area vs the black, which would have been caused by reaching red hot tempatures. Likely >1200°. The flakes are likely areas that reached high enough tempature to cause scaling that wasn't removed during the metal's manufacturing.

    Dr. Tang explained that the research into wellbeing at work previously looked more at the "hygiene factors” because they affected the satisfaction of employees if they weren't present (“a bit like if one didn't wash their hands, they could become ill”). “These include things like working conditions, behavior of immediate management, and the physical workspace.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “However, more recently, people’s attention and the body of research have shifted more towards the organizational health speaks of 'psychological safety' as another element of health - at least emotional and mental health(!) - in the workplace.”

    If a worker doesn't feel psychologically safe, “i.e. they don't feel heard, or perhaps they are criticized all the time, perhaps they don't feel they can ask if they need support,” it can be hugely detrimental to motivation, retention and performance. It also has a tremendous negative impact on the employee's mental and emotional wellbeing.

    Ever seen scaffolding in Hong Kong. It's bamboo. And leather straps. The one I saw was easily 20 stories high. They wet the leather straps when they tie them to hold the poles, then when the leather dries it contracts and becomes really tight .

    This reminds me of the time the propane got too cold for a torch to light (supposedly it froze?) at the ski hill i worked at. They had a guy come over and take another "torch" (a propane fueled, wide nozzle device to unthaw certain parts of machines in a rapid fashion), and heat the tank up. I stood back... just in case.

    No, we used to do stuff like this just to freak people out. There are little clamps inside the outlets that grab the blades on a cord. They grab solid wire just as well. Most likely someone needed some extra light for a bit and it’s a chance to test the lights before everything is closed up.

    It's actually like super thin aluminum with a sticky side. 100% FAA approved on small things. Obviously, major repairs would not be fixed with this but if its something small that doesn't effect the airworthiness- this is a great short term solution to get the plane in the air. Grounded planes make 0 bank!

    I've seen this before welding off a little generator. It'll strike an arc then pop the breaker. So you flip the switch start it again. You get one tack every time. Build it up like this. Note this is not advice but explanation if how it happens. Do not do this

    Nah, duct tape is too firm, you'd have to rip it off and waste time- masking tape, you can pierce with your finger. This... I hate to say this, but this actually works pretty decently as a substitution in a pinch.

    They could've at least written instructions on the tape "rip tape in case of fire", masking tape is great for labeling...

    They do this to most sink holes and sinking ground where I used to live. It's supposed to be placed as soon as things start to lower, to keep people off them and also indicate when they have to actually do repairs (lazy city). The cones pretty much always disappear, and not because people steal them, but because the sink holes complete their journey.

    I'm honestly not seeing much wrong with this unless I'm really missing something. To get to a higher part of your roof you sometimes have to put your ladder on the lower roof to get up there, and having another person spotting the bottom is even better. Sooo yeah, looks ok to me

    No reason. Proof it's just a staged picture. There's no way the ladder would stay there without sliding.
