Previously, Bored Panda reached out to the moderator -eDgAR- who was happy to share some insights on the r/OSHA community. The mod said that the online community is meant to be lighthearted, where everyone can come for a laugh at how ridiculous some people can be.

"It's not meant to be a place for serious discussions about safety, although oftentimes comments can actually get into great analysis about the issues shown in posts, which is great," they commented. However, unlike other subreddits, "we don't get a crazy amount of posts and have seen days with only a handful of posts. If you're one of the lucky first, chances are you'll get to the top," -eDgAR- explained.

Not surprised to see one from Malta. This kind of thing happens on most of the construction sites (of which there are MANY), and there are deadly accidents on a fairly regular basis. Last year a woman died in her own home because the construction site next door had weakened the structure of the building and her house collapsed on top of her.
