No fun police allowed

OSHA are the good guys, they are who you can call when shit gets dangerous and the bosses don't care.

_{^i dont think the poster meant it seriously^}

Yeah after knowing in great detail what industrial equipment can do to soft squishy people, I'm thinking this "fun police" thing is a corporate psy-op to push for further deregulation.

Because safety (and fines for blatantly violating it) costs money, you guys. :(

: 3 <-Does this look like the face of someone who is joking?

lemmy in general isn't that great when it comes to memes, fun, etc

everyone's too focused on ideology or whatever

Yeah anyone who can do this IRL understands the danger of doing this IRL. No one who has a forklift operator license is so stupid as to not get what those machines can do.

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.

Ok narc

This feels like a labour law violation, but i assume you are american so your probably both SOL and going to have to pay out of pocket for the inevitable medical bills to fix your back.
