Industry Pros Reveal 'Dirty Little Secrets' From Work That'll Make You Want to Call OSHA

wildfire fire fires wildfires safety protocol malicious-compliance reddit osha work employee supervisor fired construction

'Over 400 hectares [burned]': Arrogant supervisor pushes his railroad workers to bend the rules on safety protocols; starts a raging wildfire, then gets justly fired for negligence

Some people just want to watch the world burn. But when you're the one guy who's only job is to prevent destruction from consuming the job site, that's exactly what you're trying to avoid.

'If you fall you're fired before you hit the ground': Roofer refuses to do dangerous job 35-feet in the air and gets written up, starts gathering photos for OSHA

'If you fall you're fired before you hit the ground': Roofer refuses to do dangerous job 35-feet in the air and gets written up, starts gathering photos for OSHA

'I woke up in an ambulance': Employee barely survives maliciously complying with overly strict water break rules; after heat-stroking, he inflicts epic OSHA revenge on his manager

'You gotta risk it to get the biscuit' may be one of the greatest tropes of all time for risk-takers, go-getters, and people who are known for absolutely sending it. Like the football legends of yore, skydivers on their first solo flight, or the self-proclaimed ‘disruptors’ of the world, this phrase is a basically a commandment.

'Why is there a girl here?': Female electrician from Utah shares the eye roll-inducing interactions she's had while working the trade
