What happens when people start to pretend they’re immortal? Not just any people, but those who work in potentially dangerous or even hazardous circumstances. Think of construction workers, crane operators, bridge painters… disregarding the most basic health and safety regulations. Or maybe, even worse, having to work under such conditions due to their apathetic employers.
Nothing good comes out of this, let me tell you. The legendary subreddit OSHA has set out on a mission to educate people about staying safe at work by showing what incidents lurk around the corner. It also has a touch of humor, so it’s not all that serious, but one thing is clear: “Safety First!” people!
Scroll down through our new batch of selections from the community and be sure to check out our previous features on OSHA here, here and here.
