I noticed we don't talk about safety much here. This thread could save your life.
How has your company implemented safety?
Have they gone above and beyond to make sure you make it home at the end of the day?
My company requires observations of safety hazards on the job. We need 2 or 3 a week and to correct those violations we find. We have to upload them to a web site here.

I yell at my coworkers when they're chopsawing aluminum stock without earplugs. I'm like, dude, why the frick would you ruin your hearing for some fricking job.
I need to do better myself. I need a decent respirator and better safety glasses myself.
If you're working for someone else, there is zero sense in ruining your body for them.
It's not cool, it's not lame to be safe, it's you being as in-tact as you can be for your grandchildren so you're not sitting alone in a chair dumb deaf and blind because you thought you were invincible at 26.
Oh I used to chop aluminum too, we would wax the blade to quiet it down a little while wearing ear plugs
>If you're working for someone else, there is zero sense in ruining your body for them.
this is what i always tell myself. i am gonna sound like a pussy because i am not a tradie but just an office slave. however it still applies, putting so much emotion in the work and putting up with the abuse of the impossible requirements is not worth it for any job at all. health before everything and frick everyone who thinks otherwise.
>i am gonna sound like a pussy because i am not a tradie but just an office slave
my aunt had a fully stuffed filing cabinet fall on her. be careful at the office, anon.
>linking to your companies Intranet
Enjoy your extra cybersecurity modules
Maybe op is trying to bait us into abusing that link
>be op
>catastrophically frick up at work
>get reported by cuck coworker
>post link to 4chams to flood it with violations
>day's instances are ignored because of obvious fake reports.
I honestly doubt anyone will even read them. Employees probably submit fake ones all the time as is. Plus this is a slow board, now had it been posted on /b/ that might be another story.
Just a reminder to be super safe today guys
You fricking homosexual
>How has your company implemented safety?
you fall off that ladder, youre fired before you hit the ground
Sounds like they should be reported to someone
stfu you drooling mongoloid
the fact that we have done so much to eliminate darwinsim is disgusting and unnatural.
All lives matter, even dumbasses like yourself
yours certainly doesnt
I'm sure the safety rules have made sure you made it home more than once so you should be thanking me.
We let the newbies or the leftists do it first. If they die, then we know not to whatever shit they did.
May sound dumb, but I drive a large vehicle and lift heavy stuff 5 days a week, and the amount of people willing to ruin their lives over dumb shit is just astounding. People truly do just walk into moving trucks and forklifts, or treat company vehicles as joyride toys and ruin their real licenses driving someone elses shitbox truck. I fear dipshit forklift kids. Dudes not giving a frick about securing loads in their vans or putting sketchy dangerous placard-worthy product in the cab of their pickup to not have it in the bed. Frick, just coolant and tire pressures are beyond some. I would not want to die pinned in the cab of a mangled van by the 4000lbs of unsecured brake drums that rocked forward through the 14 guage steel partition and crushes me with a wet snap, because highway traffic in the downtown corridor did a goof and slowed quickly. Seen and had weird shit happen, and the one time I got into a crash in one of these things, I had 2500lbs worth of buckets of grease, wrapped in plastic and ply ties, and those hitting the back of my seat hurt me far more then the other truck. Frick that. PPE is good shit because I refuse to die on the clock.
>I fear dipshit forklift kids.
Show them this:
>Building 20' containers last year
>Low roof shop with 20T crane
>Lifting eyes (On a 20mm plate) have 2 normal fillets, 2 overhead fillets where they overlap the corners slightly
>Welders do the overheads at next station. we tack the outside corner, weld up the 2 roof welds
>Effectively 4" of weld into the frame channels then merely seal on the tin roof
>2 cranes both with 2 leg chains to move it off the jig & down the shop
>We have to lower the upper end ring ONTO the roof to get a bite tight enough to lift container without running out of crane
>Double the 5T chains back into the upper end ring of course
>Even greater angle than 171 deg in pic related, I couldn't believe what I was seeing
>Fricking mad rush all the time & a shit company besides
>Been there a few weeks, 4 of us on the jig doing a corner each
>3 containers a day assembled & roof fully welded
>My mate on the other corner has had machine issues since I started
>Nobody is bothered, foreman least of all
>His lifting plate gets ripped off while he's walking the container off the jig, almost loses his face
>Entire shop floor breaks out in applause & cheers
>Everyone is laughing & calling him a wanker
>Chargehand tells me we 'haven't got time to frick about with spreader bars'
>Later that day the chargehand almost loses his hand while knocking wedges out of a bottom corner
>Young guy on the pendant just performed the lift as soon as he was ready
>Didn't even hear his screaming rage out because he still had his headphones in & was miles away daydreaming
>Same guy was persistently blowing MiG sparks into my airfeed filter while we welded the galv roofs
>Completely oblivious as to why I'm pissy about ruining £30 filters twice a week as a contractor
Holy rant batman. I could go on for another hour.
Anyway, they paid double the going rate & couldn't get the staff can't keep the staff.
It was fricking pythonesque lads
tldr
The company I work for is really big on safety. probably because of lawsuits.
we have safety meetings twice a week, which is like a conference call.
we're provided with glasses, gloves, hardhat, neck shades, sunscreen and alot of other consumables.
the "safety observations" are there, but no one I work with actually does them. which is nice since I don't have to worry about anybody snitching on me.
I see my supervisor maybe once every other week.
It has been stated that we are each responsible for our own well-being, and it does really feel like that.
Sounds horrible, you should probably do those observations and be the change you want to see
>The company I work for is really big on safety. probably because of lawsuits.
That's the only reason any company gives a shit about safety. Safety has nothing to do with worker well-being and everything to do with insurance risk mitigation.
We do a daily safety inspection of potential hazards we face in the day. Monthly safety meeting about anything from angry driving, to working live, to proper ladder use.
You should do weekly safety meetings and have it actually address stuff directly related to what you currently are doing.
Ever since covid started they ignore all the other safety features at my company. 2 people have died and we've had more injuries than before. Fricking HR normies are awful I hate them so much. They don't seem to give a shit they just want to look good to the news
RAGE.
Glad I work in IT.
Nobody's going to protect you. You have to protect yourself. You are the only person responsible for your wellbeing and longevity in this life. On-the-job safety is less about protecting yourself from disasters and more about mitigating the long-term damage caused by chronic exposure to things like loud noises, dust & particulate and chemicals. You go to work every day without earplugs, safety glasses and a respirator and your body is going to feel it. Don't be stupid and throw caution to the wind. Protect yourself first, establish some decent safety protocols when working and using equipment and always try to get better at it.
If you don't wear safety glasses and you're in construction you're going to start to develop scarring on your eyes from all the dust and shit that's going to get in your eyes. Especially if you have contacts. If you work with something like drywall that shit is going to get inbetween your eye and your contact and just grind the surface of your eye down.
If you don't wear a respirator, then you're opening yourself up to all the shitty chemicals and metals they use in all of construction. If you're a carpenter, then you're going to breathe all of the formaldehyde they put in MDF these days. If you're into renovations or house flipping, then you open yourself up to biological threats like rodent-borne pathogens, mold and fungus. You don't want to be bringing that shit home with you, it WILL impact you and your family.
We live in a dangerous world. Men have been destroying their bodies for ages as laborers. Don't be like everyone else. Cherish your health because once it's gone, you're going to wish like mad it was back.
My work throws a kaniption fit if you get hurt, and usually a hissy fit if you're caught not using PPE. Luckily they provide good PPE, and had actually fired managers who told a worker to just do something quick without PPE.
conniption
If you don't know how to spell a word don't use it.
Stfu bigger, think you'd just so smart cause you can read
Intelligent people usually don't lash out when corrected
>bigger
how's that phone treating you
Well..well..well we meet again OSHA. Not this time you slippery bastards, im cutting all the power cords cant fine me if its inoperable.
Throw them in your gangbox, lock it up and then leave the site.
OSHA or the cords?
God damn that made me laugh
They have enough money to pay people to shut up when accidents happen.
>people think ladders are safe but standing in the bucket of a bobcat is not
morons
the problem with anything hydraulic is your trusting your life to one of those.
Yeah fricking orings man cant trust those newfangled little shits
It's not just trusting seals and hoses. You have to trust the operator won't sneeze or get stung by a bee and jerk the lever. Even if the machine is off, the controls are still live, hit the wrong lever and gravity takes over.
Bob cats are locked though.. controls are not live
Hard to prove to OSHA when it's just a picture
Also
Safety last I kick ass
>spend the extra time to work safely
>get fired for taking to long
Have you tried not being an expendable cog?
We flip around 0.5-5 tons+ buckets all day long so they're kind of anal about it but it's understandable
Used to work in a coal mine. One of the roof bolters would use the HEPA filter bag for garbage. Concentrated sub 2.5 micron would pool out like liquid. Lungs would hurt after a shift of that when doing time studies.
Personally switched to googles recently to much saw dust blowing past the glasses. Double ear pro when practical, sure as frick dont want more EEEEE.
I work in an underground mine. I spend half my time underground wearing a P100 respirator. People ask why I do it as if they never noticed that the mine is full of a cloud of fine dust that they're breathing in all day. They say it's not harmful and I don't believe them.
Black lung is still around even in surface mining, I failed my medical on the spiro last week. x-ray was clear but still need to see specialist.
Speaking of safety, how dangerous fiberglass dust is? I often hear people complaining about how it makes them itchy, but what if it gets in your eyes or lungs? You'd think even one piece od ground glass in an eyeball would be a disaster.
'they' say it's fibers are larger than asbestos fibers but the industry is still going after it, and my thoughts are the fibers still break down and are harmful to you
our German OSHA considers glass wool made before 1995 carcinogenic, because it contains fibers thin enough to go deep in the lungs.
glass wool made after 2000 has fibers thick enough to not go in your alveoli.
also the mineral composition has been changed in a way the fibers can be digested by the body in about 50 days.
glass also breaks lateral turning into "dust" particles. asbestos breaks lengthwise becoming a thinner and thinner fiber that's still to long to be encapsulated by the body.
Today I made an observation
I observed a bunch of homosexuals in this thread.
We all have a death wish
It's kind of fricked when you see someone who 'has a death wish' dying, rarely do they look peaceful, usually they look scared. Truth is they were really just in love with suffering and acting like an attention prostitute.l, but when the time comes it's always no please don't kill me I want to live, I have so much life left to live blah blah blah
Safety is a thing that 0% percent of the german companies do. This is not a joke and not a thing someone says that is not working in this kind of area. I've been working as a safety officer and no one follows the rules. Literally NO ONE is able to follow VDE and BG rules. It's an ungrateful job but the only one I see a fulfillment in life. It's a shit land and I hope everyone dies.
I've forgot to tell that I've working since 2011 in this job. It's not a thing that I'm not capable of. It's more like that my capabilities are not wanted. Through the years there were enough examiniers that where impressed of the quality of this kind of field (2014, 2016). I'm so fricking sick of this fricking buttholes.
Oh cool a guy who can't do anything but feels the need to create extra problems to justify his job.
Go frick yourself
many safety officers dont understand what there doing either.
they control first aid bags and make a big fuzz because some band aids are missing.
they don't care that the safety of the machines was stupidly implemented from the start.
>oldgays mocking new guy for wearing earpros when he's drilling
Fricking homosexuals
Whatt?
Speak up buddy, didn't hear you
>starts cutting rebar without eye or ear protection
This one gets me. I've got mild tinnitus so I wear my earpro pretty much everywhere, around generators and servers too. If it's not over my ears it's on my neck or in my pocket.
I watched a slab of granite fall on a guy, basically scrape his shins clean and land on his feet. Fortunately fell oposite or he'd be dead. Fell while being take off an A frame so it was a good 5 feet of inertia before contact. The slab cracked in half while on the crane, nobodies fault but the dumbass who ran in to "stabilize" a giant rock while it was swaying on the crane.
recommend me some good ear plugs for protection.
i always carry those in my pants. so i am never without ear pro.
>can you help me cut that stone and drip some water on it while i cutting it with that 110dB angle grinder?
sure i can let me put my earplugs in.
if i know i have to work with loud things for a long period of time i use ear muffs. and if its really loud i put in the uvex end then the earmuffs on top.
I buy the ear bands, and leave them around my neck all day
Only 10 bucks, never had them break
I don't need any ear protection.
