40 Workplace Safety Fails That Would Have OSHA Sending Everyone Home<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I worker construction for several years and the amount of\u00a0OSHA violations<\/a>\u00a0I saw was staggering. Cutting safety corners to save some time was just par for the course.<\/p>\n

Well, that being said, I also saw a ton of workplace injuries. The\u00a0safety rules<\/a>\u00a0are there for a reason. To keep dummies from hurting themselves or others.<\/p>\n

The folks in these workplace safety fails don\u2019t seem to care about that though. They saw something right in their lap or put a forklift on a bigger forklift to reach the ceiling. They don\u2019t care the price.<\/p>\n
