Anything is possible if you are creative enough. Who needs ISO/OSHA/DIN standards or safety precautions?

Isn't the safety inspector on the workers side.

Never endanger yourself for your job unless those risks are a stipulated part of the job.

I have a love/hate relationship with workplace safety. I love a safe workplace, but many areas have stupid regulations and requirements just for the sake of looking like they're safe or because they don't want the liability of customizing things for certain situations which just makes things harder/uncomfortable for workers.

Saw a work crew the other day with hardhats on. Working outdoors, doing survey type work in an area with absolutely nothing overhead. It was completely unnecessary but required to meet "safety" rules.

That's just one example.

Are you really suggesting that workers attack safety inspectors like OSHA? The fuck?

But... They won't let us have forklift races and make us wear our helmets! So, clearly they're the enemy...

Pallet jack races are more fun anyway
