Why do some people treat job safety like its just a suggestion ( even in the usa)?
>>84858511Because people think it's "manly" to not care about safety and if you follow safety protocols they'll laugh at you and call you a sissy boy.
>>84858511they think following safety protocols is uncool, not stylish, or dorky. basically they're immature.
>>84858511My dad is pretty much deaf at 60 because hes worked construction his entire life and never wore hearing protection. I've been near machines before that were so loud I couldn't be within 50 feet of them without wanting to cover my ears and move away, yet my dad will stand right next to the damn thing. He had this ATV once that had a fucked up exhaust on it, you could literally hear that thing from 4 miles away. The thing is while you could hear it 4 miles away he was ON it. It's still the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life. He'd rev it and you could feel the sound waves putting pressure on your ears. His fucking ears are toast now.

>>84858511I was recently fired from my job because I asked for a mobile welding curtain to be set up. My workstation was like 5 feet away from the "welding" area so I was literally having to stop what I was doing and go somewhere else whenever my coworkers would start welding since the arc was in my peripheral vision and presented a severe hazard, to say nothing of the fact that I was also breathing in fumes during this time for lack of PPE. Got terminated 3 days after the (respectful) conversation with my boss about the matter and I was on the phone with an employment lawyer before I even left the parking lot lol. They also attempted to have me sign a resignation letter. I don't know why anyone would choose to behave this way, let alone open yourself up to this degree of liability as the owner of a business. Very strange behavior.

>>84858590keep an eye on him, he could have brain injuries too
>>84858511Because they haven't been hit (literally) by the consequences of ignoring safety protocols. Just had a coworker earlier crash the fuck out because he actually had to do something other than sit on his lift and stink up the place with his expensive jewelry and excessive cologne.>talk all that shit, but can't lift a 30 lbs box
>>84858511Some of it really is in the way of everybody else getting shit done just to protect the idiots or new guys. Some of it really does suck to use, and you really aren't exposing yourself to that much of what it's supposed to protect you from seeing or breathing or hearing or whatever if you just do it for a second, or carefully.If you actually know what you're doing and like the work you do, this can drive you crazy, so you carefully ignore the rule.Then some fucking dipshit decides that it's some kind of proof of competence to be one of the ones (sensibly) ignoring the rules and busts everyone else's balls until they do too (without knowing what they're doing and being comfortable with the risk.) Then somebody that dipshit leaned on to be a man or whatever gets hurt. The person causing a problem is not the old hand ignoring the rule he understands or the new guy that got hurt. It's dipshit that doesn't let people use their own brains to wear the gear that will keep them safe, and then the nanny state and/or management that won't let people use their own brains to NOT wear the gear when they don't need it forever after the incident.Nanny state, management, and dipshit should all go swimming in the same tank of sharks.
