I love the ‘disappointed dad’ voice - and that’s why he can’t be down there - you gonna get him out? - better get him out soon.

Still arguing after almost killing a man is crazy work

Most workers are F- ing idiots !

The contractor had the jacks and panels in the bid…chose not to rent them, and pocketed the $$…you don’t wanna mouth it up with an OSHA inspector, it can end up costing you a lot of money

I love when the actual workers hate on OSHA… like, fools, they are there to protect you. You are arguing for owners to be able to risk your lives so they can make more money 🤦‍♂️

5 foot must be shored. At NASA and other government projects. It’s 4 foot.

The people who support the white collars who want to stop all of the red tape need to stop and understand why it’s there. It’s for their own good and safety. My dad worked for the airlines. Everyone hated the Union. It was the union that supported him and you when the supervisor wanted an unsafe airplane in the air and my dad refused to sign off on the paperwork. Because he cared for you and your family. When the airline went out of business, my dad told me to never fly again because it would no longer be safe because airlines would be hiring uneducated and unlicensed mechanics. Think about this while traveling during the holidays. They don’t care about you, just the bottom line. If your boss is putting you into an unsafe situation, WALK! Find a better company to work for. If something goes wrong they’ll try to blame you.

I fell 40 ft in a scaffolding collapse with a full tool belt on right before covid and I still can't walk right

How long you guys been risking your lives here?

It collapsed not long after wards

After 40 years in my local, I have seen it all. A word of caution and advice to everyone in the construction industry: Why I NEVER trust the jobsite safety person…..EVER! Trust your gut!

Good luck 🍀 getting an OSHA representative to show up on a job site in New Jersey. 🤷‍♂️

You nerds have probably never seen a vertical hole in your life. Let the Darwin Awards commence!

It is extremely unlikely that this video is 4 years old, and I am the second comment. If you don't want comments, just turn them off.

Let men be men, go push your insurance safety bulshit somewhere else

Apparently there is no rush to get him out and he is still there today😅

The OSHA inspector saved his life as the contractor had no regard for their worker's safety. However, it is up to the worker to notice and REFUSE unsafe conditions. Sure, a crappy contractor might fire them. GOOD, they can go work for a reputable contractor while ALIVE.

I have had so many over-paid assholes risk my life for their wallet, all the while demonizing OSHA. I'm sure it contributed to my absolute hatred of wage work in general. Sure, it's fun to successfully dodge a collapsing wall of dirt; we all love a little adrenaline rush. What sucks is unsuccessfully dodging fate's vicissitudes. And your boss ain't giving you health insurance, you can bet your ass. You'll be lucky if you qualify for... no wait, you'll be lucky you ain't dead.

Smart ass inspector. No shit clipboard.

$$$$$$$$

Osha is a communist organization used to extract cash from the tax cattle just like the police do

This guy is a new guy . If osha got to your job site . Just cut the day short and send everyone home . They will find anything and fine you . Huge fines

1st place the trenchbox height is to B min. 18" above excavation at grade, as per this video U can clearly see the reason for this rule!!! SMH 🙄 Worker Safety Should Always B 1st consideration!!!

I think the words that the supervisor was looking for were, “Yes, sir. Right away, sir.” Or maybe he just likes getting fined and shut down…

its always fun when osha comes to work with my boss in tow looking hella nervous, almost always one of our machines thats been running funny or just damn broken is actually working in the next few days and i don't gotta breathe whatever crap is fuming off of it when the burners are on

Whoever the boss is needs to be fired. And fired now

Well once the new regime comes in we won't have to worry about OSHA anymore. Worker safety to expensive

Won't be making any money that day . . . . . . or month.

21 feet ya don’t say welp compared to the deep world of 💩your company is in …. Scales are balanced

Can't be down there. This stuff happens more often than you think, companies cutting corners to save time and money, deadlines need to be met etc. , it's a miracle more people don't die from construction accidents and negligence.

Holly shit, workers please no shortcuts

When OSHA visits the shop I work at, I go outside till they leave. I don't work for them and don't answer any stupid ass questions.

I heard he's still paying off the fine they slapped him with

the only thing i like about government is OSHA. NEVER BE THE IDIOT THAT GETS IN THAT TRENCH. please.

You know what, firemen are always the heroes rescuing people. But imagine if those people never needed rescuing, how redundant would firemen then be? Why do people hate the professionals trying to avoid the accidents and love the rescuers that get to keep their work because the professionals were bad at their jobs?

Operator and pipe layer instructing also suck

What happens to OSHA when Elon is in charge?

Every time he's like you have a problem

I use to be a safety manager and had enough when the owner had no problem with employees drinking and driving company equipment!

this is why you hire mexicans. wyte peeple have to many rules

Agencies like OSHA may be a big ol pain in the keester, but there's _nothing_ , or right next to it, in almost every other country on earth.

Gotta love the Prick who says “i told ya so”

Dude said “you gotta go in” after it already collapsed. Hahaha 😂

some times you have to snitch for your own safety because no one else really cares about your safety.

I wonder how many of these guys (whose lives are in danger in the vid, and who praise OSHA in the comments) voted for someone promising to gut regulations? OSHA had the fewest compliance officers in its history under the first trump administration, and the second time around won't be any better. But at least they won't have so many Mexicans to worry about, so it's worth it, right? Right? ... Right?

no doubt they are hired contractors by the lowest bidder who actually got the job.

I'm with the government and I'm here to help...

I was caught by OSHA climbing without a harness at a concert set up, use to be the norm. Things have changed, we even set up stadium shows in the 90’s without harnesses, luckily I never witnessed an accident.

I have worked at companies who took after very seriously and had safety officers who did daily inspections and other companies who did not. Guess which companies had the most worker injuries? Very serious stuff. These inspectors are guardian angles

OSHA police
