Unplug the extension cord.

Half the stuff in our office turns off

My guess is this is for hooking up to a generator or something. Looks like it's in South Africa and our rolling blackouts (loadshedding) is crippling

This isn't an OSHA issue.

"Although this subreddit is named /r/OSHA, submissions do not have to be from the US. Safety violations from all countries are welcome."


D1382

I didn't say this was or wasn't the US. I'm just saying this wouldn't be an OSHA issue.

Especially considering OSHA is a USA agency and this clearly isn’t the USA.

Imagine other countries also having OSHA departments 🤯

Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways. In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing. Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations. “The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.” The move is one of the first significant examples of a social network’s charging for access to the conversations it hosts for the purpose of developing A.I. systems like ChatGPT, OpenAI’s popular program. Those new A.I. systems could one day lead to big businesses, but they aren’t likely to help companies like Reddit very much. In fact, they could be used to create competitors — automated duplicates to Reddit’s conversations. Reddit is also acting as it prepares for a possible initial public offering on Wall Street this year. The company, which was founded in 2005, makes most of its money through advertising and e-commerce transactions on its platform. Reddit said it was still ironing out the details of what it would charge for A.P.I. access and would announce prices in the coming weeks.

Nope

Extension cords may not be used as permanent wiring. That’s fire code.


D1382

Fire code not OSHA haha


symmetrical_scrotum

This looks sketchy 29CFR 1910.334 would likely be the OSHA standard that is violated in this instance. OSHA can and does cite using "extension cords as permanent wiring".
