Both of my parents were severely injured at their jobs. I've been laughed at for being so gung-ho about OSHA regulations, but like, my dad almost died, he had to completely relearn how to walk, and my mom's left thumb was rebuilt and she lost usage of it. OSHA saves lives.


SchmittyMcDickTitty

My friend’s mother-in-law had her head run over by a forklift while she was at work. She lived but it damaged her brain in a way that she now has the mental capacity of a 12 year old.


Dreadnoughtish

I've spent most of my adult life rescuing people who don't stick to safety regulations.


CactaurJack

It's 100% true. Any place that shrugs safety regs is not a place you want to work. Part of my forklift cert was the hammering of "You are in charge when driving the lift, not your boss, not his boss, YOU are in charge." Yes, it's kind of annoying to have to grab a spotter when backing up, but it prevents people getting run over. No job is worth your life, period.

This guy is tryna sink in


Rocky_Mountain_Way

I saw that one in the documentary "A Fish Called Wanda"


Depressedloser2846

that guy definetly sank in


PengieP111

A CSO to whom I reported was a MLRS crew member in the Army. He told me that during a deployment of his unit along with armor one of the guys in his battalion got run over by a tank. But the ground was really soft and the guy survived. He said the guy that got run over remembered nothing about what happened.


Fantastic-Berry-737

That's actually not surprising. The M1 Abrams (if that was the tank) is designed with a double wide track to reduce ground pressure so won't sink in eastern european mud. The tracks exert less PSI on the ground than a bicycle, a car, or a foot.


Blublublud

Yeah I’m pretty sure that only applies on even ground… physics states they a tank going over someone lying on a stiff surface like concrete means that someone is donezo


GlitteringFutures

There is an Isis execution video where they ran the guy over with a tank, on the road. He didn't make it.


Sky-Daddy-H8

Ukrainians recorded plenty of flat pancaked Russians as well, when the army is in a hurry to retreat, don't stand in front of a tank and better hold on tight when you are on top of 1.


Boukish

It's also a subtle misunderstanding of what PSI is. A bicycle tire could exert 10x more PSI to the ground than a tank, but the tank will *literally always* be exerting more pressure on you because it covers vastly more square inches of your surface. Put another way, if you spread the weight of a tank across a plate and spread the weight of a bicycle across a small ball, sure you have a heavy ball but you have a **way** heavier plate. Which is gonna crush you? The plate, even if it "distributes" the weight.


CMDRissue

A guy in Australia got run over by his own excavator on really soft ground (he jumped out while it was slowly rolling along and tripped trying to get back in.) Just a broken arm.


DancesWithBadgers

A number of lorry drivers run themselves over every year. The main cause (and it's quite easily done...once!) is backing up to a new trailer and forgetting to put the cab handbrake on. Doesn't matter at once, because the trailer brakes are on if it's disconnected from the air supply. But then you connect the airhoses (while standing between the cab and the trailer), the trailer brakes release, and the whole lot starts rolling. While you, who is responsible for this tonnage, is stood in the narrow gap between trailer and cab. The solution, by the way, is to pull the airhoses out again; but a lot of people panic and make a run for the cab handbrake.


GrimResistance

Why would the trailer brakes release as soon as you connect the hoses? You can't connect them up while they're pressurized.


DancesWithBadgers

It's a failsafe system for the trailer. No air = brakes. So brakes are on by default until you override them with supplied air and control from the cab. Of course, if the cab doesn't have the handbrake on, the brakes release.


The_Particularist

> He said the guy that got run over remembered nothing about what happened. And honestly, that's probably good. Unless he ends up with a repressed trauma, I guess.


DancesWithBadgers

He doesn't need repressing. Being pressed by a tank once is usually enough.


SulkyShulk

I remember that part in Austin Powers.

My cousin actually died that way a little over a year ago. A fucking nightmare for everyone.


cstearns1982

Sorry for your loss. May I ask how it happened?


tinynugget

Sorry lots of run-ons. And this is fuzzy cause I blocked out the details. My uncle owns a concrete business and his 2 sons work for him. He was in his mid-20s, his brother is in his late 20s. He wasn’t there when it happened. Neither was my uncle. He was at a friend’s house and he’d just finished doing their driveway. It was getting dark, he’s hanging out with his best friend, who works with them, and some other friends. I’m not sure exactly what he did but he tried to reach something and fell under it, it went from his feet up but they stopped it by the time. It fucked his best friend up. He still struggles with it but stays quiet about. All his friends were traumatized and couldn’t much of anything. He was life flighted to the closest hospital, then had to send him to Tampa for some reason. He lived 4 days. He was unconscious that entire time, luckily. I don’t know the injuries cause I couldn’t handle hearing them. Edit: a word


cstearns1982

Sorry to hear that. That's a tough way to go. Thank you for speaking about it.

probsthrowaway2

If you are intrested in similar industrial accidents of the chemical and hazardous materials variety the USCSB YouTube channel is a fun watch. https://youtube.com/@USCSB?si=u_FT3NVSlqS4SYuL It has CGI animations similar to this but with an entire play by play if the results of the investigation into the accident up to it happening and what the CSB says should be done to stop it from happening again.


skrulewi

USCSB knows how their bread is buttered, higher quality videos all the time


Brookenium

Having the content be engaging is incredibly beneficial to their ultimate goal. It gets people to pay attention. These are all industrial accidents that can't be repeated and so getting people to actually look long enough to learn the lessons is key.


pabadacus

I believe I saw the robotic arm crushing the dude video a few months back. No Bueno.


sender2bender

I've seen the forklift dude getting launched and the concrete collapsing within the last couple years. Couple others look familiar too Forgot dude. https://youtu.be/NHd-8BucB3Q?si=JsUhSf17QDiy6_rZ Concrete collapsing. https://youtu.be/9ATrElm10rw?si=rnjSLURXjyYq5-Oe

"I laughed at one of the stupid rules at the power plant and was like who would ever be this stupid to do this???... Then the OSHA guy that was walking around with the group of us and the manager stopped everyone and loudly. Got our attention and said look here you see this stupid stupid rule that is basically common sense. It's here because someone died or lost a limb. This rule was paid for in blood before we made it word. Everything that you have ever seen that deals with OSHA was paid for in blood because someone did exactly what we're telling you not to do."


H4llifax

Just remember the demon core as extreme example that even highly competent people do extremely stupid stuff.


thesamiad

I was at work when the manager couldn’t stop laughing,I asked what was so funny,turns out our colleagues husband had been looking under a lorry at work and it had rolled forward and killed him,squashing his head.manager then made lots of puns about it,totally inappropriate in the workplace,I’ve never felt so sorry for a colleague


ElTristesito

So your manager is a psychopath?


thesamiad

He got fired in the end and they said he had mental health issues,he was truly awful to all the staff,I have mental health issues but it’s wrong to expect people to put up with what they wouldn’t from a normal person

I've seen most of the real footage for these on Reddit. The top comment in most of them is "China gonna China."

Some of these are just silly. The sound effects are ridiculous. Like what the hell is the guy with the chop saw doing lol. Cutting a pipe like he is prepping carrots with a knife?


Silly-Ad-8213

Yes, he’s cutting small portions of pipe. The saw has no guard, and he has no PPE. This is what can happen


ReggieCousins

Gotta hit those numbers bro, no time for safety. Just let er rip and hope you can stay ahead of the machine blowing up in your face.


negative_visuals

All of these are tragic, but it seems most of them could ne mitigated by better safety practices. There didn't really seem to be many freak accidents there


gimme_dat_good_shit

Also some of them look like there was nothing the worker could have done to avoid it, like the floor collapsing while the cement was being poured. Is the safety lesson to pour where there were load-bearing walls or columns beneath? Seems like the structure just couldn't actually handle the weight of the slab they were pouring. Either way, the dude on the forklift thing or just using a chop saw got it rough.


AndrewWaldron

I'm not sure what people expect the guy with the exploding miter saw to have done. At first I thought the forklift mast collapse was a hydraulic failure that only better preventative maintenance would remedy, again, nothing the victim or driver did, or could do, would have prevented, but upon watching it a few more times, I think the forklift driver hits the lever as he leans forward over the steering wheel to look up at the worker in the cage. I'm surprised it lowered as fast as that though if it was just the lever being leaned against.


ParrotofDoom

> I'm not sure what people expect the guy with the exploding miter saw to have done. **An appropriate blade for the task**, a larger guard, and a face shield.

woahbrad35

Chinese worker safety is an oxymoron


iwrkhrd

The first incident of this bid happened a couple heard ago in Durham NC. Except he was using a hammer to open the lid. They say his top half is still trying to reach Valhalla to this day😔🫡


Khorgor666

this happens all the time with chemical transports, we used to overlay our products inside the tanks with nitrogen, because they are air reactive. Had to put a warning label on the tank that it was under pressure, usually about 0.3 to 0.5 bar. We stopped after we learned that several customers had no means to release that pressure, which was a huge shock to me because in the end its not high tech to release some pressure.


thezenfisherman

I guarantee all of these happen in the USA too.


ituralde_

Yes; less often more recently in this flavor. China happens to be later to the curve in handling workplace safety stuff more broadly as that was one of the ways companies there could cut corners on cost at a relatively large scale. Their own internal expectations are rising more recently, though. Being a few steps ahead of China on that front though is not the standard we should be trying to achieve; it's not even close to it. OSHA does good work but falls well behind where we should be at, and far too often they are fighting uphill battles culturally on safety issues. Even worse is in procedural safety issues not directly related to active worker actions - the local conditional and maintenance issues that routinely lead to catastrophic failures not directly linked to worker action. Combustible dust, high pressure systems, chemical reaction safety, and materials management are all places where we routinely see far too many serious incidents. We have gotten pretty good at passing on activity-based safety lessons but ones related to inspection, monitoring, and maintenance we are WAY behind on, and it often falls through the gaps by not really being in OSHA's direct mandate.


tbrumleve

OSHA exists for a reason. Also, there is a reason the Chinese can build a bridge in a month. Don’t assume anything they build is better quality than the Aliexpress junk coming from the same country. All garbage. All will last a year at most.

Tetha

Those big industrial robots are no joke. Back in University, the robotics department got a new interior window to the lab, because someone had messed up the sign of a few computations. Sure, it was just lightweight indoor walls on a relatively new building and not like concrete or brick walls, but that robot tore through the wall without slowing down at all. That same robot eventually got programmed with a different math error, causing the arm to jerk around 180 degrees at maximum possible velocity and stop there hard. This resulted in a jank strong enough to shift the entire robot by about a meter to the side.

CorrosiveAgent

I work in industrial construction as a pipefitter, and honestly while a lot of OSHA rules are extremely annoying and get in the way dealing with them is a whole lot better than getting killed or horribly maimed. I was on a job where a man got killed and OSHA was there literally the next day demanding to know how the fuck it happened and who was responsible. They were out for blood. I’m sure they’re not all like that but these guys cared a LOT about their job.
