Today is January 7th, the day when the SCOTUS decides on the OSHA Clot Shot Mandates. Gut feeling is that they have to strike these tyrannical mandates down for many reasons, but extraordinarily stupid things has happened in the past and especially in the recent past, so I will not be surprised (still be very upset) if OSHA's tyranny is allowed to stand for reasons stupid and asinine.
Either way, please pray for the fate of this nation, for it hangs in this very day.
The only true ending is OSHA is completely dismantled. It's a slush fund
The fact that they pushed masks on workers like myself when they know they don't work, even against larger debris like asbestos, is criminal.
Class action their asses out of existence of this mandate goes through. Even if it doesn't.
What you're describing is bureaucratic creep and applies to government and big corporations as well. Rules/laws are added each year, but very few ever go away. Eventually, no matter what you do, you're breaking a rule/law.
New OSHA employees come in and justify their job by making up new rules. Over time it becomes more of a burden to the workers they claim to protect than what protection they provide.
Oh you're right on.
The best was I was on a scissor lift. About ten feet high. The OSHA guy came in and told me to tie off to the lift. It is not required on scissor lifts under a certain height because they have... Gates around it!
I was forced to leave the job site.
Another instance the guy cut my cord mid cut on a chop saw because it had electrical tape around it in a spot. Causing the blade to kick up the heavy gauge stud I was cutting.
Idiots
thats the thing that gets me, sometimes its more dangerous to set up the safety harness ,like when you have to go up to the peak of the roof to attach a harness hookup. think about it osha someone has to go up there without a harness you dum dums ,tehn again to disconnect it
