Something Tells Me That’s Not Up To Code (25 OSHA Fails)

OSHA fails are great examples of what NOT to do at work. We all cut corners sometimes but people like this are the reason we even need OSHA.

I haven’t had a “real job” in years. I’ve been working from home ever since and OSHA fails aren’t a thing in my apartment. Workplace safety for me is making sure my coffee isn’t anywhere near my keyboard or at least putting a lid on it.
