35 OSHA Fails That Are Equal Parts Funny And Unbelievably Dumb (September 17, 2024)

When it comes to safety, there’s nothing more important than following the rules. But sometimes, people throw caution to the wind and create situations so ridiculous that even OSHA would have to laugh (or cry).

From balancing ladders on questionable surfaces to makeshift scaffolding that looks like it belongs in a cartoon, these funny OSHA fails show what happens when common sense takes a break.

Sure, safety is no joke, but these OSHA fails are so absurd, they’re bound to make you chuckle—and maybe wonder how anyone thought these were good ideas in the first place.
