• O.H.S gone too far?
    12 replies, posted
I'm doing some research and was wondering what you guys thought about Occupational Health and Safety going too far, for example, I've seen an electrician pull out a 3-step step ladder with the top two rungs painted red, I asked him why they were painted accordingly and he said, under the new O.H.S requirements the top rungs of EVERY ladder must be painted red/ yellow and must not be stood on. So all he can do is get an extra 30cm in the air. Personally i think this is stupid. Does anyone else have any stories similar to this where O.H.S has gone too far or 'failed' as it were? The Occupational Health and Safety act is laws and regulations in Australia guiding what is and isn't safe in the work place. If there is something similar to this in America or other country's please let me know. But post what you think or experiences.
This would be a general discussion thread. GD is for posting shit about politics, stuff that happened IRL, cool new things and shit. This is not a "Post Your" thread.
actually, it is.
I think it is, as I am asking you to post similar instances.
This is GD shit and you know it. All you're doing is forcing us into discussion about some weird topic. Fast threads is for shit like "Post some porn!", "Have you seen the above user on Facepunch before?", or "What's the best laser light I can get for <$50?" BTW shit about standards for ladders isn't a good topic for a thread
Most of the stuff they make is for your own safety, But i agree with you, they sometimes go to far.

Why the hell would my posts belong in the OIFY? btw the oify dosen't like me that much anyway. [editline]01:03AM[/editline] Seriously, why the hell would you make a "Post Your" thread about your OHS shit. All you're doing is explaining some shit about this OHS thing and then basically telling us to discuss about it.

*sighs* this is a really shitty idea for a 'post your' thread
[QUOTE=Aurora93;16730935]*sighs* this is a really shitty idea for a 'post your' thread[/QUOTE] Its not an idea, I am doing research and wondering what other people think.
