Donald Trump’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration wants to exclude “inherently risky professions,” including those in sports and entertainment, from basic workplace safety protections. The rollback could affect hundreds of thousands of workers.
The thing that pisses me off is that yeah, safety is always going to be annoying and systems of safety are always going to be annoying. So what… they keep people safe…
You know what is annoying? Shoring up the wall to a dirt pit being dug on a construction site. You know what will kill you faster than you can possibly imagine? An unshored dirt wall collapsing onto you, it really doesn’t take much and geez how many construction sites are behind schedule and could really use that extra squeeze of productivity to just cut that safety corner just this one time (like the last time which was only one time).
Oh well, can’t look weak or afraid to the boys so just suck it up and hope you don’t get unlucky! If you said anything you might get fired for “other” reasons right?
