It’s no secret that health and safety precautions are crucial at work. However, often employers and their employees tend to overlook it, showing complete disregard for personal safety. We’re talking about worn tires, unsecured loads on vehicles, clutter blocking fire exits, incorrect placement of ladders; the list goes on. There’s a place on the Internet that brings attention to such hazards with a touch of humor.

The subreddit r/OSHA is named after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and their community description reminds you: “Safety first!”. More than 762K members are sharing photos of people who are walking on thin ice and pushing their luck while doing everyday tasks at work.

Bored Panda collected some of the best images from this online group that will make you laugh and roll your eyes. After you’re done enjoying this, make sure to have a look through our previous posts about the legendary subreddit right here, here, and here.
