As a safety guy myself.. I appreciate this. Sometimes I’ll do it deliberately to see if anyone calls me out on it. Almost always works and I thank them all the same. And yes,we’re all supposed to be our brothers keeper.
Hey buddy! I’m the one that told you the story about me getting cut with the demo saw a few months ago. (LinoelRichiesCrackPipe). Well we had another incident. I’m a Hoe Operator now and about 2 months ago I was setting a precast storm manhole (6’x6’) about 12ft deep. I picked it, swung it in the hole for a preset before we cut the last joint of pipe. They got their measurement so I was going to pull the box out, I boomed up and started swinging, as soon as the front edge cleared my top bench the manhole completely fell apart. The base (roughly 1800lbs) rolled back down in the hole and I was left with the 3 walls just hanging on my spreader cables. I started crying before I even looked down in the hole but I know somebody had to be seriously injured or dead. Thank god no one was hurt. Ended up there was one single piece of rebar in that entire structure. Be safe out there fellas, manufacturers are penny pinching and cutting corners to save a buck. That’s the stuff that gets people killed
That’s what you should do to people on the site even if you’re not the safety guy. It’s really about watching out for each other. It takes 1 second for everything to go to hell. I work for a company in hazmat emergency response with bosses that get that. If you call out a higher up for slipping on proper PPE in the field they’ll actually be like dammit you’re right. It’s all about the delivery of the message on how people take it really.
Man, it must be nice to be able to call a higher up on something like this... my boss has cussed me out, & made me leave location for calling him out. The oilfield sure has changed
I busted our head shop foreman under a trailer one time without a flag on top of said trailer. It felt great seein as how they pushed safety the way they did, but I do get it
A good safety guy trains and expects accountability at every level. He busted me because I was not in compliance. He did a good job and I thanked him for caring about my safety. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting.
I'm the safety manager (somehow I fell into this position, I hate it) these bright individuals put me on a safety card for no hardhat because mine fell off into the acid pit. I guess next time I'll put mine back on acid and all and give the company the medical bill right?? I even had to impute the safety card into the system on myself... wtf!??
I worked at a cefco over nights. My manager asked me to go fill in at another store overnight for a couple of days. The manager at the other store asked me to clean her office on the first night so I was more then happy to do so. Well she left and I get to cleaning her office and I found a meth pipe she had left on her desk with the meth. I called our district manager and informed her about it. So our district manager came in at 4 a.m. already pissed off. And my shift ended at 5 a.m. when the managers are supposed to come in and do a shift change. So our district manager waited in the back to listen to the conversation I had when the manager lady showed up at 6 a.m. I asked her how come she was late? She told me she had some issues in the morning. I said, yeah I'd have issues to if I was using meth. She instantly started cussing me out and that's when our district manager made her presence known and fired that manager on the spot. I proceeded to run that store for about a month until they got a new manager in.
ב''ה, worth a chuckle, but also worth noting that while sort of a consumable item, we all know even comfortable safety lenses often scratch and fogged if looked at funny, while some of the curved designs distort in a way that's terrible if you're already up against astigmatism. Been stuck with the same prescription lenses for almost a decade now and while not cheap, durability is a solved problem for those lens materials and would less disrupt the vision that safety eyewear is supposed to protect. If only all this healthcare spending actually made such readily available for occupational health, but 🤡 world.
No, As a matter of fact he was held in higher regard, he had always been safety conscious, and he was flourishing in his position. He is a super guy, quiet, conscience, and talented. This was his first experience with a crane and in less than desirable conditions. I think I posted a drone flyover of the project in progress. Best Regards, Scott
The "Safety Guy" for the company I work for LITERALLY said "I don't know why I'm the Safety Guy, I don't know anything." Like, TF. He's a pretty cool dude though.
What a shitty job, perfect for those with the tyrrant mentality... the only drawback is having to prove everyday after your first day that you are required...that's when you become a totally annoyance and detriment to the work site. But hey what do you care???
Our safety was a certified cross dresser, and we let him know that we know everytime his fruity ass walk on our site. 9/10, safety guys are a waste of money, put in that position purely by nepotism.
I work in the copper mines I busted 2 safety guys here 1 climbed onto an un isolated belt because he didn't want to walk around then I caught the guy who replaced him smoking up against a fuel tank while filling up is company side by side
Shoot..we had a safety guy call out a supervisor who was the son of a manager for deliberately walking through Red Zones and the safety guy was fired for calling out the managers son. Supervisors told us to mind our own business with certain people.
I believe I would be willing to loose my job for a clear conscious. I had a team member one time refuse to allow the owner into a regulated zone, ppir guy didn't know he was the owner. The owner left, got an authorized person to escort him into the area. When the guy figured out he kept the owner out her was a little nervous to say the least. The owner was at the next morning PTP/Safety meeting. He called the employee by name, you could hear a pin drop, and the owner thanked the for protecting him and bought him lunch...that set the tone for that project and all future projects, best corporate move I've ever seen...moral, productivity and safety , all took a bump to the positive.
You may be correct, however OSHA defers to company policy, and in this case it was company policy for glasses to be worn at all times on company job sites while participating in tasks. Anyway, my objective was/is creating a safety culture. Thanks for commenting 🙂
@@middleclassbubba5876OSHA doesn't defer to company policy. But company policy may 'add to' OSHA laws. When a company does make such a policy, it becomes enforceable by OSHA.
Remember when men where men and just went to work and worked an 8hr day. Now an 8 hr day lucky if you work 5 with all the safety bullshit. If you can't see someone without a hi visit maybe you should find a new career. Or don't drive heavy machinery.
I've got more s*** in my eyes wearing safety glasses than not never have I seen it cutting wheel explode nor have I had a grinding just come apart on me although the one I'm using now is missing a great great opportunity to do so will it I doubt it I'll burn it up just like I did the one before it 35 years I've been doing this I've seen more people hurt on job sites with all this safety BS tie off I doubt it Slide the ladder down the beam highly likely Walk The Bean even higher it's like this there was 5 people died building the Empire State Building the Twin Towers had 60 people died that's 55 people dead that didn't have to die Empire State Building not one tied off not one go figure
I've had the pleasure of being among the company of men who do work within America's infrastructure, namely union jobs, and I have seen first hand exactly why things are so expensive and time consuming. Reasons? Simple.. literally %75 of the costs go to pay the salary's of men who do absolutely NOTHING. "Warm bodies". Literally paid to do nothing. Useless. Whenever your driving past a construction or work site and you see a group of men standing there doing absolutely nothing, chances are THATS ALL THEY DO EVER. And rest assured they are there holding whatever title they may have, due to laws, rules and regulations passed by lawmakers that have been lobbied by Union reps. It's one big unfunny joke.
That's the whole reason Breadstick Ricky goes to work, lookin to bust the safety man!!
Glad I'm not the only one thinking about bread stick ricky
It takes a Big Man to humble himself and admit when he’s wrong. Leadership by Example.
Thanks for your comments
Thanks
what if the camera wasn't there?

Thank you for your comments. Safety should be a culture of accountability
Man,
I love it.
That's funny,
I don't care who you are.😀
Do you send yourself home for 3 days for repeat violations?
@@Tarakian1999 there’s an idea lol
@@Tarakian1999 I guess, me claiming to be a "Safety Guy", I would just have fire myself
Holy shit it’s rosco in real life
Rosco Killed the safety-man and took his Job!
If roscoe was trying to not get fired or Osha is there.
now he needs to write his own ass up

Great Channel, loves the way he parodies the attitudes and antics found on job sites.

Had you had a safety clip that held your hard hat to your person it wouldn't have fallen off now would it have? Huh genius?
It’s going to happen it’s inevitable, just hope you have that one guy that can call you out 😂

That was one of the funniest things about my old job was catching the safety man off guard at the end of the day we used to tell him we're all human
I got superintendant front of a meeting and called him out about safety
Legend has it Ben no longer worked there after this day.
No,
As a matter of fact he was held in higher regard, he had always been safety conscious, and he was flourishing in his position. He is a super guy, quiet, conscience, and talented. This was his first experience with a crane and in less than desirable conditions.

And ignored him walking under a suspended crane
Safety guys should have to walk around with orange strobe lights on their hardhats so we can see them coming!

Yeah put your SAFTEY glasses on so you can't see a damn thing!
When I was mining I caught my safety officer smoking by the fuel truck of all things. He told me that his job is downforce the rules for me not him
Share safety glasses and spread pink eye!
See today's video

Safety rules are absolutely fine, as long as they apply to EVERYONE on the job.
That's what's required in a true safety culture...

The safety glasses prevent you from seeing in the fog or the rain then they're not safe at all

We have to hold each other accountable.
If I see the safety guy being unsafe in my vicinity, I start being unsafe. I don’t say shit.

@@middleclassbubba5876 real stand up people, it takes courage to correct a mistake and it's admirable plus it inspires.
There is no legit requirement to wear safety glasses to observe crane operations. Hard hat yes. Eye protection no.
