      I think it’s perfectly reasonable to be horrified at things like OSHA going away with the current state of the U.S. federal govt.

      lemmy in general isn’t that great when it comes to memes, fun, etc

      everyone’s too focused on ideology or whatever

      Yeah anyone who can do this IRL understands the danger of doing this IRL. No one who has a forklift operator license is so stupid as to not get what those machines can do.

      And if anyone thinks safety people never hamstring operations over silly ideas of risk, or turn into little dictators feeding their egos, think again.

      I think of them as an extension of HR. Their purpose is to protect companies.

      Some of their more asinine findings are merely efforts to show they’re being productive; companies expect returns in all things.
