I tell employers how to prevent their workers from getting killed, and of they don't listen, I tell the government to make sure the employer can't work like that.

And most of the workers find me annoying for it.

This is actually one of the things that would confuse a 1700 person the most. Why would the government care about the lives of workers?

Ouch. No, workplace safety

sorry, it was a bit low. Have a good day, safety man!

You absolutely do not have to answer. But do you work for OSHA?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I do workplace safety, just not in the US. So, kind of.
