Let me be clear: I’ve worked for chickenshit outfits like this before, where safety was an afterthought, so I can appreciate and relate to these stories.
That said, these all take the cake. Like I have seen and done some really sketchy shit, and these all top most of my stories.
I used to work 16+ hour days, stand in a dump trailer (confined space sort of), in the dark, and have a tractor lift 1 tonne bags of pellets into the trailer, open them (working under a suspended load), and dump the contents at my feet. The bags sometimes ripped from their hooks on the tractor and would come down fast.
