Employees who think safety procedures don’t apply to them

The safety of their workers in the workplace is very important for all employers. Companies will spend an incredible amount of time, money, and resources ensuring that their employees can do their jobs safely.

No matter what safety procedures a company puts in place, there will always be those employees who for some reason just won’t follow them. We’ve put together a list of employees who just won’t follow the safety procedures!

Hang In There

This would not be in the health and safety training.

While the sign appears to have a screw loose, these workers might also need their screws tightened for thinking this was the right way to go about this.

Stuck In Limbo

“What should we do with these old monitors before they take them away for new ones?” “Let’s stack them together and see who can limbo under it.”

This is the type of conversation we imagine led to this.

Balancing Act

It’s one thing if you’re standing on something that’s sturdy to reach something high up.

But nothing about this picture looks very structurally sound and the safety harness doesn’t appear to be attached to anything.

Jenga-Like Skills

As much as this picture looks incredibly unsafe, it’s also rather impressive that it’s still standing.

This would take some serious skill to have all of that balanced. We would not want to play this person in Jenga.

Linked Together

Everyone has cut corners a little bit to get a job done quicker.

This patch job looks pretty unsafe and we’re not even sure if it would hold up long enough to get to the final destination.

Sparking Interest

This has all the makings of a project that is going to end with a bang.

Based on the number of sparks near the highly flammable canisters, you’ll want to be very far away when it goes off.

Weld Would You Look At That

Having the right tools goes a long way to doing a job properly.

As a worker, having the proper safety tools is even more important. We’re not exactly sure if this would get a safety seal of approval.

Just A Quick Cut

There’s being a good coworker and then there is this worker.

He is putting a lot of faith into the hands of the person with the saw. This is probably not what he meant when he said that he’d always have his back.

Tangled Mess

Whoever did this job was not concerned at all about doing things to code or to safety standards.

We feel bad for the person who came along and had to clean up this tangled mess.

Getting To The Next Level

What do you do when your small forklift doesn’t reach high enough?

This group of workers decided that lifting a smaller forklift up with the bigger one was the simplest answer to that question.

Watch Your Step

This worker is really tempting fate by balancing on the curved window cover.

What is even more puzzling is that they are just a couple of feet away from the more stable-looking ladder.

Two Ladders, One Bad Decision

The shortest distance between two points is always a straight line.

This person is stretching out to reach the roof and not concerned that the safer option would’ve been to climb down one ladder and climb back up the other one.

Huddle For Safety

There had to have been a safer way for all of these people to get onto the ship.

This method leaves us wondering how they are going to get the supplies loaded onto the ship.

Helping Hand

No matter which way we look at this picture, we’re convinced that this was a bad idea from the get-go.

This person should be very thankful that his coworkers were there to stop him from falling.

“That Should Hold”

In the dead heat of the summer, you will do almost anything to keep your house as cool as possible.

This person even went so far as to balance the air conditioner on a single piece of wood.

Tennis Ball Corner Cutting

This person is not exactly serving up an ace with their attempt at separating the wires.

We are hoping that this was just a brief patch job to hold them over until they were able to get the right materials for the job.

Using What You Have

Sometimes you start a project knowing that you can’t afford the proper materials.

No matter what led them to have to use these materials, you have to give them credit for sticking with it.

A Step In Some Direction

There are attachments that you can get to help you use a ladder on a set of stairs.

These three do not seem too concerned with that and appear to be happy with just holding it up themselves.
