Not saying where I work b.c I might get in trouble but our safety rules are nuts . Today I almost got a one and done for standing on an edge with a ten foot drop without a safety harness. But I can climb a tower crane 1,119 feet in the air while leaning over a rail with nothing below me besides a long fall and ground while changing a light. Does anyone else think this is crazy or it just me ?
The place I work is about to "safety" itself right out of business 
It is crazy. I have a very good idea where you work. I can see it from where I work right next to the Robinson off ramp. It is crazy the way safety is and our company safety guy says it is going to get worse! The reflective vests are the most ignorant thing I have ever seen. I was working in the middle of the roof the other day with our crew and we were forced to stop because the edge of the roof was open. After and hour and a half delay and some caution tape and studs placed around the perimeter it was deemed safe. Lol! I know a guy that got kicked off your job for dropping a hand tool down a chase from the second to first floor. Generally safety is only at the contractors convenience not yours.
You have no comprehension of how strict safety rules are until youve worked on offshore drilling platforms off the coast of CA. You couldnt sneeze without a JSA.
That, and if you get hurt while breaking a safety policy they can just fire you and not worry about the bill. Lame, but they are just trying to cover their butt.
Same at our place all new hires spend the first two weeks in saftey training. You can thank mr books and his colleagues, got to protect the morons from themselves.
People are going to do whatever they want no matter what safety issues there are or laws in place. Like you said you can't protect people from themselves.
Nope, it is all about the safety rules from the government and the blood sucking lawyers.
