    I do the lockout tagout training at work and I always used to play a video that showed a very bad fake still of a man getting squished but now I can't find it

    Complacency in the workplace is a killer. I have to wear fall protection quite often, and while no one has died from falling in my company we dont scoff it off.

    Hell we had an employee take a lost time injury from walking - he didn't have proper boots on and walked into a steel plate that was leaning up on the edge of a curb - plate slipped off curb - plate crushed toes. He did not take the safety training videos seriously.

    Why are you always so wrong Guartz.

    L’Oréal comes out as pro-pollution as it's "good for business."

    “When you live in a city your skin, your hair is challenged more than if you were living in a rural area, so you need more shampoos, conditioners, skin care, hydrating creams, anti-UV, etc. Urban life means more socialization, and more socialization means more beauty consumption.”
    They also are targeting millennials with products to help them look like their favorite Instagram or Snapchat filter.

    “The more you make yourself look really great online,” he said, “the more you have to work on yourself when you go out, because if, when people meet you, they discover that you are completely different from what they thought, then you have a problem.

    If they want to use filters to look better online, they have to do something in real life also to look better, and that is why they use more cosmetics, more makeup, more skin care, more everything.”

    https://www.npr.org/2019/09/16/75371...mart-in-1-year

    NPR has been tracking price increases brought upon by Trump's tariffs through Walmart.


    Spoiler: show





    In August 2018, NPR began tracking how those tariffs might trickle down to shoppers at the world's largest retail store chain — Walmart. Since then, every few months we've checked prices of about 80 products at one Walmart in Liberty County, Ga., with tariffs in mind.

    But prices are complicated. They don't automatically rise with tariffs.

    In fact, shoppers are only starting to feel tariffs. Last year, the Trump administration specifically targeted industrial materials and parts, rather than consumer products, to avoid shocking Americans with price hikes. The new rounds kicking in this month and in December will more directly affect a lot more of the things people buy every day, such as shoes, clothes and electronics.

    When it comes to the prices inside NPR's tariff-inspired shopping cart, the average price change since August 2018 was a 3% increase. That's almost double the current rate of inflation.

    It is important to note that some prices actually declined. The two most expensive Chinese-made items in NPR's basket got cheaper: a TV by 12% and a microwave by 17%. That's because TVs and other electronics have been getting cheaper for years.

    Tariffs are only part the story. Prices go up and down for a variety of reasons. For example, Procter & Gamble last year raised prices on Charmin toilet paper and Bounty paper towels — noticeable in NPR's shopping cart — because of higher costs of transport and raw materials such as paper pulp.

    for every stupid ass training video you sit through, someone did something and got fucked up enough where they had to make a training course to cover it because people get distracted or don't pay attention and get fucked up.
    Regulations are written in blood. No matter how dumb they seem, they exist because someone somewhere needed to be told how to not grievously injure themselves.

    I have to laugh at my work's new building how much of a safety clusterfuck it is. We don't have pull-down fire alarms or panic buttons (We grab a phone, call the guard, who initiates whatever emergency protocols... I guess, I don't know.) We haven't made a proper evacuation plan in event of a fire or earthquake including clearing each room to account for any trapped individuals. Areas that should be inaccessible for employees can be accessed without a key card. Inconsistent PPE standards because "This isn't dangerous" mentality. Rusty water coming out of eye wash stations. Parking lot lights were dead for 2 whole day/night cycles and at least one person almost got ran over by a speeding car in the parking lot because idiots dodge speed bumps to get to their parking space even faster.

    Oh and people have been working in there for 6 months now. Fortunately, the only OSHA reportable was someone falling down the stairs spraining or breaking something. We got a safety bulletin about that to hold the rail and don't text and traverse stairs.

    I think what really grinds my gears are the shoe standards. I guess you can have shoes with the entire top of the foot exposed as long as the toe and heel are covered. I'm still waiting for the chemical or liquid nitrogen spill that burns someone's foot.

    Every time some asshat whines about too much regulation I try and describe stuff like this, or major industrial dumping, or pollution over LA in the 70, as perfect examples of why you need regulation and laws to protect people, both from themselves and the negligence/greed of others. I hadn't seen such a disturbing example of why regulation isn't always a bad thing until now though. If you don't know what you're looking at to see what happened to these poor bastards it just looks like the video was paused...

    Yeah, that pisses me off as well.

    California Gov. Newsom signs into law that makes companies treat independent contractors as employees with such benefits like sick leave, paid time off, and health benefits.

    The tech industry led by Uber, Lyft, and Doordash are proposing placing a ballot measure to either repeal the law or make it easier to gain exemptions.
