I Work In A Tire Warehouse And It’s Dangerous

I recently started working in a tire warehouse. They are extremely short staff with six employees on any given shift. Part of my job is placing the tires in assigned areas on racks. About 100 feet up in the air. The employees are fast and loose, dismissive and near spiteful of OSHA regulations. I've been asked to walk into the shelving that has bottoms like any other bottoms of racks you'd see in a store. I've been asked by managers to walk on top of the shelves which have no guard rails to place tires on top. I use an order selector machine that carries a pallet and have been told to walk on it. They gaslight, gaslight, and gaslight when I've raised objections about rule violations. I doubt any of them even know what OSHA stands for. They make wild claims about what I mentioned being condoned by OSHA.…

Tl:dr Warehouse workers walk on pallets for order pickers, walk on top of the shelves more than 100 feet in the air with no guard rails, walk around in shelving while hauling big ass tires, and claim it's in line with OSHA.
