I have – twice! The first time was when I was working for a company that had security cameras in the hallways that monitored employees at all times when not at their desks. The only problem for them was that we would just turn the light switch off, rendering the cameras useless. They didn’t like that so they duct taped the switch in the ON position. I sent OSHA a little note about it (obvious fire hazard) and the next day a team of 4 government people descended on the place checking every single thing in the whole building, issuing many fines. My employers were pissed!!
The second time was waiting tables. The restaurant used ancient trays that were so worn down on the edges they had exposed fiberglass. The food particles would get into the broken parts of the trays and fester, then that would touch our arms and give us crazy rashes. I still have eczema from it to this day. Called OSHA on them, who made them throw away ALL of their trays, plates, and plastic cups. They, too, we’re absolutely PISSED.
Anyone else got any good OSHA stories? It’s the best way to f*** with an employer aside from time theft.
