“When OSHA Show Up Too Late At The Job Site.”

“As an OSHA inspector arrives on-site, they spot a worker deep in a 20 to 30-foot trench laying pipes with zero safety precautions in place. With no proper shoring, trench box, or protective measures, the situation is a disaster waiting to happen. The inspector immediately informs the worker that he shouldn’t be down there due to extreme risk—but will the worker take it seriously, or will they brush it off like ‘just another day on the job’? Watch this intense yet eye-opening moment unfold!”

10 Things to Know About Laying Pipe Safely and Efficiently
1. Always Follow Trench Safety Regulations – Trenches deeper than 5 feet require protective systems like shoring, sloping, or a trench box to prevent collapses.
2. Check for Underground Utilities – Always call 811 before digging to locate gas, water, and electrical lines and avoid costly or dangerous mistakes.
3. Use Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – Wear hard hats, steel-toe boots, gloves, and high-visibility vests to protect against falling objects and hazardous materials.
4. Monitor for Hazardous Atmospheres – Deep trenches can accumulate toxic gases or lack oxygen, so air monitoring may be necessary before entering.
5. Ensure Proper Pipe Alignment – Pipes must be leveled and properly connected to avoid leaks, breaks, or long-term structural issues.
6. Know Your Backfill Process – Backfilling too soon or with improper materials can damage pipes and cause future failures in the system.
7. Use the Right Pipe Material for the Job – Choose materials like PVC, HDPE, ductile iron, or concrete based on the type of fluid being transported and environmental conditions.
8. Keep Heavy Equipment at a Safe Distance – Machinery like excavators should be kept at least 2 feet away from trench edges to prevent collapses.
9. Follow OSHA’s “Competent Person” Rule – A trained supervisor must inspect trenches daily to identify hazards and ensure safety compliance.
10. Stay Aware of Weather Conditions – Rain can make trenches unstable, increasing the risk of collapses, so work should stop if conditions become unsafe.

"Well, he can't be down there!"


Instantly proves why

[realjasonu]

This is the best OSHA ad I’ve ever seen

[moosemcguirk]

Never sacrifice nor compromise your safety for any company. Not even your own. Your family needs you more. OSHA RULES SAVES LIVES. Work wise

[dallas]

When OSHA shows up it automatically turns into OSHIT!!😂😂

[volcryndarkstar]

OSHA: "You can't be down there"
Earth: "Oh right!" **falls**

[jeffnavarro]

As a former acoustical engineer, I can say that OSHA saves lives. Site director came and told me that I was wearing improper headgear one day after OSHA did a walk through and the next day a metal slab of 40 lbs landed Square on my forehead it would have killed me if not for OSHA demanding I wear better helmets

Edit:To Clarify, I was just wearing a Cap, not a hardhat before this. Young and dumb.

[WESTCOAST_JAYZ]

Smh wow, no shoring is insane especially in that dept ! Hope that guy is ok

[Ferriscoolerglobal]

The guy down there called OSHA before they made him go down there 😂

[kevinenriquez]

Workers on field hate OSHA but there family at home appreciates OSHA

[bunny_god]

for every OSHA rule there was once a person who suffered the consequences before it

[lw-r]

I literally screamed! Too scary. We need to protect these workers at all costs! 🙏 ❤

[juliethehairapist]

My father died on the job. We absolutely need OSHA

[denisesalt]

Worked for insurance company and it is amazing how many companies skirt around rules to save money at their employees' expense. OSHA is needed because you CANNOT trust corporations to always do the right thing.

[kingrjrw]

People complain about safety rules and say companies don't want to pay but at the end of the day it's best for everyone when you're alive, well, and able to continue work

[justinx]

That osha employee is incredibly powerful

[enasnI]

I work for a German construction company and we had somebody ignoring the security guidelince 2 years ago exactly like that. The ditch was only about 6 feet deep but the collapsing wall had enough power to break almost all of his rips and some of them punctured his lounges. The guy was in a coma for 2 month and took another 6 month to leave the hosptial. He survived but can't do his job anymore and will be disabled for the rest of his live. NEVER ignore ANY rule that's made for your security.

[JeremiahsLot]

Our bosses always disliked OSHA but they were there to keep them doing the right thing & protecting lives. Don’t have anything against them.

[toby]

The fact that OSHA was there to witness makes this so much better. Everyone went home early that day 😅

[otrame]

I spent enough time around people putting in utilities that the sight of that guy in that trench with no shoring scared me.
