Had a coworker get fired for calling OSHA. The warehouse had all kinds of rickety old ladders and then there was a huge water leak and they had us sucking it up with shop vacs with the electric cords sitting in the standing water.

@@I.D.I.O.C.R.A.C.Y.they usually make up some bogus reason to get you fired and either pay or force employees to tell a certain story. Had this happen in 2 jobs. OSHA doesn't really do anything, if anything they give most employers plenty of advance notice to cover up.
Fun fact 101: OSHA calls are never, ever anonymous. They will find out. The good news is if you get fired for calling OSHA, you can sue. Just, before you do, understand that you will need to start keeping a paper trail like crazy, but if you want to make a company stop being unsafe (an old company I worked had a boss that encouraged someone to stand on the forks of a forklift 30 feet in the air to close a door), it's worth it.
@@scottmcmichael319 Everything you can think of. Usually an email, personal journal with timestamps of occurrences. Anything the company printed out about it, etc. Jeez, the OP's old boss sounded like he used to work at the same warehouse that Klaus did. He was a Staplerfahrer driver too. That documentary he was in was crazy!
@@scottmcmichael319paper trail is documenting everything. Communicate with HR in writing. If they insist on over the phone communication. Follow it up email recapping the main points of phone call. Documents everything. When communicating thru email. Alway send a copy of the email to ur self. That way all the communication comes with time stamp.
Yeah if you can prove they fired you for that. They don't write "called osha" on the paperwork. They put something to explain the sudden firing and unless you have documentation and proof your screwed
I called OSHA on one of my old jobs because they really thought we were gonna climb on loose steel shelves (the grated shelves used to hold pallets on the tall orange steel in almost every warehouse) to get to product. They also had the loose orange steel laying around haphazardly to the point where the hooks to connect them would catch on your clothes or even skin. Had pallets standing up. Had a rider pallet jack with squared wheels from so much wear and tear. And a plethora of other violations. When OSHA came in they were beyond stunned. I think the owner got fined like $60K.
Fun fact the tip line is good but if you want to essentially GUARANTEE they show up go to an osha field office, they almost ALWAYS show up if you actually come to the office because it comes off as more serious.
Yeah OSHA is pretty toothless if nobody is literally dying. I use to work as a fedex ground delivery driver. I reported my warehouse because people were constantly, and i mean constantly spraining ankles, tripping and gashing their legs (one time deep enough to see the muscle), having to fenagel things on the engine our own selves which caused one guy to have the skin on the back of his hand completely removed; he had to get a skin graph and his hand never fully recovered. OSHA didn't do a damn thing, not even so much as a letter. I never got any emails or calls, but the agent I spoke to before I made my report said I would get. Maybe my local OSHA office is just corrupted.
I worked at a chicken plant (Pilgrim's Pride) bought by Costco. A part in the chiller (that stores all the freshly killed birds and cools them) broke. It was metal flakes all in the chicken for months. They had us come in one Saturday to wash, and clean the chicken that was in the chiller at the time..but flakes of metal were still present for months. USDA ignored it. I showed USDA and they warned me not to say anything. These regulation companies only care on the surface. Anything that directly has to do with the employee or consumer they couldn't care less
The trick is to insist that anyone injured go to the ER, happens on the jobsite and uses the work insurance it becomes an Osha reportable, enough of those in a short enough period and it's a ticket
@@nealcassady1189 Well they didn't fix 90% of the issues I had but they actually turned on the AC to cool our area instead of using the head to keep the humidity from condensing on the ceiling. There was a response letter that I got a copy of and it more or less laid out what the 20 minute safety video said. They also claimed that there were water coolers and gatorade coolers for everyone which there is not so now I have to write a followup.
Called OSHA for the company not providing us any PPE at my work place when the COVID lockdowns and such reached a height, and before we really knew anything about it. This was despite us having to get in close contact with people from all of the country all the time, so it was a legitimate concern at the time. OSHA came down like the wrath of God and my boss got canned so fast it made all of our heads spin. It was actually nuts.
Managment OSHA audit response- "Yeah, that equipment is down for maintenance and the employees have now been trained on how to recognize that and all. They are moved for storage purposes and such and maybe that's what was reported. In fact, we updated the safety training for this exact thing. Additionally, we updated the MSDS cuz were using that eco friendly hydraulic fluid when it's done gettin fixed. What!? We get credit for that! Well damn. L&I too? Shoot I'm glad you came by! Is he still around? Well with the supply chain issues we had to cut back but we confirm his employment with the equal employment guys rules, so he is in good standing.".
Haha you ain't lying! It's always on everyone's mind, but it's risky lol The "law" says you cannot be fired for calling OSHA... But it doesn't help you againt the other BS reason they immediately fire you for 😂
@@MarshallPatrickhese videos are seriously good man, you gotta figure out how to get this at the top of the algorithm. They would take off with the blue collar community lol
OSHA seems more worried about people using green cords than about the builder leaving a hot electrical panel exposed, a temp railing held by small finish ling nails that pop out, or by a complete lack of porta potties on the site. Even if you call OSHA for a serious problem everyone will know you did it, and good luck finding work after that.
this day and age go to the internet to get contact info. a place i worked at tried this sht had posters printed up with phone number that went to a burner phone and address was a p/o box
I get that it was under cover boss but it legit felt like an osha man its allways the employees fault not the company drove a truck with bad brakes reported it multiple times one day i bumb a car i was told it was my fault because i should have refused to operate the truck till it was fixed
OSHA doesn't really do anything they are kinda useless. I once got written up for filing a OSHA complaint (I didn't) and when I went to OSHA about they said it's not retaliation because I never filed a complaint
I heard a story about a guy who anonymously reported his boss to OSHA for safety violations. They showed up and shut down the place and it cost the owner hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair the problems and he was forced to shut down for weeks. It was a small oil company. The owner decided it was the head mechanic who complained when it was actually a truck driver. He fired him and bought the bank where the guys mortgage was held and managed to get his house foreclosed on by claiming he didn't pay his mortgage. Somehow, after the mechanic sent checks successfully for years, one "got lost" in the mail. After one missed payment they filed for foreclosure and stole his house. So... Be certain you want to walk that path before you pull that trigger.
I used to be a service electrician and ran a bucket truck without a helper that had a hole in the bucket with piece of plywood over it and they didn’t have a harness that fit me, but needed the job lol
At least you guys got OSHA. I’m with a municipality. Only the state OSHA covers us and they are as dumb as a box of rocks living in a potato sack. Come in, nod, fine said local government, then gives money back to local government, and goes about their day with nothing being resolved other than I get word that the person in question (me) who called said state OSHA is about to go missing if found. Fuck man, I just want electrical safety gloves for myself and the other electricians. Had to call them a second time and stand in front of a hot open bucket with no safety gear, pretending that oh no, ya caught me. Guess I’ll need those gloves… for safety reasons. I got plenty of horror stories, like how my boss keeps trying to get me to jump out all the protection and hook the motor straight to the breaker, but the fire ball from the exploding vfd was enough not to trust anyone. But I’ve said enough.
I worked at a place where boss man had a company install a new first aid kit on the work floor. Boss man went and peeled off the OSHA hotline sticker and the Safety At Work guidelines sticker that came stuck on the first aid kit.
Workers these days don't have no loyalty to each other. Marshall's out here reporting on all of his coworkers and everythin'. Heck I wonder if he isn't actually in cahoots with the boss.

this is why you always go to .gov website. or call state directly.
💯 Facts!
The amount of terrible leadership in the workplace is astounding.
I heard a story about a guy who anonymously reported his boss to OSHA for safety violations. They showed up and shut down the place and it cost the owner hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair the problems and he was forced to shut down for weeks.
It was a small oil company.
The owner decided it was the head mechanic who complained when it was actually a truck driver.
He fired him and bought the bank where the guys mortgage was held and managed to get his house foreclosed on by claiming he didn't pay his mortgage.
Somehow, after the mechanic sent checks successfully for years, one "got lost" in the mail.
After one missed payment they filed for foreclosure and stole his house.
So...
Be certain you want to walk that path before you pull that trigger.
