If you’re not new to Bored Panda, you probably know what big fans we all are here of OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration)-related content.

Numerous times we’ve covered the legendary subreddit OSHA which has set out on a mission to educate people about staying safe at work by showing what incidents lurk around the corner. Check it out here, here and here!

Now, this entertaining Facebook group titled “Looks Like An OSHA Violation But Ok” is a great addition to the educational efforts to remind people that staying safe at work should be the utmost priority!

Home to 492.1K members, the group describes itself as “a place to share images and stories of the most egregious OSHA violations, and other maybe-not-the-best-idea situations.” Scroll down through the batch of examples below!

“While perhaps one can say they are ‘lucky’ nothing has happened, that sort of behavior – the minor breaches – can lead to much bigger ones, or be indicative of general malaise or slipshod behavior, which can mount up and eventually cause huge problems,” Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist, media spokesperson and author of multiple books, including “Be A Great Manager Now“, “The Leader’s Guide to Mindfulness,” and “The Leader’s Guide to Resilience,” told Bored Panda in a previous interview.

Dr. Tang explained that “with regards to the impact on employees – we only have a finite amount of energy we can devote to productive work within a day.”

She continued: “We know when we are ill, for example, that ability to focus diminishes and performance suffers – if a workplace is making someone sick, you have already reduced productivity (not to mention breached the trust of the employee), but also, even if an employee is worried about something they have noticed that is awry, their own mind will be distracted and in turn affect performance.”

Dr. Tang explained that the research into wellbeing at work previously looked more at the “hygiene factors” because they affected the satisfaction of employees if they weren’t present (“a bit like if one didn’t wash their hands, they could become ill”).

“These include things like working conditions, behavior of immediate management, and the physical workspace.”

“However, more recently, people’s attention and the body of research have shifted more towards the organizational health speaks of ‘psychological safety’ as another element of health – at least emotional and mental health(!) – in the workplace.”

If a worker doesn’t feel psychologically safe, “i.e. they don’t feel heard, or perhaps they are criticized all the time, perhaps they don’t feel they can ask if they need support,” it can be hugely detrimental to motivation, retention and performance. It also has a tremendous negative impact on the employee’s mental and emotional wellbeing.
