Don't Wait for it to Be Too Late

Nobody wants to be a snitch. That's completely understandable. But then again, nobody wants to end up crippled, or worse.

If you have spent more than a few years on jobsites, then you probably have a better idea than most as to what constitutes a needlessly dangerous situation on the job. You notice if the scaffolding isn't put together correctly. You notice if there is a danger from falling debris.

Sometimes the general contractors are aware of it too, but are a little too concerned with the bottom line to make the necessary changes.

If you suspect that corners are being cut, but aren't sure, follow this link to the OSHA website. If you do a little research you can probably find out exactly what is being done wrong, and who to contact to make your bosses comply with safety regulations.
