Best Of The Worst

The Minnesota OSHA web site includes a page of photographs taken by Minnesota OSHA staff members during 2005 and 2006. They show workers who are in imminent danger, meaning in a situation that presents a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could occur immediately or before the danger can be eliminated through normal enforcement procedures.

The picture voted as the "best of the worst" by Minnesota OSHA inspectors is shown to the right.

MNOSHA became aware of these situations through reports received from employees, the general public or direct observation by an investigator.

You can see the photos, and the stupid things people do at: http://www.doli.state.mn.us/06photo_main.html
