Got my OSHA 30 for construction (through a different trainer, which is why it's not listed here), then decided to get every other OSHA certification I could stand to get.
Good job, you get a sticker

Inspired by the Dull Men’s Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Woohoo! :-D
30-hour OSHA trained, doodah, doodah 30-hour OSHA trained, oh the doodah day
This got a legitimate chuckle out of me.
May your workdays be the best kind of dull.
o7 I appreciate it.
And I appreciate your dedication to workplace safety. Each and every one of those rules were written in blood.
I wish everyone was on the same page, lol. It kills me how brainwashed a lot of people are.
Imagine thinking someone goes into safety just to make their fellow blue collar workers' jobs harder.
I know. It discredits all the good work other people do.
It kills me that most workers seem to only want to get the job done at any expense, and they tend to get mad at people who get hurt on the job because it tightens up safety.

Why do you care so much? Make your money and go home happy. Fuck the guy who's trying to milk your life dry.

The ramifications of hurt workers are directed much more towards management and their failure to properly address issues than they are toward workers who don't follow policies. OSHA doesn't even write people up, only employers. And it's illegal to be retaliated against if you're an employee who reports unsafe conditions.
I don't think I read a single module in these classes that didn't include some phrasing of "Blame the policy, blame the managers, do not blame the employees." Like, the hands are the ones doing the work and have the best ideas of how to do things; therefore, your policies and practices should reflect that.
And people bitch and moan about their boss being a hard-ass, and then bend over backward to finish their task on record pace. It's baffling.
Let's hope OSHA is not next in trumps list. Then these certifications will be worth a whole lot less sadly.
I don't think he maintains a list - not a normal one. I think he just has a bunch of shit on one line with no punctuation.
That is the dullest - yet most eloquent - insult I've ever heard. Bravo.
Thanks :)
Good work now you can harrass hard working tradies for doing things slightly different than it says in you paperwork.
Y'know, I had a somewhat mean comment here, but I deleted it because my training has taught me that there's always a root cause for behavior, and I gotta start practicing that
So let's see:
All employees, ideally, would be involved in the paperwork. So if you're working differently than what it says, there's an issue.
Have you SEEN the JHA for the job? Were you made aware of all the hazards you may face, given the PPE required, and trained properly? If not, then I'll go have a talk with your manager and find out why.
Is there something we can do to make PPE unnecessary maybe?
I'm not here to harass or scold anyone. I'm here to find faults in the system itself, to protect you and your friends, and to make everyone as happy as possible while still getting the job done.
A good portion of this training focuses on the psychosocial aspect of jobs - keeping people engaged and mentally well. All I want to do is get you through the day in one piece and smiling.
Y'know, before things like OSHA and the unions, they used to just shoot and bomb their workers until shit got done. You ignorant, ungrateful cocksucker.
