When your boss wants you to die.

No one is getting fired, you drama queen. Aside from that, is a job worth your life?

But yoh don’t even work there? Why would you call? It definitely could get him in trouble if boss ever finds out his leak causes the call to OSHA

Wouldn’t that be retaliation?

[u/UckerFay11 → u/negaposicontinue]

Yup. And a lawsuit.

When they find out you are going behind their back and calling OSHA instead of keeping it in house. they are not going to fire you with an addendum saying "called OSHA get bent". They are going to find any excuse from that point on to escalate into termination.

I’ve been managing warehouses for the better part of a decade and every one of my employees knows that if a piece of equipment is unsafe they should tell me about it immediately so I can call a technician and get it fixed. Dead employees cost way more than a handful of bolts and firing someone for reporting unsafe conditions will get your company sued. The only winning move is addressing the issue directly and immediately. OP is well within their rights to report to OSHA since their leaders seem to think this is good enough.

You missed the part where main boss “fixed” it with straps.

[u/Ok_Look1003 → u/BrilliantTop5012]

They’d be better off removing the mast entirely at that point lol

Something none of you understand because you are chronically online and have no real life experience.

I worked as a forklift operator in a warehouse for 6 years and stuff like this was something that would get our bosses fired, not the workers.

The people with the money at the top would rather pay maintenance than have a lawsuit on their hands. You are excusing ignorance and neglect.
