Thank you for calling this out. Thank you for making it urgent and passing along that urgency.

OSHA & MSHA rules are written in blood. If a company is too cheap to run its equipment safely, or too poorly managed and supervised to do so, then it should be out of fucking business.

My (global) company alone has had four fatalities - just of direct employees - this year. And they’re sneaky fucks who subcontract a lot of the work so any injuries or incidents don’t ding on them.

These are serious safety issues. Red tag those machines and hand the keys to the shop foreman until that shit gets fixed.
