That link says if they're marked MB then they are methyl bromide treated, which is no bueno

Which hasn't been used since 2005. I've never seen an MB-marked pallet. It's still worth checking the stamps.

No kidding. I have to give away good pallets just to get a junk man to haul off the broken one. He comes by every day with a 16ft trailer.

Jamie Quinlan, 12, was jumping on a friend’s trampoline on Sunday when the incident occurred. The coil ripped through the boy’s T-shirt and lodged itself roughly two inches deep into his back, just centimeters away from his spine.

Inches and centimeters in the same sentence. What a world.

Yeah, I may have gone too overboard with the anonymizing, but that's his 4-year-old he's got on a roof that he's working on.

His main defenses in the comments are:

1) gently caress you pussies
2) It's a private job not through my business so OSHA can't touch me therefore it's all OK

All throughout my childhood and into my teenage years my father and his brothers worked for the family excavating business. Thus as a child I used to ride/play on or in backhoes, bulldozers, dump trucks... All manners of construction equipment. There where no seat belts, booster seats, etc.. Many times I rode on the bulldozer while my grandfather was operating it. Sitting on the side right above the tracks.

If that happened today, my parents would probably be arrested.

Based on my experience with my kids, I wouldn’t hire child laborers because they’re lovely employees. No attention to detail, easily distracted, low standard of work.

And that’s not even getting into their wanting too many bathroom breaks, general lack of strength, etc.

Growing up around the stuff, I also learned to respect it and not be stupid. I do remember my Dad telling me to never approach any running equipment unless the operator acknowledges you. Common sense yes, but not to a child.

The flip side of this is that kids have no exposure to work at all until they're a fresh college grad working in an office wondering why something feels wrong.

well that's what happens when you let your society get so hosed over by the rich that you end up with a totally intractable Morlock/Holoi situation. if u bussed kids into the Rich Towns there'd be more social mobility.

The pallet talk up-thread reminded me of my own OSHA experience at my first ever real job.

Way back in the 80s I was a lowly shitkicker at a local supermarket. My supervisor was a giant loving douche named Wayne. Wayne was the textbook company brown-noser. He would "Yes sir!" every unreasonably deadlined request from management, and work the rest of us like a slave-driver to get it done. Every corner would be cut, and usually safety procedures were the first to go in the name of "efficiency". No one ever got out on time when Wayne was around.

I finally got the shits with the place and left for a better job. Luckily I wasn't around for only one week later Wayne was rushing around doing his usual turbo hasty bullshit and went to lean a pallet on the store room wall. He turned around without checking that he'd properly settled the pallet and it fell over, catching him on the back of one leg as he walked away. An couple of ex-coworkers had to undergo counselling because they were the first to the scene and found him screaming on the floor in a pool of blood with the calf muscle stripped off of the back of his leg almost down to the ankle. Yeowch.

I felt bad for the dude, but I couldn't stop part of me thinking he reaped what he sowed. :colbert:
