New compressed air pistol

Today we all got new air pistoles because with the old ones it got a little bit out of hand. They threw most of them just outside in the scrap metal container. Not an hour later, most of us took them back

On a scale of 1-10. How bad?

1 - nothing 10 - fire danger

Place that has employees working at tables like this... Romex runs in a basement area across the ceiling , no conduit, Some secured with c clamps and the romex drops from ceiling to workbenches with no wireway or conduit, 120 v juction boxes sitting right at hand-level with every single knockout open, exposed wire nuts, and zero strain reliefs or clamps.

Thoughts? Sorry not more pics but this is all over the place. Junction boxes on ceiling , open with wire nuts exposed etc.

Cleaning an Aquarium in the Most Dangerous Spot at Work

translation, "Told by the employer to clean the aquarium on top of the stairs (it is first floor void), safety is questionable."

Any OSHA rules about being the only person in a location? Not looking for safety advice. Just wondering if this is an OSHA rule.

I am the only person working in a 2,000 sq ft office with an industrial HVAC training center on site with working commercial machines. The machines are off, but the center is always open. I work in a room nearby. My office is always empty except for every other week for 3 half days.

(I don't work in HVAC, but do admin.)

Is there any OSHA issue with me working alone in this empty office/area 5 days a week?

Previous managers (all remote) have told me it's an issue and have told me to work from home. My new manager (remote) isn't concerned and is having me in the office daily.

Was just curious if this is an OSHA rule! Thanks!

Sometimes you do what you gotta do😜

I did stack logs under the back once I got it high enough. I had to remove the rearend and fuel tank. The good body was tying up my lift and I needed the other parts from under it.
