Every once in a while, we stumble on topics relating to OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration). You might have even seen content from the subreddit OSHA.

The renowned subreddit OSHA has made it its duty to raise awareness of workplace safety by revealing potential mishaps. Now, this amusing Facebook page called "Looks Like An OSHA Violation But Ok" is a wonderful addition to the awareness-raising campaigns to remind people that workplace safety should always be a top concern! 

Brook See is the person who created the Facebook page "Looks Like An OSHA Violation, But Ok." Brook recounted saying:

"I saw an image posted one day and thought tagging it ‘looks like an OSHA violation but ok’ would have been funny, and fully assumed a group already existed. When I discovered it didn't, I created it.”

The group's founder admitted that while he had no idea how huge the group would eventually become, he knew it was going to be successful from the start. "And how fast. At one point, we were getting a thousand post submissions a DAY," Brook said

The group, which boasts over 490K members, calls itself "a place to share images and stories of the most egregious OSHA violations and other maybe-not-the-best-idea situations." Browse the collection of their best post below!
