Straight from the United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) FAQ: *If my workplace is unsafe, what can I do?* If you believe working conditions are unsafe or unhealthful, we recommend that you bring the conditions to your employer's attention. At any time, a worker may file a complaint with OSHA to report a hazardous working condition and request an inspection. If the condition clearly presents a risk of death or serious physical harm and there is not enough time for OSHA to inspect, the worker may have a legal right to refuse to work. I got the following from a short on @Law By Mike's youtube channel: You may refuse to work but don't leave unless your boss says you may.
In the U.S., it's a bit more complicated thanks to the overlap between state and federal law, but generally, the OP would have been fully backed by the law of they refused to work with unsafe equipment.

It's quite difficult to make way for a whole international airport and runways in a tiny but bustling cosmopolis like Hong Kong. Thankfully Chek Lap Kok has now taken the place of Kai Tak and is located away from the main island, connected by a long bridge. Safer air traffic without the need to take away from space for housing :)
On a other note the mattress one well they have zippers because they manufacture the covers of the mattress and the mattress springs etc in different facilities. The reason why the zipper exists is so it can go around the mattress part. This is cheaper.than making a solid unremovable cover for said matress
The Kai Tak Airport was built when the area was the middle of nowhere, but as Hong Kong grew it got it enveloped, but there were strict rules limiting building heights around it.
3:12 3 mile to college everyday. no sidewalks for half or more of the ride, along a route built for semi-trucks to go on. i have at least 1 close call everyday.
I've been to Gibratar and on the highway, and it's not that dangerous. They meticulously coordinate the closure of the gate with the airport tower, and they have a ton of security personel. The airport is also very small, so the gate doesn't have to be closed very often
@8:24 the electrician here again, those are ground wires. Or PE (Protective Earth) it is only connected to the ground. It is used so, in this case the metal, can't get electricly charged and discharge over a someone touching the metal. Well of course you can scratch or cut you on those.
As a driver of a Ram truck with a rotary shift knob, it's really not that bad. It's larger than the volume knob, textured differently, decently far away from the radio, and LOCKS YOU OUT OF shifting into reverse if the truck is already moving forward
thing is, Gibraltar really does not have space for a modern runway to be anywhere _but_ on a road. the ground needed for the jet engine era modernisation is reclaimed from the Atlantic as it is. also, the place is nowhere near busy enough for a separate commercial airport (handful of planes per day) and it is undeniably cool.
4:30, I live in hong kong, and, back in my grandpa's days he lived right next to the kai tak airport, and told me the planes always did that, theres nothing that ever went wrong, but if your new to the region, you're in for a scare lol
We're a species that went to the moon with computers less powerful than contemporary scientific calculators. These things aren't simply the cause of stupidity. It's Greed and Laziness that have caused these monstrosities to exist.
You do realize it took fifteen tries just to get a rocket that wouldn't instantly explode, and another twenty before it lifted successfully off, right? We are smart, but we get things wrong literally all the time due to lack of foresight and not considering things while planning or even not realizing something needs considering until it's far too late to fix or change it. We discover what we haven't thought of the hard way, through trial and error. Even the smartest of us. That's why the saying 'Safety regulations are written in blood.' exists. We often don't know something is going to go wrong or has gone wrong at the planning stage until the disastrous results unfold. With the runway highway, nobody bothered to check their heading or a map and simply continued in the wrong direction until hundreds of millions of dollars were invested into that highway that they didn't realize was going to cut through the runway and not run past it when they started work however many miles away. Because they blew the money in the screw up, they don't have enough money to fix it now.
6:19 Me and a friend used to call these "retirement doors" when we saw them on videogames. We thought it would be funny to see someone after their last day accidently leave through them and die a horrible and painful death. Fun times!
0:43 I remember using wooden ladders like these to pick cherries from high stemmed cherry trees (50 to 60 ft). But those ladders were not mounted on wagons, they were only "secured" with a thin rope at the top by the first guy who went up the ladder. Since cherries grow mainly on the outer parts of the branches, you had to place the ladders there in order to be able to reach the cherries, so there were no thick branches to attach the rope to, only thin, flimsy ones. You could literally feel even the slightest draft of air up there. But it was well worth the effort; those cherries were amazing.
The last post I can actually relate to. My step father got a new Dodge Ram and I hated looking at that gearshift from the start. I mean realistically I’m pretty sure it would stop you from switching gears while driving but still. It’s a single finger salute to the entirety of what makes driving a car fun.
1:06 I'm pretty sure that's not an HV line. Usually if they are overhead they are thick, braided and there are 3 running parallel. It's hard to tell in the photo but that looks like a coax data cable, which is insulated and barely has enough power to spark. Otherwise, a single line like that's normally a bundle, which is insulated and generally LV only (1000> volts).
"I tripped because I didn't watch out, now I will sue the doctor", its entirely your fault if you fall over that and its just dumb and childish to sue the doctor or the hospital.
the one at 8:17 hit hard for me. i ride my bike a lot and, fortunately, have not encountered that. I'm happy to have at least a decent area to bike ride. aside from absolute anuses that try to run me off the road. how dare I ride my bike!
1:03 reminds me of once at work when i was riding in a spray truck wiht a big boom folded in the air on the side, it was after a storm driving through town when we suddenly saw a downed power line. we couldn't stop in tim and the line was low enough it got tangled in our boom! we pulled away from anything metal but we were lucky, the line was dead with no power
Yeah we did, it fits with the theme of being a motor town. They took advantage of the mistake to make something fun. We are also known for our annual Biker Ralley
High voltage lines are typically not insulated and are made of braded cable. And it looks too thin to be insulated with 3-inch-thick rubber. This is likely a telecommunication cable. Those are insulated. I'd say it's not uncommon to see those droop down that low. Telecom companies seem to not bother with those until they're in the way of traffic or something. But never have I seen a live HV line hang that low.
8:59 I have a 2015 chrysler 200 with a dial shift and I've never had any problems with mistaking it for the volume dial because cars with a dial shift are very likely to have volume controls on the steering wheel. There is also a distinct size and texture difference of between both dials and the dial shift stays locked when you're driving except between drive and sport mode so you can switch into sport mode while driving if you would like to. When im in park and press my brake I can hear parts beneath the dial quietly move to unlock the dial so I can shift to reverse. I've had my car for 3 years and honestly I laugh whenever people think you could easily mistake it for the volume dial. The only shift type that I have a problem with is in some of lincolns cars that have buttons near the radio screen, like why?

8:23 Those are earth wires, they prevent electrocution. You normally see that style of wire attached to the bottom of a radiator just in case an electrical current gets into the hot water or metal piping, they will pull that current away and ground it meaning anyone who touches the radiator will be safe. My theory is they either use to be or are plans to add a heated towel rail.

6:30 is very relatable. I work at McDonalds and every time I have to clean the grills I have to wear gloves that look like that and after steamig the grills with a cloth and having to pick it up with holes in my gloves is absolutely amazing. I was sent home once because I burned myself on the grill because there was a hole and then proceeded to not be allowed to work for a week until the burn healed. Yay
Maybe you should talk to somebody at OSHA, that sounds like they knew they were doing something illegal and didn't want any evidence if they got inspected.

8:26 as per German regulations these are grounded green-yellow wires, they should probably be attached to something made of metal.. so those being there means there is a greater hazard somewhere :)
There are approximately half a million homeless people in America and over 17 million empty homes as well. WTH!!! (And they say they are going to help all the homeless. Ha!)
8:22 yeah nah, those wires are ground/earth wires (identified by yellow & green sheathing), and all appliances with metal cases should be connected to one. They are there to ensure any electrical leakage goes into the ground and not into you. Still bad work tho, could've at least stuffed them back into the wall
Fun fact. You have bricks in your house. Its pretty common to use bricks this way because they are hella strong. Only way to break a brick is through impact as i doubt you will have enough force to break it when it lies on a flat ground by pressing on it. Its safer than making a pile of dirt under it tho they should mask it with it or at least put a steel cone around it to reasure people. Also the zipper needs to be in place even if the matress is not intented for opening. Reason? Becayse if somebody buys a matres he would be ae to hide stuff in it and its easier for police to drag it out and open up. Not every country has this tho.
@@peter_kitsune believe me they are so compressed you would break your feet on them. The whole weight pressing down on them is so strong if anything was to go wrong it would be at the sole begining when they lied these bricks. To take a brick off the pile you wpuld need to have a strenght to rip it from under tons of weight. Many places do use bricks like this to support heavy weights due to their accesibility and strenght. They were made with this purpose. Iif they put something like cement i between the cracks no one would say that it looks innaproperiate for them to use it as a support while i will suprise you by saying the weakes part of a brick wall is the cement itself. As dangerous as it looks due to me seeing many of these instances i can assure you its really rare for it to fail. Tho it does make you nope out if you dont understand the physics making it possible. I can see why it looks bad >
@@danielcrafter9349 "That" matress is under regulations that are put over EVERY matress. Go to school and don't try acting smart online. This point is so simple it defeats itself.

@@danielcrafter9349 People can open it not in their house, and put stuff in it, its a safety measure, and even tho alot of people probably wouldn't hide something in there, a thief might actually, as that fiber glass will not enter their house if they don't open it in their house, its like saying its bad to make guns illegal to be carried outside becouse people won't kill, but you have a couple of psychopaths that do.
@1:10 I'm an electrician and am pretty sure that this isn't a power line, or at least not a high voltage power line. Because if it really is high voltage a flash would jump over on him. I think it is either a telefon cable or an insulated "low voltage" (still enough to easily kill you) power line.
as a person who used to live in Hong Kong, I can confirm that the Kai Tak Airport mentioned in 4:40 that was actually extremely dangerous and you could actually die

7:52 i remember one time i had a dream where i would be on this same thing, but in the middle of space, WITH NO SEATBELTS
It's quite difficult to make way for a whole international airport and runways in a tiny but bustling cosmopolis like Hong Kong.
Thankfully Chek Lap Kok has now taken the place of Kai Tak and is located away from the main island, connected by a long bridge. Safer air traffic without the need to take away from space for housing :)
On a other note the mattress one well they have zippers because they manufacture the covers of the mattress and the mattress springs etc in different facilities. The reason why the zipper exists is so it can go around the mattress part. This is cheaper.than making a solid unremovable cover for said matress
The Kai Tak Airport was built when the area was the middle of nowhere, but as Hong Kong grew it got it enveloped, but there were strict rules limiting building heights around it.
0:09 I did not think my post would be in a emkay video, I have turned into happiness
3:12 3 mile to college everyday. no sidewalks for half or more of the ride, along a route built for semi-trucks to go on. i have at least 1 close call everyday.
I've been to Gibratar and on the highway, and it's not that dangerous. They meticulously coordinate the closure of the gate with the airport tower, and they have a ton of security personel. The airport is also very small, so the gate doesn't have to be closed very often
6:37 hey just letting you know that's an OSHA violation
7:46 was It necessary to bring back that memory?
7:03 Jesus H. Christ! This looks like an accident kill opportunity in a Hitman game!
@8:24 the electrician here again, those are ground wires. Or PE (Protective Earth) it is only connected to the ground. It is used so, in this case the metal, can't get electricly charged and discharge over a someone touching the metal. Well of course you can scratch or cut you on those.
As a driver of a Ram truck with a rotary shift knob, it's really not that bad. It's larger than the volume knob, textured differently, decently far away from the radio, and LOCKS YOU OUT OF shifting into reverse if the truck is already moving forward
that's definitely better than trying to turn down a song and parking on accident
thing is, Gibraltar really does not have space for a modern runway to be anywhere _but_ on a road. the ground needed for the jet engine era modernisation is reclaimed from the Atlantic as it is. also, the place is nowhere near busy enough for a separate commercial airport (handful of planes per day) and it is undeniably cool.
4:30, I live in hong kong, and, back in my grandpa's days he lived right next to the kai tak airport, and told me the planes always did that, theres nothing that ever went wrong, but if your new to the region, you're in for a scare lol
2:24 Yeahh, this is when you get to see, who actually pays attention while driving.
We're a species that went to the moon with computers less powerful than contemporary scientific calculators. These things aren't simply the cause of stupidity. It's Greed and Laziness that have caused these monstrosities to exist.
To be fair that was done by the smartest minds on Earth not your average human.
You do realize it took fifteen tries just to get a rocket that wouldn't instantly explode, and another twenty before it lifted successfully off, right?
We are smart, but we get things wrong literally all the time due to lack of foresight and not considering things while planning or even not realizing something needs considering until it's far too late to fix or change it.
We discover what we haven't thought of the hard way, through trial and error. Even the smartest of us.
That's why the saying 'Safety regulations are written in blood.' exists. We often don't know something is going to go wrong or has gone wrong at the planning stage until the disastrous results unfold.
With the runway highway, nobody bothered to check their heading or a map and simply continued in the wrong direction until hundreds of millions of dollars were invested into that highway that they didn't realize was going to cut through the runway and not run past it when they started work however many miles away.
Because they blew the money in the screw up, they don't have enough money to fix it now.
At some point greed and laziness become stupidity.

Looks like someone already broke one lmao

6:19 Me and a friend used to call these "retirement doors" when we saw them on videogames. We thought it would be funny to see someone after their last day accidently leave through them and die a horrible and painful death. Fun times!
5:50 I've been there. In Oregon we have a train type system for Portland, and yes that is also very common for Portland.
2:00 wow, its crazy that I've been passing through that same pillar every day to work and home... It finally got posted there huh hahaha
0:43 I remember using wooden ladders like these to pick cherries from high stemmed cherry trees (50 to 60 ft). But those ladders were not mounted on wagons, they were only "secured" with a thin rope at the top by the first guy who went up the ladder. Since cherries grow mainly on the outer parts of the branches, you had to place the ladders there in order to be able to reach the cherries, so there were no thick branches to attach the rope to, only thin, flimsy ones. You could literally feel even the slightest draft of air up there. But it was well worth the effort; those cherries were amazing.
Okay I *do* like that the terrifying hunting knife steering wheel literally says "avoid sudden stops" on the knife though
5:13 imagine having your breaks fail at the worst possible time.
Horray! Safety!
The last post I can actually relate to. My step father got a new Dodge Ram and I hated looking at that gearshift from the start. I mean realistically I’m pretty sure it would stop you from switching gears while driving but still. It’s a single finger salute to the entirety of what makes driving a car fun.
1:06 I'm pretty sure that's not an HV line. Usually if they are overhead they are thick, braided and there are 3 running parallel. It's hard to tell in the photo but that looks like a coax data cable, which is insulated and barely has enough power to spark. Otherwise, a single line like that's normally a bundle, which is insulated and generally LV only (1000> volts).
8:50 this is actually pretty common in Brazil. Sometimes sidewalks can have little walls too
6:47 Hey I know that place.
at 3:18 that's actually a big brain move cuz then the doctor can charge more for healing that (i will still sue him and/or the hospital tho)
"I tripped because I didn't watch out, now I will sue the doctor", its entirely your fault if you fall over that and its just dumb and childish to sue the doctor or the hospital.
@@voidbite yea your rigth

5:16 I have been at that runway once watching a plane land before it’s really cool.
5:07 I think I’ve been in a house with steeper stairs.
Water + Electricity, Claude François appreciates it
Those are ground wires and therefore safe
the one at 8:17 hit hard for me. i ride my bike a lot and, fortunately, have not encountered that. I'm happy to have at least a decent area to bike ride. aside from absolute anuses that try to run me off the road. how dare I ride my bike!
1:03 reminds me of once at work when i was riding in a spray truck wiht a big boom folded in the air on the side, it was after a storm driving through town when we suddenly saw a downed power line. we couldn't stop in tim and the line was low enough it got tangled in our boom! we pulled away from anything metal but we were lucky, the line was dead with no power
0:44 we had balls of steel back in the day

Gibraltarian here! When planes land, it’s either you get run over by the plane, or you don’t 50/50 chance! 😊
4:03 the town literally held a go kart race there, with the Mariokart things edited on the advertisement
Yeah we did, it fits with the theme of being a motor town. They took advantage of the mistake to make something fun. We are also known for our annual Biker Ralley

7:00 hey who put minecraft in here
5:54 JUST... WOW
Seatbelts have definitely come a long way LMFAO
1:06 at least it's wrapped in a minimum of 3 inch thick rubber
High voltage lines are typically not insulated and are made of braded cable. And it looks too thin to be insulated with 3-inch-thick rubber. This is likely a telecommunication cable. Those are insulated. I'd say it's not uncommon to see those droop down that low. Telecom companies seem to not bother with those until they're in the way of traffic or something. But never have I seen a live HV line hang that low.
Kai Tak Airport is one of the most iconic airports ever existed..
8:59 I have a 2015 chrysler 200 with a dial shift and I've never had any problems with mistaking it for the volume dial because cars with a dial shift are very likely to have volume controls on the steering wheel. There is also a distinct size and texture difference of between both dials and the dial shift stays locked when you're driving except between drive and sport mode so you can switch into sport mode while driving if you would like to. When im in park and press my brake I can hear parts beneath the dial quietly move to unlock the dial so I can shift to reverse. I've had my car for 3 years and honestly I laugh whenever people think you could easily mistake it for the volume dial. The only shift type that I have a problem with is in some of lincolns cars that have buttons near the radio screen, like why?
2:24 I also saw some random tree growing in the middle of the road in Cabrera Road. I think it's near a police station or school idk.
If its a school its a little tree (the education of little tree)
If its a memory its a flame tree (jimmy barnes flame trees)
If its a po stn its a whipping post
(Metallica... whipping boy done wrong)
2:20 idk why the constuction workers on our country fricking did this
8:23 Those are ground wires, the should propably be attached to the drain since it's metal.
2:37 So you are saying that I get a dirt bike with no wheel and a lawnmower with no handle bar for free? I'll take it!
8:23 Those are earth wires, they prevent electrocution. You normally see that style of wire attached to the bottom of a radiator just in case an electrical current gets into the hot water or metal piping, they will pull that current away and ground it meaning anyone who touches the radiator will be safe.
My theory is they either use to be or are plans to add a heated towel rail.
3:30 if it’s not a bike path, then there’s nothing wrong with it. You just shouldn’t be biking on it
I have that mattress from Amazon. What you’re supposed to do is buy a second mattress cover and cover the original one. The original cover holds all the fiberglass from the manufacturer.
2:25 bruh, I am a safe driver, but my reaction and reasoning times are bullshit cus of ADHD. I know I'mma crash into that someday if I had go deal with it
absolutely loving how they made a post talking about the Kai Tak airport without once mentioning its Probably More Hazardous neighbour, the Kowloon Walled City (also demolished since 1994-ish)
I love doing research about that place, it's such a safety hazard and a feat of engineering that makes architects weep (being the place with the highest-recorded population density is just a bonus)
6:30 is very relatable. I work at McDonalds and every time I have to clean the grills I have to wear gloves that look like that and after steamig the grills with a cloth and having to pick it up with holes in my gloves is absolutely amazing. I was sent home once because I burned myself on the grill because there was a hole and then proceeded to not be allowed to work for a week until the burn healed. Yay
Maybe you should talk to somebody at OSHA, that sounds like they knew they were doing something illegal and didn't want any evidence if they got inspected.
@@gl15col I am australian we dont have OSHA. its all good now we got like 2 new boxes of new gloves to replace the crappy ones but there still the same brand and don't keep the heat out well, but you cant expect more from a fast food restaurant anyways.
8:23 thats only the earth potencial, it´ll harm nobody
2:31 I'm pretty sure @CboysTV made that
8:26 as per German regulations these are grounded green-yellow wires, they should probably be attached to something made of metal.. so those being there means there is a greater hazard somewhere :)
There are approximately half a million homeless people in America and over 17 million empty homes as well. WTH!!! (And they say they are going to help all the homeless. Ha!)
✨capitalism and greed✨
What I would give for a truly socialist society
Tbf it's not like they can just generate homes out of existence it takes a while
8:22 yeah nah, those wires are ground/earth wires (identified by yellow & green sheathing), and all appliances with metal cases should be connected to one. They are there to ensure any electrical leakage goes into the ground and not into you. Still bad work tho, could've at least stuffed them back into the wall
8:54 wait what Lada Samara 2109 is doing in Brazil?
It's another car:) Lada is more angular, and even if it was it would be 2108, since it's three-door.
Found this chann in my recommended once and I've been watching ever since. This channel is awesome
Fun fact. You have bricks in your house. Its pretty common to use bricks this way because they are hella strong. Only way to break a brick is through impact as i doubt you will have enough force to break it when it lies on a flat ground by pressing on it. Its safer than making a pile of dirt under it tho they should mask it with it or at least put a steel cone around it to reasure people.
Also the zipper needs to be in place even if the matress is not intented for opening. Reason? Becayse if somebody buys a matres he would be ae to hide stuff in it and its easier for police to drag it out and open up. Not every country has this tho.
The pile of bricks looked like it could be kicked over though... it was so thin
@@peter_kitsune believe me they are so compressed you would break your feet on them. The whole weight pressing down on them is so strong if anything was to go wrong it would be at the sole begining when they lied these bricks. To take a brick off the pile you wpuld need to have a strenght to rip it from under tons of weight. Many places do use bricks like this to support heavy weights due to their accesibility and strenght. They were made with this purpose. Iif they put something like cement i between the cracks no one would say that it looks innaproperiate for them to use it as a support while i will suprise you by saying the weakes part of a brick wall is the cement itself. As dangerous as it looks due to me seeing many of these instances i can assure you its really rare for it to fail. Tho it does make you nope out if you dont understand the physics making it possible. I can see why it looks bad >
No one would hide stuff in THAT matress, tho, cos of the fibreglass dust
Which defeats your point. Stop commenting "just to be contrary"
@@danielcrafter9349 "That" matress is under regulations that are put over EVERY matress. Go to school and don't try acting smart online.
This point is so simple it defeats itself. Also ever used those lil plastic bags? Yes they do fit nicely in those because they have viberglass. Hiding something in them is more than probable if you dont open it wide. Only enough to acces the inside in a long rubber glove.
If you were smarter you would figure it all out yourself. You decided to be a moron and try offend someone making yourself look as stupid as possible in the process.
@@danielcrafter9349 People can open it not in their house, and put stuff in it, its a safety measure, and even tho alot of people probably wouldn't hide something in there, a thief might actually, as that fiber glass will not enter their house if they don't open it in their house, its like saying its bad to make guns illegal to be carried outside becouse people won't kill, but you have a couple of psychopaths that do.
@1:10 I'm an electrician and am pretty sure that this isn't a power line, or at least not a high voltage power line. Because if it really is high voltage a flash would jump over on him. I think it is either a telefon cable or an insulated "low voltage" (still enough to easily kill you) power line.
as a person who used to live in Hong Kong, I can confirm that the Kai Tak Airport mentioned in 4:40 that was actually extremely dangerous and you could actually die

5:07 I remember when I was younger I lived near here and would cross over to visit family quite regularly and I didn't really think of it too much, one day I heard about this crash that happened in the road/runway causing planes to be unable to land for 20 mins
As far as I'm concerned there were no deaths
