30 Of The Dumbest Safety Violations That People Spotted On The Job (New Pics)
Working on-site can be pretty dangerous – that’s why personal protective equipment and various safety protocols were created. However, even though they can help prevent injuries and even save one’s life, some workers still see them as nothing more than an unnecessary nuisance.
