Industrial Safety Goggles

Police in Wichita, Kansas, arrested a 22-year-old man at an airport hotel after he tried to pass two (counterfeit) $16 bills.

A man in Johannesberg, South Africa, shot his 49-year-old friend in the face, seriously wounding him, while the two practiced shooting beer cans off each other's head.

A company trying to continue its five-year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job. According to Industrial Machinery News, the film's depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room. Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film.

The Chico, California, City Council enacted a ban on nuclear weapons, setting a $500 fine for anyone detonating one within city limits.

A bus carrying five passengers was hit by a car in St. Louis, but by the time police arrived on the scene, fourteen pedestrians had boarded the bus and had begun to complain of whiplash injuries and back pain.

Swedish business consultant Ulf af Trolle labored 13 years on a book about Swedish economic solutions. He took the 250-page manuscript to be copied, only to have it reduced to 50,000 strips of paper in seconds when a worker confused the copier with the shredder.

A convict broke out of jail in Washington D.C., and then a few days later accompanied his girlfriend to her trial for robbery. At lunch, he went out for a sandwich. She needed to see him, and thus had him paged. Police officers recognized his name and arrested him as he returned to the courthouse in a car he had stolen over the lunch hour.

Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

When two service station attendants in Ionia, Michigan, refused to hand over the cash to an intoxicated robber, the man threatened to call the police. They still refused, so the robber called the police and was arrested.

A Los Angeles man who later said he was "tired of walking," stole a steamroller and led police on a 5 mph chase until an officer stepped aboard and brought the vehicle to a stop.

That's so funny! I love the one about the robber who actually called the police. I've never heard it before! Thanks for the laugh.

A guy walks into the local welfare office,

A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi. You know, I just hate drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job."

The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year."

The guy, wide-eyed, says, "You're puttin' me on!"

The social worker says, "Yeah, well, you started it."

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim
suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.

When the Director of Nursing became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom with the belt of his robe right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied; "He didn't hang himself; I put him there to dry.

How soon can I go home?"

In Ohio, an unidentified man in his late twenties walked into a police station with a 9-inch wire protruding from his forehead and calmly asked officers to give him an X-ray to help him find his brain, which he claimed had been stolen.

"He was seen hopping and jumping around," said police spokesman Mike Carey, "with an explosion taking place inside his pants." Police have the man's charred trousers in custody.

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense: "My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb." "Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses." The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

My name is Andrew, I was recently fired from an employer for not scraping battery acid out of the floor hard enough...

The problem started from overfilling a forklift with water causeing it to over flow sulfuric acid onto a concrete floor... My employer put water on it.. told me it was safe and gave me a metal scraper (the kind used in construction for applying grout and things of that nature..
At no time was I given anything to neturalize the acid spill.. or any protective equipment.. my employer showed no concern that my skin was itching and burning and instructed me to scrape harder...
I eventually refused because one it was not working and two I felt my personal safety was becoming an issue as the dry battery acid was becoming powder form and airborn which I was inhaleing. and felt that they were doing this as sort of a punishment for over filling the forklift..
I was fired for insubordination for not following my supervisors Instructions as stated on my termination for not scraping dry battery acid out of the floor...

The guys at OSHA became concerned.. because not only was the acid not netrualized by using plain water.. I was given no protective equipment (Industrial Gloves, Goggles, proper facemask so i would not inhale the powder form of this acid)... But the company has no P.P.E, eyewashstations, showers, Or proper chemical cleanup materials in the battery changing area...

Many people told me that I can sue for wrongful termination because I refused to work because of safety issues that they were not concerned about.... It wasnt the fact that I refused I did scrape the acid but I guess I didnt do it hard enough because it was causing the burning and itching of my hands and legs

Thanks for your time

Based on Supreme Court rulings, you have the right to refuse unsafe work without retaliation. See the second site below for info on filing discrimination complaints with state and federal OSHA agencies.

Edit:
The OSHA site says, "However, employees do have the right to refuse to do a job if they believe in good faith that they are exposed to an imminent danger." I am entirely correct. The site means that you cannot refuse to work because something is not up to code, only if you are in imminent danger, which completely applies to this situation.
