I know from the experence of working 35 years in the manufacturing industry that OSHA compliance is considered a joke or something to be taken care of before the inspectors show up to investigate a complaint by most employers. If I had a nickel for every hour I operated a printing press that had missing safety guards /defective safety devices/interlocks in buildings with uncovered high voltage electrical panels/blocked fire exits/no sprinkler system/not enough fire extinguishers I would be rich.

Comes to $3,500.00 for 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, 35 years.

or the History/Discovery/Learning/etc. Channel would have a reality show about it.

Well… they’d have to get permission from the owners of the rigs to make that show. I think the last thing Big Oil needs to add to their reputation is a show focusing on how dangerous the conditions are for their workers.
