how to get away with murder...

Post by **Josephine** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 11:18 pm

just get your sworn enemy to work for your company, willfully violate safety laws that lead to their death, and oops... a tragic accident for them and no more sworn enemy for you. then again, this also works if you'd rather kill randomly.

granted there are laws against murder, but this deal's pretty good. you could serve 6 MONTHS in jail and pay up to $70,000. but since OSHA automatically discounts the fine if you contest it the average fine is $29,400. so here's a relatively inexpensive way for you to get away with murder. legally. oh and if they can't prove that you WILLFULLY violate safety laws, the fine's reduced to about $3,675. not a bad deal at all.

OSHA will not push criminal charges only fines, other departments may use OSHA reports to push charges. I had this explained in my OSHA/Industrial management courses. Basically OSHA exists because Industry allows it to and to limit public outrage over events like Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire that pushed for existence.

Sure! I'll let you test it out though my luck with bridges is not so good.

If I told you how easy it was to get away with murder, then I wouldn't be living the sweet life of freedom right now. . . .

At least 598 workers died on the job between 2002 and 2007, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. During that period, the number of deaths per year rose by around 70 percent, from 72 victims in 2002 to 125 in 2006 and a preliminary count of 120 in 2007.

Hey - let's be reasonable now... It's not like the oil industry has much money to spend on safety precautions - they're working on very tight margins!

Maybe the folks at OSHA who are overseeing the oil industry are partying like their counterparts at the Department of the Interior:

the meat packing industry is also notoriously bad. the whole thing makes me sad that human life is valued so little.

I saw the saddest show on KET last night, it was about chickens, the commercial "farms" think factory, have 7-8 hens in each pin, stacked 8 high and each pin is so small the birds can't even spread their wings, please eat organic brown eggs, its horrible that animals face this type existence to further a cause as low as humanity
