Ackshuwly, as a former safety man, I can attest to the fact that red tape is the only thing that can actually keep the safety man at bay. If you want to do some sketchy sh*t, make sure to put the red tape in a place where no one can see the work, and it will buy you at least ten to fifteen minutes until the safety man can get clearance to cross the "danger barricade". It is also pretty useful when the safety team needs to keep everyone from seeing when they are doing sketchy sh*t or that they signed off on sketchy sh*t being done!
It's also very useful to keep people from messing with your finish work. We had to red tape our entire work station to keep other trades out. We had the entire area contracted for us to set our stuff down.
As a mechanic for a construction company there's been a number of times that I've told the safety man that he needs to be elsewhere for about 30min. The first time I told him he asked why and my response was I have a solution but it's best if only me and my associate knows how it got done. One time he showed up to a job while I was welding on equipment and there was two other guys with welding hoods, fire extinguishers and water bottles activity putting putting out fires that where starting all over the $750,000 machine from the grease all over it. When he asked what was going on I said repairs and he needed to leave the area for not having the proper safety gear. He walked away and when I was loading up my truck afterwards he came up to me and started asking questions and talking about possible alternatives. I told him 90% of what I do to keep shit going and making money he doesn't want to know about. After a bit of arguing and a few higher ups backing me I get left alone unless I call for him to discuss issues with the guys doing unnecessary unsafe things that's damaging the equipment (aka making my work unnecessarily hard).
@@tclemens96 its either they let you do you, or they take the piece of equipment off the job and have it taken apart and rebuild whatever the issues are with all new parts therefore costing them thousands upon thousands of dollars. Once money becomes the issues, safety man is "irrelevant".
@@tclemens96 We had a highly trusted maintenance tech that we gave that kind of leeway. He would tell us the same thing, and our response was always, "Don't let anyone get hurt," and we would give a suggestion or two for making sure of it. It sounds like your safety man is either a jerk, or green around the ears. There actually is "deviation" paperwork in ISO certified programs(Chemical plant safety), because all top-notch safety peeps know some jobs just require sketch.
Well in all fairness, I'm convinced that Ricky goes for the write ups when he needs something to wipe with after taking a dump. Perhaps he didn't have to anything to drop?
Well almost. If he had done it right the safety man would be securely duct taped to the chair with a half a roll around his gullet so he couldn't make noise. And to get to that point Ricky would have to Mickey Finn the Safety Man's Red Bull so he could have plausible deniability.
@@joeyl.rowland4153 what's the matter with Micky Finnen the safety guy? If we all went buy the book, nothing would ever get done? That's just redneck ingenuity at its finest. Right or wrong?
Every time I see Ricky and Safety Guy having a chat, I wonder "what kind of sketchy shit are Pablo and Roscoe doing?" You know Ricky is just the distraction to keep Mr. Safety Man and the Boss Man distracted.
I'm like Ricky, I remember working at a gas bar, and we had a hole near our little shop, We put cones, yellow caution tape and a piece of plywood to cover said hole till it got fixed. One day someone decided to ignore all the safety shit, stepped onto plywood which then cracked and they fell over, scraping a knee and their hand. They complained to the main store because it was "Dangerous to the customers!" and I was just like Ricky when they came to ask us about it. I was like "There's cones, yellow tape with "CAUTION" written on it to block it off. Ask them why decided to ignore the cones, and step over the tape in the first place? Not my fault they're a dumbass."
Ricky is not wrong. If you take the last honey bun from a man that has been working all day and looking forward to it, there's going to be some danger.
@@dustycows What this guy said. Whoever is filling the vending machine aint doing their job. You should know better than to have only one slot of honeybuns in the Break Room Vending Machine.
I love this channel. I wish this dude would put out more content. Watching one of these videos and a cup of coffee before I go out to work in the morning would just make my day.
I’m an union Iron worker, and I believe the red tape is the best thing to keep the unwanted crowd out of the work area, especially when they tell you it has to get done no matter what before you leave for the day.
I work factory maintenance. Sometimes when I have to keep repairing something over and over again because our operators are kind of brutal with the equipment, I'll wrap the yellow and black caution tape around what I just fixed. 9/10 times, whatever I put that tape on, it doesn't get broken again. Trust the tape, y'all.
@@napalmstickylikeglue oh god, you want their to be a hundred lawsuits and maybe no company left? Ricky plays his role as safety man plays his. It's the ying and yang of the business.
@@khaoticpenguin3945 easy skarsky.... It would be quite entertaining to see how he would handle such a position. Seeing as he has the most common sense out of most of them. 😏
There’s one more use for red tape that Ricky forgot to mention, that is to bind and gag the Safety Man to a pole so that his brand of red tape isn’t going to mess up everyone’s day.
This is absolutely proof of Ricky being the actual boss of a multi million dollar company. The property next to the project where the "300" trench was put in? He owns it. Roscoe knows.
100% correct. Use of red tape. Although my preferred use is red tape off an area so that the safety man can't come check on you freeing you up to do all the sketchy s*** you have to to get a job done.
For a moment there I thought Safety was mad because he'd driven his own truck into the trench and wanted someone to blame for it. Haven't watched anyone drive into a trench but I've watched operations staff drive right thru my red tape so...
Danger tape has been known to keep the safety man out of areas entirely if identified as hot work AND the area's barricaded within the safety man's line of sight.
