Occupational Safety & Health Adminstration. Pronounced 'Oh-Sha'
If you work any
blue collar type job, they are both your best friend, and
your worst enemy. They are the ones who make sure employers don't let your arms get torn off by machinery, but also the same ones that don't allow you to even have a
bottle of water when you're working a 10 hour day in the middle of July in the body shop.
They make sense alot of times, but more often than not, they are mega-safety nazis.
If everybody was competent and not retarded, we would have no need for OSHA.
--OH MY GOD don't stand there! You are within 36 inches of an
electrical switchbox, if OSHA sees, they are going to
rip down your
tightie wighties and insert a sign post 18 inches up your ass!
