If OSHA saw how my parents work on electrical equipment, they would have a heart attack.

No insulated gloves, no safety goggles, no safety boots, improper use of a ladder, working on electrical equipment without disconnecting the breaker, almost flicking the lightswitch while I'm working on the lights, improper installation of wiring, not following the CEC handbook, not following the most basic level of safety, poor installation of outlets, poor installation of lightswitches, etc...

Thank god they ask me to work on electrical equipment, cause I do not trust them in the slightest to do it themselves.

    It was and still is.
    No matter how many times I tell them to follow safety, they just don't listen.
    It's frustrating and very concerning.

    I sympathize with you. I get into a lot of arguments that get loud very quickly with my own parents, thankfully not anything electricity-related, but rather, heavy weights related. Like, no dad, you can't drag a ton of stones with your 60-70 years old shoulders, there's a reason your back hurts every time you do it.
    And I think I hate people who shit on OSHA because they think they're too chad to abide by rules who are meant to limit our divine potential or whatever.
