Wtf....osh

[puddytat]

Popped into Protector Safety today to get a few sets of earplugs today,found the isle a go to shelf & hello, only boxes of 10million or so....:blink:
The fella behind the desk calls out "We dont sell single or loose packets anymore":blink:
I say "Errrr, why ?"
He says " Its a new OSH thing"
I says "What the fuck"...
He says "Yeah, its just come in"

So anyone else heard this one yet?
Or do you have an equally GAY OSH story to tell? Sheesh....:facepalm:

[Smifffy]

sounds like a bullshit excuse from the guy in the shop to me.

Osh are a pain in the arse, but they also seem to get blamed for a lot of stuff that some people can't be arsed with.

[puddytat]

You could be right there Smiffy, but he did say that they were only able to sell the "reusable ones" singly, singaly, singularly.You know by themselves...

No word of it here

[p.dath]

So he is trying to say OSH are refusing to allow the sale of protective gear?

Doesn't sound write to me.

[puddytat]

So he could be pulling my willy then , the:tugger::lol:
Thats what I thought too p.d...but maybe its a earwax issue...?

[onearmedbandit]

Doesn't sound write to me.

That doesn't look right to me.

[awayatc]

are a pain in the arse, .........some people can't be arsed with.


Where Did you say those plugs were meant to go again....:facepalm:?

[Zuki lover]

WTF! what will they think of next :facepalm:

:yes: very true - I use the Osh excuse myself at work, though my excuses are somewhat valid (trying to make mothers stop their small children running riot through the dental surgery)

You can buy earplugs in pairs at the chemist..... or cycletreads....

If your allowed to still buy the big boxes, then it's not an air wax issue ... sounds like they just don't want to sell them individually anymore.

[AllanB]

More like a new company policy not to sell singles. Which is absolutely fine for a company to decide this or set a minimum purchase price (I find this at steel places etc).

It's not right to blame OSH though - heck they can stuff up things on their own!

[Oakie]

It would be bullshit. As a previous poster said, it's justifying stuff by waving the big scary 'OSH' banner.

[Usarka]

Eat a dodgy $5 curry and do a dump on the counter and tell them under osh guidelines it was dangerous for you to carry around toxic material in an unstable vessel.

[marty]

how many do you need? i've got aboout 2000 individually wrapped pairs.

Ribbed for pleasure?

[marty]

ribbed, multi coloured, chew them if you're bored :0

i've found the best hing to do is cut 5mm off the top of them - the helmet doesn't catch 'em on the way over your head.


hahaha - I said helmet and head in the same sentence :)

Ear plugs should not be sticking out of your ears at all - so if your having to cut them your not putting them in right. Make sure you pull back your ear lobe to straighten our the ear canel before you try and put them in.

Check out this video on how to do it the right way:

What are you - the fucking noise police?

I work in an extroadinarily noisy environment, and have a medical requirement to excellent hearing. I know how to put earplugs in properly thanks.

Which store puddy? I'm due for half a dozen so will pop in to either the morehouse or hornby shops.

It's utter bullshit, at best a company spin on some obscure ruling by way of a pathetic attempt to justify in-house marketing policy.

The correct response would have been to ask for the relevant ruling to be explained by the local manager. Then explain why you're taking your annual safety budget to NZ safety.

Wankers.

[Wannabiker]

Mitre 10 sell them in individual packaging (pairs). Places like protector safety are more geared for supply to trade or industry, hence why they are more likely to sell them by the "box lot".

Hitcher!!!! where are you???!!!

[puddytat]

Cheers for the input all, yup it'll be them not wanting to sell individual packets no more so I will simply take my business somewhere else & not to Protector Safety on that road which heads to the airport in Nelson....mind you I dont think Ive ever seen anyone else in there either.
Maybe it was a dry humour thing I missed, but he couldve had a laugh at my expense then filled me in on the real deal. Consequently I will go elsewhere & get my safety glasses , safety boots & overalls somewhere else.....
The customer can be fickle....

[wtf?]

FFS. I just buy them by the box.

Its cheaper, it takes fuckin ages before you ever need to think about getting more and there's always some for a mate or mowing the lawn, using the saw bench or whatever.

$60 for a box of 200 pairs.

Answer my question Puddy...

Which store puddy?
I'm due for half a dozen so will pop in to either the morehouse or hornby shops.
So went to chch morhouse to day, brought 9 indervidually HA, so duno what your problem was?




actually I did ask and the guy grunted that them 9 were the last 9, from now on its box's of 50 upwards, and nothing to do with OSH.
220457
As he said go to bunnings or something.
And FWIW, I dont like the pointed ones them there are more comphy and softer.

[QUOTE=dangerous;1129875272]Answer my question Puddy...

Tis no big deal really, its just that I was put on the wrong tack by his comment, when really we all know what sterling work OSH does eh.

I'n not a bro.
I know what ya mean, its a princable thing, 1st the prick lied he should have said we want more money so that will be 60 bucks not a 10er, sorry for making life harder than it already is
which leads to the 2nd thing, increase in tax, living costs soring wages droping (for most) hell why not hit the we guy harder again, all he wants is to look after his hearing whan riding.
3rdley, yeah OSH fuck ya off at the best of times, like I said in a recent OSH thread of mine, we are breading bloody brain deads, rulls n regs are taking over common sence and the abaility to think for ones self... its the worlds "dumbing down"

*sigh* shit that was a lot of words (and typos) for this time of the morning, beter piss off to work and break a few OSH rules.

[Goblin]

Well you had to ask.



Where Did you say those plugs were meant to go again....:facepalm:?
