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....
The fella behind the desk calls out "We dont sell single or loose packets anymore"
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....

[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.

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

That doesn't look right to me.

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.

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.
