I work in a chemical plant, and as much as we make fun of OSHA for having over the top regulations, remember that every guideline has been written after the fact, usually in blood.
For my intro to engineering class, we took the 10 hour OSHA course. We had to pick three regulations and we had to write about what accident led to it. It was ... interesting.
@@wilderposey That would've been disturbing.
The way you worded this makes it seem like you've seen some real crap *I'd probably believe you if you said so*
@@Golden12500 well, I’m still in high school, but my robotics team has had some interesting accidents. Loss of hair due to having it yoinked out, and a few sever cuts. I got electrocuted when someone left live wired on a metal table.
Did you know back in the early 1900s companies would higher Pinkertons to murder workers who asked that first aid be given to injured workers?
As a law student “I couldn’t give a shit about death you should have removed the window” is the most accurate felling of reading a legal problem I have ever heard

This is beautiful to watch from a Law perspective.
I don't care that two people died, the assignment was about who has to pay for the speeding ticket so that is the only thing that matters to me.
“I’m ignoring the fact that they’re fighting on a JET. And instead thinking of how loud those jets are. Pop some earplugs in.” I wrote this from memory. Don’t kill me
Heh.
TIL: OSHA has no regulations against dangerous animals or pets at the workplace, hence the large ape is perfectly okay to have on the construction site.
It's like air bud, but possible!

Hopefully now that Steve, a qualified builder, has been added, the buildings will be safer.
Oh no why is he building TO the edge... Why is he riding a minecart off the platform. Does he have explosive permits? Steve you were supposed to save us from violations!

I was in tears at that part XD

How accurate is Brian's methods and evaluations here?
@@Catterjeeo I haven’t been OSHA certified in years so I’m not the best person to ask. It seems accurate from what I do know.
@@vulpixxlenya2284 is a giant untrained ape on a construction site a violation or no?
@@shanelawrence7438 as another commenter pointed out, there are no regulations against it so technically it isn't a violation. But it likely will end up being classified as a violation anyway.
@@dingdawng I feel like OSHA probably has some miscellaneous regulation that can cover "We didn't think of this yet, but it seems really unsafe, so you're in trouble anyway, even if there's not a specific rule. Yet." If they don't, they should probably do that.
"It is literally the only stage with a tower crane, and you fucked it up." Why did this freaking KILL me?

Fun fact, Donkey Kong is one of the only characters in the Smash Roster where we know exactly where he pees. The left platform of Jungle Japes is an outhouse complete with a hole on the bottom of it.

Objection! In order for magma to be a flammable liquid it would need to be capable of rapid exothermic oxidization - in other words, combustion. Magma's ability to conduct large amounts of thermal energy without oxidizing is actually the most damning proof that it is NOT flammable. OSHA is correct to not intend this inclusion!
So they need a new regulation about magma/lava?
Magma is heat source. Like thermal gun. Same rules. It's open and don't have control systems.

You have given me so many ideas Maya. I appreciate you, thank you.
@Jayson Buch I did have an idea for an adventure or campaign where the players somehow get in trouble with Hell and have to go to Hell Court, and of course because it's Hell, nothing is fair, so they have to bribe, threaten, and manipulate their way to victory or else be doomed to spend the rest of their lives wasting away waiting for an arbitrarily distant court date and then have their souls damned by default.
Lawful Evil: I don't care that it's a blood sport, you need to have hand rails on your stairs.

"there's no OSHA regulation for levitating floors" WELL NOT YET THERE ISN'T
is their any yet?
@@Sleepy_Cabbage not that I know of.... Probably need to invent levitating floors first
If there are no walls around the levitating floor, then it is a violation
if its levatating 40 inches off the floor without a handrail it is a violation
Levitating floors must have a renewable or replaceable source of energy to maintain flight
I just realized that Brian is implying that Construction is "close enough" to blood sport
You don't know what the workers get up to.
Gäbijj. Construction is way more dangerous.
I've done both. Can confirm. Same thing.
I really want to know if he just forgot about boxing or if boxing isn't covered by OSHA
As a Electrician that often works on Construction sites, i can confirm, that is absolute accurate
"There is a large ape" At the very least that entire stage is a gigantic AZA violation. The enclosure (the stage in this case) is obviously hazardous, there's no enclosing fence or barrier, it looks nothing like the natural habitat of a gorilla, the gorilla is not in an appropriate social group, I'm honestly not sure if barrels would be good enrichment items in this case but jacks definitely aren't, and there are members of the general public in direct contact with an animal with no staff supervision present. Smash Bros. will never get AZA accredited if they keep this up.
I still remember showing this to my chemistry teacher that made us learn how to fill out OSHA chemical safety sheets with each lab. He fucking loved it. Keep up the great work Brian! Edit: rip unraveled, still keep up the good work!

Timestamp please? Edit: nvm it's at 12:40
As an Environmental Health and Safety Director I will say he got pretty close. However in all honesty the real pain sets in when you realize that these fines can be calculated per exposure. That means that the fine adds up for per employee per instance that an employee was exposed for the duration that that hazard has existed. All of that is per violation. Now that is a hefty bill! Oh and can't forget about the jail time for willful violations.
So we ought to look up the game stats and basically multiply by how often each character has been played, and also, it's been five years so by now we can definitely say willful repeat violations
So funny story: this video made my coworkers and I realize we had unintentionally committed an OSHA violation.
If it’s something you can say 👀 what was it
@@lindseylindsey9200 I see you OSHA
Brian, thank you for doing my suggestion and shining a spotlight on this important issue. This is the start of a movement that will ensure ALL video games take their characters’ health and well-being seriously. Keep fighting the good fight.

For those wondering, if he counted each violation as a repeated violation, the total fine would be $170,335,512
I calculated what the fines would be with every day repeated since its release and its now at a wonderful $114 312 162 630
Precisely what I came to the comments for today. Thank you!
if you included DLC stages, how much would they add? (since they’re willful / repeated)
My question is where did he find these hats?
“In Pictochat 2, there is too *much* ventilation in the form of this man” That one got me
5:01 It's ironic that he specifically mentions Donkey Kong here, as Jungle Japes, a Donkey Kong stage, includes an outhouse. That might be another violation, as the waste is deposited directly into a river that goes who knows where, but it does have a toilet

11:32 "YOU CANNOT HIDE YOUR LADDERS FROM ME" -Brian David Gilbert, 12/09/2018
Can you imagine getting a ‘1926-Subpart R’ during a class presentation.
You know, this is making me feel rather grateful to the people who fought to have these laws actually forcibly enforced instead of just recommendation.
Safety is not to be taken lightly.
As the trade union saying goes, "Every labour law is written in worker's blood."
I am also glad they made these laws, I'm actually studying a course about U.S. history after the Civil War, and let me tell you it wasn't pretty during the Industrial Revolution. For example, elevators didn't have doors, and one time a child who was working there (another issue altogether) snuck on, and was laying on the floor to avoid being caught and her head got caught between a ledge or something as it was moving up, and you can imagine what happened. She was also blamed for her own death afterwards so the industry could avoid giving compensation (typical). Not to mention all the accidents with the machinery which cause limbs and lives to be taken as well. Also worth noting they were working very long hours and men were paid a dollar a day, women and children were paid even less. Additionally, poor civilians (mostly immigrations) were living in cramped, dirty and structurally unsound apartment buildings, even with other families because they can't afford to live somewhere better. There were safer and cleaner tenant buildings made later, but the regulations were ridiculously strict and biased that the landowner could kick them out for basically no reason. So essentially, living and working conditions of the working class were horrible. This turned into a brief history lesson, sorry about that, but I think I got my point across.
@@Silverwind87 maybe the real safety fans & bureaucratuc wunderkinds were the friends we made along the way
@@leafyeevee5939 Thank you for the brief history lesson. I should read more about the history of safety regulations and stuff like that. It sounds interesting.

“Recording and reporting injuries” I’m sorry, but have you ever finished a game? Every single stage specifically records and reports the exact amount you were injured, including the total severity of injury, the times you were knocked unconscious, self inflicted injuries, and the maximum severity of your injuries throughout your experience.
But is it being reported to OSHA? Recording injuries is fine, but the regulation is also about reporting those injuries to OSHA and prospective laborers and mechanics on the work site. This means that the regulation was not complied with. *VIOLATION!*

You should have used form 1910 for general industry standard for most of the stages, however 1926 is fine for the ones that have construction going on.

Go through the main protagonists/antagonists of every Final Fantasy game and figure out who's morning routine takes the longest to get that hair on point.
this idea made me crack up, thank you.
That sounds like a daunting yet intriguing idea for a video.
Honestly, it's Cloud pretty heavily, he's the only one where his hair is specifically, even in modern graphics (i.e. Dissidia), modeled to be totally nuts. The worst anyone else gets is a fairly specific style, I can't imagine someone like Squall maintains it to that degree. Lightning might beat him in terms of overall time and money spent rather than morning routine time, though. That is a lot of hair to keep up a permanent dye job on, and I think a complex haircut is doing most of the heavy lifting in the hairstyle department.
@@EinDose I mean, I know Cloud IS probably the right answer... But, I did say antagonists as well, so... uh... Seymour?
Maybe I was wrong focusing on just the hair? Maybe the better question is just the more generic and simple, "Which Final Fantasy character's morning routine takes the longest?" Some of those peeps have so many straps, buttons, and layers, that must take a good 10-15 minutes right there.

My biology teacher said that we couldn't use our own blood for a blood lab because it violates OSHA regulations. She asked us what OSHA was, and I knew because of this video.
Really? In Physiology we tested our own blood types... Oddly enough, most everyone was A+
@@ShoulderMonster Were they Asians?
We tested ours in 9th grade but our teacher told us they were potential hazardous waste (in case one of us had hepatitis or something) and made a point of disposing of them safely.

I love how they don’t have the team do the research and then spoon feed him what to say. You can tell he actually sits down and does all of this himself and it makes it a million times better. Thanks, Polygon, for making Brian suffer ❤️
I bet he has help on some of them though. Because some of them seem like an absolutly gargantuane amount of research to do. Though maybe not considering he spent like a year reading halo novels.

Just for the record, Boxing Ring is also in violation of OSHA. According to 1926.855(f) (the manual removal of floors), "when floor arches are being removed, employees shall not be allowed in the area directly underneath, and such an area shall be barricaded to prevent access to it." In Boxing Ring, there is an arch hanging directly above the ring where the fighters will most often be located, and it can be easily destroyed and knocked down onto our poor boys. Violation. We can then see how Boxing Ring is not "the only stage that is OSHA compliant," as Brian seems to claim in his exposé. Nonetheless, this is a very important video for the labor rights of all of our favorite magical combatants.
The employees are the ones double-twist-back-flip kicking that bitch down.
Omg lol I was thinking about that
Nice work
I'm glad someone else noticed
Ah, but that particular arch is only destroyed by combatants, making it destruction of property or vandalism on their part. Does that still count?
Congrats BDG, you are now qualified to be an OSHA rep on almost any work site

Slight problem: OSHA has no jurisdiction in Japan. RIP
Explains why Godzilla is allowed to level Tokyo every ten years.
Nintendo has a division in the US. This sounds like an interesting legal problem which I am not qualified or willing to decipher. Unlike Brian, I am not willing to read any amount of legal regulations.
Right but it's fair to say he couldn't get a Japanese version of their rules and then translate them for us. Going with an American equivalent is good enough for comedy. And osha is more relatable because most his audience is likely american, simply because youtube.
That only covers Mementos. OSHA has jurisdiction over every other stage, however.
Spoiler:Well this means reading the workplace safety laws in Japan,but that's after you know how to read the language.

Here's an idea: what is the economy of Animal Crossing? Like, is a plain garden weed worth THAT much?!?
I don't know if you still want the answer, but I always assumed that they paid you for getting rid of it as opposed to the actual object (like recycling). Maybe the island really invests a lot in sustainability.
@@emmanuelavalos6820 if so, why would they pay you for recycling things like flowers which can boost tourism or things like iron that would e better used on the island to make houses. also, I don't think a business man with a heart made of stone would care about recycling.
@@ziggyaustin2260 I think they do it because that's the general policy. If you forget that video game logic of daily rewards, nook miles is also another policy designed to incentivise residents to take better care of the island and have a fun time as well. And I do agree Tom Nook definitely looks at the business side of things (though lore implies he is learning to ease up on that), it's entirely possible that he just saw the policy as profitable and put it in place.
As for the case with the flowers, those do have their own value as a product, so I imagine that's why they have a price (if you aren't referring to the weeds in this case)
