If signs, warnings, and lawyers could probably injuries, there'd never be any. And yet...

You'll have to use mallets now OP.
If they ban that, then tomahawks with a hammer head on the other end.

Worked at a place that wanted to ban all knives instead of firing idiots that would not wear PPE and cut with proper tools. I used a knife multiple times every day. Never cut myself. Would’ve had to just sit around and do nothing, I guess.

Ol' Jug Ears decided trannies were normal people and should be afforded all sorts of "rights". The level of SJW brown-nosing fuckery went thru the roof. Same thing heppened when that Kenyan Bastard opened up the combat MOS' to women. I cannot wait to retire. |

Where I worked, we went through a rash of injuries where where employees walked into walls and knocked themselves out. Then there was the lady who accidentally lit her hair on fire falling a sleep on the toilet while smoking in the no smoking building.

In spite of what Hollyweird shows, old west cowhands rarely carried a sidearm. And those that did didn’t usually have thr money to carry a ‘73 SAA. Sidearms were more likely to be a hodge podge of cap and ball revolvers, maybe with cartridge conversions. And they were more likely to be carried in a saddlebag to keep them out of the way.
They did not carry hammers, either. But sometimes a horse threw a shoe, or they had to repair fencing. So, if they had a handgun, they used it for a hammer. OP, you know what to do.

Hammer of dead?
One of the oil companies I was contracting with decided to ban regular utility knife blades after someone cut themselves by accident. They replaced the blades with hook blades. It didn't take them long to go back to the regular blades but the handles were all those stupid spring loaded contraptions that are a PITA to use.

They recently removed hammers from our production floors. Someone hit themselves.
Previously banned, utility knife, pointed scissors, and sharp screwdrivers. My favorite ban was the scissor, person cut themselves modifying a glove that they were wearing with it still on their hand. Instead of writing the person up for modifying ppe, we take the scissors away. |

Best part, they didn't have any idea what information they wanted. So we measured every step and didn't list a single location. They didn't have a spot for that on their form. Hahahaha. I gave them piles of measurements from everywhere with no clue as to where it came from. I love, "we gotta do something" decisions. I make lots of money and typically get a good laugh. |

I recently worked for a big box store that frequently had surprise delivery trucks. I don't mean once in a while. I mean sometimes a few times a day. The trucks came from no more than a six hour drive away, from the same company.

I work in a federal building.
Golf clubs, hockey sticks and baseball bats are banned items. Including the onsite parking garage. Knives under 2.5 inches are allowed and they give me scissor that are 6 inches long in the office. Huge level of stupidity. ( I park in a off site garage so I am not subject to their search’s.)’ Had a random search the other day and had my 3 inch knife taken away while going into the building. Security gave it back on my way out. No big deal. |

I work in the oilfield. I see all sorts of stupid shit in the name of safety. I'm still allowed to have a hammer though, thank god. I just need to wear impact gloves whenever I'm using one.
Its just a part of life anymore. You follow the rules and do your work. If it takes longer in the name of safety it's no big deal. |
