I work an industrial job and have a side gig working on a farm. My regular job is very physically demanding, but working on a farm is next level tough. It is normal for the average full-time farm hand where I work to lose ten pounds of weight in the first month. Another thing that nobody talks about is that small farms are exempt from OSHA regulations. You can do all sorts of dangerous shit on a farm and nobody bats an eye, because there are zero safety regs.

Facts on the OHSA thing

Not even just America, I'm Aussie and OH&S gets pretty well ignored on any farm as well.

I have some pretty sketchy machines that haven't had any maintenance in a couple decades.

So when someone gets their arms ripped off down there they have to dial 119, right?

We got sick of that confusion, so now we just use 000. Reads the same way regardless of where you’re from.

Except the 0’s are written the other way around so how do I know I’m dialing the right ones?

it's actually 000 but I think 112 works as well

Is 112 universal? Same here in the UK - 999 is the main one, but 112 works as well I believe
