It's the first time I've seen it, it's not a yearly inspection either. They were all "corrected" with immediate action which waved the charge. We had to sign some paperwork that we acknowledged how to safely use these giant slots that we drop full pallets of product into, it has one immediately behind it that will slide forward when the front pallet is emptied and removed (by hand). This posed a hazard that somebody would get pinned between the pallet and the scaffolding that keeps it at an incline. I guess it works like food inspections here in the US, they show up when they want to and if you can fix the problem on the spot they don't shut you down.

The part of the story I don't get is if the elevator car was on the first floor then how did she die without anybody noticing? Didn't they hear her banging on the door, or did everyone walking past just think "not my problem"?

The elevator was shut down just before Chinese New Year, which is basically Spring Break, but applies to everyone and lasts longer.

A resident of the apartment complex, surnamed Ding, told Sohu News that the building management service was poor and routinely ignored residents’ complaints about the frequently broken elevators and other matters.

“There’s now a shadow across my heart. It’s scary, and it gives me shivers to pass by” that part of the building, the resident said. “To think of this happening in one’s own building.”

It was an apartment complex, why would that be completely empty for Chinese New Year?

People don't stay home for Chinese New Year.

Think thanksgiving plus Christmas plus Easter plus spring break, minus Black Friday. You will not get gently caress all done in China over CNY. Factories shut down. poo poo even eBay has a standard warning saying "hey the poo poo you ordered is probably going to be a month late, it's CNY right now."

I can't speak for OSHA, but I can for MSHA violations. And the answer is yes. The majority of violations will be little things that can be fixed in under an hour, and they will be. Then you get some fines that are pretty serious, but the company will fight tooth and nail to not pay. Then if you're really unlucky you get some massive fines that can shut the entire place down until it gets fixed.

I don't know if it's the same for OSHA, but a few years ago MSHA moved to be entirely self funded with funds that come from collecting on violations. So the more they can stick you with, the better it is for them.

I can speak to the OSHA violations based on job experiences with larger government contractors over the past 15 years.
It's quite common to get hit with multiple violations. I'd be more surprised if someone got away with fewer than 20 of them. OSHA has many finely grained violations and categories. That makes it really easy for an inspector - who is there for just that reason - to find something, anything, pretty much anywhere.
The few OSHA inspections I can remember always resulted in 35-100 violations. That's for rather large working environments, though - several hundred square miles big and a few thousand workers. An inspector would only pick one building/job site at a time, though.

The attitude is this: Pretty much anything can be made even safer. Or at least more tedious.

This is amazing. From the questioning of the boss, it seems clear that 'fireable offenses' are anything that the Boss has not done himself. "Not-fireable offsenses", on the other hand, are clearly all poo poo he's done before.

Setting fires on purpose? No biggie.
Small explosions? Don't worry about it.
making GBS threads in a co-workers lunch box? Look, these pranks happen literally everywhere.
making GBS threads in the direction of a co-worker during field work? It might be fireable, but only if it goes on for a while.

Not properly communicating with the boss about those explosions? YOU'RE FIRED!!!
