Makes my blood pressure spike every time I walk in the vicinity of that area

From the pics that shop  must be located in China.  How's the commute every day?

And OSHA beats us up twice a year.

Well, now that he has published those  pictures I suspect that OSHA will be paying him a visit shortly!

That is a miserably messy workplace.  My boss gives me a hard time about my lab bench, but your machine shop takes that to a whole different level...

Every drill press you pictured had a chuck, unless you meant chuck key?

I keep my shop the exact opposite; a place for everything and everything in its place. Clean up every mill or lathe spotless at the end of each day. I get very irritated to come in and find that someone has used equipment (99% of time drill press) and left chips on the floor and equipment and it happens way too often.

Sounds like ya'll need a visit from the 5S Squad.  (What is that? Essentially a fancy, production facility, term for PICK YER S&!T UP!

We have 5S at my work, to me it means "lets move $hit because we can" because wherever it was before is stupid.
It's just a bunch of people, getting out of their normal work to come and rearrange and then get free lunch...
OK rant over, Greg

Yes, Agreed, I was giving the short version.  There  is also the part where we throw a bunch of $&!t away that we will end up needing next month.  And signs and stickers and tape, Oh My.  Ya gotta throw some tape on the floor (or desk or ) around a random item and don't forget to label it, For goodness sake I might have not realized it was a trash can.  Oh Crap, forgot to take a before picture, so stage a mess, take a picture, then pick the mess back up, take another picture and fill out the project form so you get credit (Brownie Points  )

We just had a Major 5S in our lab at work. The guy who fixes all the insturments was just walking around in a panic because they were moving all his stashes of spare parts and throwing away tons of stuff. Nobody can find anything because they moved everything. Now they are going back and labeling and taping around insturments like they are crime scene investigators. They had to move the boxes of rubber gloves about 4 times, each size is in it's own drawer, then they reversed themselves and put the sizes in a different order. I am thinking WTF??
The only time we could do any samples is when they went to lunch, and the pictures, Oh My, they take a picture of everything, probably to show at their 5S way to go meeting where they will all get prizes.
I guess I should be more engaged and volunteer for this kind of thing, but I am more the type to get my work done and get the heck out of there.
OK second rant over.
