Now that I work retail, it's normally more mundane, like forgetting something in an oven, but back in my factory days...

About once to twice a week, something caught fire. Sometimes outside the plants, sometimes inside. Hell, on one occasion, while I was actively working inside the thing that caught fire!

Another common one some coworkers had were getting caught in vehicle lifts and crushed/cut in half. Close calls were more frequent than they had any right to be.

Basically, factory work is fucking dangerous, no one should be in that shit, we need massive safety reforms, and those need to come with lowered output expectations, because that is a major part of the stress people are under in a lot of those places. Yeah they're skipping key safety steps, you've given them 20 jobs to do in just as many seconds, and the safety shit adds on time.
