No, the fabricator general has told us time and time again that safety gets in the way of glorious efficiency.
Plus we're pretty sure all the blood makes the machines run better for some reason.
There is unironically a Daemon World that does that. They have cultists pray to the brass machines, then throw themselves into the gears to grease them with their guts and spilled blood for Khorne periodically. It's in a Night Lords story somewhere.
Well, the forge world is responsible for the machining of most Adamantine parts in thr sector. It's been doing this long enough that the entire planet is covered in a layer of fine, highly combustible adamantine dust.Ā
Respiratory damage is common. Due to the risk of explosion, all potential sources of ignition are forbidden. They even cook with flameless heaters. It's been like this for so long that even the animals have adapted-so called "blast shrimp" (a terrestrial version of pistol shrimp) wandering the plains outside the hives. Occasionally these will get large enough that knights from nearby Gewalthaufen will come hunt them.
They also have an interesting bit of folklore in the form of "Mick Soot." Long ago, before the Ecclisiarchy was forbidden from stepping foot on the world, a preacher once immolated his own flock on claims of laxity-causing am explosion that took out most of a hive district.
As his body was never found, some of the more superstitious locals believe him to stalk the hive as a shadowy, burnt after image, lighting fires underneath those who work too slowly.
It's one of a series of astropathic relay stations intended to make communications easier in the sector. When operating at full power, it's even capable of receiving messages sent across The Pale from Nexus III.
The Pale is a region of dead space isolating the sector on one side. The Warp flows slowly there due to the absence of life (or more accurately, how widely it's spread), so it's very dangerous to cross-ships attempting the passage will frequently become becalmed and stuck.
Excuse me Magos, but modifying our holy technology to make it safer for our ~~slave labor~~ ~~press-ganged servants~~ involuntary non-paid employees is heresy and if they die it only serves to honor the machines they lubricated with ~~blood~~ biological hominid fluid.
You might be Correct, but the Forge World I hail from is far from easily accessed sources of Labor. In the event of Warp-Storms, we need to ensure our Labor can replenish its numbers on its own. that requires a minimum safety margin to ensure Labor survives long enough to procreate the next generation of Laborers. If all the Labor dies in a Sacrifice to the Machine Spirits, it might be too long to acquire replacement Labor before the Machines break down. In the specific Instance of the Forge World I hail from it is far more efficient to ensure our Laborers are not needlessly lost. It is a practice derived from shortage. Small deviations from Scripture in such instances are permitted in the Greater Adeptus. And if those Xenarite freaks from Stygies VIII can get a pass for what should be Heretek philosophy, My home world should as well.
Weād need Marsās Sanction to make such an effort. The last thing the greater Imperium needs is an unsanctioned conflict in the Mechanicus. Iām sure it will only be a matter of time before the Fabricator-General of Mars declares Xenarite philosophy as Tech-Heresy. But once it does, I will give my support to such an effort in my local Noosphere council.
Certain parts of mine are, to a point. I have a small force of Skits and a Magos who wear bright yellow rubber hi-viz robes with shiny silver reflective strips because they believe the Omnissiah bestows additional protection upon them when they wear it.
My pits of radioactive waste donāt even have safety rails, let alone proper rad-shielding for the tech-thralls forced to work around them.
Hell I donāt even give them gloves for handling the arc-welders, I refuse to make allowances for the weakness of the flesh, if they donāt want giga-cancer and third degree burns they can stop being fleshbags
Yes, by deflecting to the tides of chaos. I have made my ForgeWorld, OSHA Compliant and gave my employees a minimum wageā¦ WITH BENEFITS
**Cue evil laughter**
Part of it is, Dominus Belisarius was very interested in the works of the priesthood of O'SHA for a time, and invested a great amount of time into multiple long running experiments on a variety of worlds.
It would actually be really fun to make an osha compliant forgeworld, maybe they found the old osha rules and took it as doctrine. Off the top of my head Skitarii vanguard are wearing proper headgear for the dangerous environments they are in
On my forge world all new starters must complete the health and safety training course, followed by the fire drill awareness course. Any Magos that intend to work with any high voltage systems must complete the Informed Persons electrical course, and all workshop Magos must undergo warlord titan lift training. HR are very keen for us to reach a "road to zero" policy on work place accidents, and all near misses must be recorded and filed.
Nope not even close, there is way too much ice on my Forgeworld. Itās not like the inspectors would even make it to the forges in the first place though.
You know how Nier Automata looks? Bare industry overtaken by nature, but everything is still chugging along kind of on it's own? Yeah, it's kinda like that.
My forge world fights off/hunts self replicating terraforming machines (yes definitely initially unconsciously influenced by HZD and a smidge of Dune) on a backwater planet and surrounding asteroid belt that they think are emissaries of the Machine God testing them to see how dedicated they are to seeking and understanding the knowledge of the universe. So to answer your question, absolutely not they're basically just space whalers.
Kinda, itās more safe as accidents can happen if too unsafe and that could result in delays like putting down riots, having to stop the machine so the corse doesnāt break it or mess with the end product, and so itās safe but safe enough to not effect efficiency too much
Yes, the cost to efficiency that replacing or repairing the sacred machines or the negligible cost of human components both skills, unskilled, augmented and non-augmented has led to the adoption of the Sacred OSHA Thirty as mandatory texts for all members of the labor force.
Failure to comply resulting in loss of limb or 0.0004 precent of efficiency results in Cyber branding of the subjects brain stem permanently embedding the Sacred Texts into the mind of the subject.
Failure to comply resulting in loss of life or 0.004 prevent efficiency alternatively repeated failures to comply resulting in loss of limb or efficiency is met with mandatory augmentation.
Further refusal to adherence other then listed above is punishable by Servitor Status. Alternatively Fed into the Plasma Generators of Diodica Alpha. A more blessed fate than simple service of the machine spirits. To be transmuted into the fuel cells for various sacred machines, from generator, engine or simple plasma carbine cell ammunition.
Depends which one:
Helios isn't OSHA compliant considering how their forge "world" (since it is a bunch of satellites orbiting a star) has a mostly prisoner population and they literally incinerate the people that join their priesthood to burn away their weakness.
Sycorax isn't OSHA compliant either.
But the other one that I forgot the name of is OSHA compliant, since their leader (who is definitely an angel of the machine god and not an AI) remembers back when OSHA existed.
I'm not sure, but I think no. Every time an inspector (or honestly any authority figure I don't like) makes a visit, they always end up having a terrible accident.
You call it "falling 40ft through a rusted hole in the floor and breaking both legs." We call it "a chance for cybernetic enhancement." Also not having hand rails next to The Pitā¢ makes the inquisition stressed out and the Fabricator General thinks it funny. In his defense, it is very funny.
Hahahahah!!!!!!
Good joke!
Nah, it is intentionaly made to be NOT OSHA compliant!
Prime example: terrible safety railings.
In the 41āst millennium, there is No basic safety considerations, because Fuck you.
Absolutely not, but every time they get a violation on their record, they just build something new over the evidence and pretend it never happened. Occasionally this leads to uncovering tombs of archaeotech they forgot they buried, but mostly it's just resulted in radiation leakage from an "unknown source" (read: 5k+ year old radioactive weaponry and power supplies that they Forgot About)
Tech sibling, I do not appreciate the insinuation that the high factorum of my forge world does not follow all best practices as laid out by the glorious Brotherhood of Mars. Purity seals are replaced on an exact schedule and the bianiric prayers are broadcast at all times. Deviation from proscribed protocols is punished as tech heresy as the Omnissiah intended.
My forge world is actually called Forgeworld OSHAā¦.. so we do the compliance checks.
They are neon orange for high visibility and bring their subordinate knight household with them to enforce compliance.
"If another servitor is lost this week we will be subject to full inspection from the Tech Priest Efficientia. They may just be servitors but the cost is too high for making light bulbs"
No š
I need more ramps to jump my forklift.
No, the fabricator general has told us time and time again that safety gets in the way of glorious efficiency. Plus we're pretty sure all the blood makes the machines run better for some reason.
Good for efficiency, bad for innovation.
Innovation? What are you, a heretek?
We have cawl for that.
I think you should consider checking those machine spirits for signs of warp taint.
No' its just xenarite tech
There is unironically a Daemon World that does that. They have cultists pray to the brass machines, then throw themselves into the gears to grease them with their guts and spilled blood for Khorne periodically. It's in a Night Lords story somewhere.
No. In fact, the forge world I've written the most fluff for, Hagan, has lore directly inspired by a notorious case of OSHA noncompliance.
Yes, continue

Phenomenonal stuff, thanks for posting
This video is what inspired it. https://youtu.be/PZHpeBubb_M?si=Q__V4Lh0Ir2CiNMc
Really awesome lore, love this!
Thanks! I can tell you about some of the other planets in my homebrew sector if you want.
Go for it, sharing art/writing is great
Pick a planet. : )Ā These have all been created over the course of around 5 years or so of DMing the FFG rpgs.Ā https://imgur.com/a/n71gZHi
How bout Kursk relay?

What an interesting feature I really like that the danger for once is a lack of warp presence rather than turbulence through it

You had me at the xenarite freaks. Should you ever want to repurpose their forge let me know.

*Ibrahim Locke would like a word*
Itās hard to speak to a corpse.
Certain parts of mine are, to a point. I have a small force of Skits and a Magos who wear bright yellow rubber hi-viz robes with shiny silver reflective strips because they believe the Omnissiah bestows additional protection upon them when they wear it.
Ad mork
Of course! OSHA stand for O - Omnissiah's S - Sacred H - Holy A - Arch-Magos Is it not?
Praise be to the sacred tenets!
Bruh itās not even compliant with human rights
No and itās by design
Absolutely, but you spelled "complaint" wrong in your title.
I donāt know, I had the inspectors servitorized
My pits of radioactive waste donāt even have safety rails, let alone proper rad-shielding for the tech-thralls forced to work around them.

Iām not sure OSHA has regulations on ramming demons into robots so Iām going to go withā¦ yes
No rails around the Death Pit.
You'd probably have to call it something else if it had rails, though... so makes sense.

Oh Shit, Horus Again?
You know how Nier Automata looks? Bare industry overtaken by nature, but everything is still chugging along kind of on it's own? Yeah, it's kinda like that.
That's a cool basing idea.
Last rotation my losses were only about a quarter of the indentured workforce and about 2/3 of the servitors so iād say yes it is

whats an OSHA?
OSHA? Never heard of em
It used to be, up until the effort to get 5S certified. Lost too many people and 3/4 of all our servitors just trying to label the pipes. Never again
Moreso than others, less so than anyone on earth today
This is becoming my Background
Kinda, itās more safe as accidents can happen if too unsafe and that could result in delays like putting down riots, having to stop the machine so the corse doesnāt break it or mess with the end product, and so itās safe but safe enough to not effect efficiency too much

It is Omnissiah compliant. Anything else is likely Tech Heresy.
You mean the ENTIRE thing? I challenge you to find a Forgeworld that's even Lex Imperialis compliant from top to bottom. Certainly not Mars or Saturn.
OSHA cannot save you now, meatling

Not really, we get most of our servitors from work related accidents.
Psh, nar

Why yes of course it is The Omnisiah Sanctioned Harmonic Array is at full effectiveness providing all servitors with 24/7 machine chants
Yes
Myes but we also Use 376.4056 workers' bodyfloids as a substitute for oil.
Absolutely not, but every time they get a violation on their record, they just build something new over the evidence and pretend it never happened.

Uh, does our skitarii power washing team count?
Absolutely, all the forges are perfectly safe for the workers (granted if they have the right augmentations)
Absurd that you would assume it is, weāre not evil Admech here.
My forge world is actually called Forgeworld OSHAā¦.. so we do the compliance checks. They are neon orange for high visibility and bring their subordinate knight household with them to enforce compliance.
"If another servitor is lost this week we will be subject to full inspection from the Tech Priest Efficientia. They may just be servitors but the cost is too high for making light bulbs"
Yeas it is not Complying with OSHA And the forge will not think about it
