It has long been popular wisdom that unless a job demands it, we should never work with animals or children. There are some professions where this advice is a heck of a lot more important than others, primarily because introducing pets or kids into the situation would be a severe health hazard. Those pesky OSHA regulations that so many love to complain about? They are there for very valid reasons.

Nonetheless, this doesn’t stop some who seem to lack common sense from engaging in careless behavior like bringing young kids into a high-risk workplace. While all parents know how difficult it can be to get childcare sometimes, there are limits on what can be done when the babysitter doesn’t pull through and you are due to show up at work. This is especially true if you work in an environment that is known for accidents. It is something that simply shouldn’t be done.
