The pits are an incredibly unorganized multi--function-shop-workspace that would be completely unacceptable in a real-world enviornment to OSHA or any other regulatory body, and we're so lightly scratching the surface of real-world safety standards that UL Safety Award is a joke. I'm surprised they're willing to put their name on the award.
Lol. Touché
