Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

"Stubbornly protesting improper installation of outer doors in violation of OSHA regulations."

Doors opening outward is usually safer in case of a fire or other evacuation scenario.

Fact. New builds in Scandinavia are often built to have the front door open onto the street for that very reason.

Same in the US. Very nearly all exterior doors in public buildings open outward for safe egress. Doors in homes tend to open inward (presumably to protect the hinges.)

I think it's for security reasons. The hinges are one z but the latches are also protected if the door opens inward. If it's outward, you need to spend a lot more to secure them.

And outward facing doors are only really needed for areas with high volume of traffic where people could pile up at the doors in an emergency. That's not a concern in a house with a handful of people.

We had an audit two weeks ago and they had a bunch of inner safety doors rebuilt the other way around for that very reason. They had just been built a month before, too!
