Beware of bosses who cut short pressure tests for faster turnover.
This shortcut can cause dangerous leaks or explosions on site.

Cost cutting turns deadly fast. Why risk lives to save minutes?

Seriously, that reminds me of a contractor who skipped inspections.

Saw a leak last year from a shortcut test.

The 2018 gas line failure in Massachusetts started with a single skipped pressure check. We focus on the big disasters, but those small leaks Hayden mentioned are the real warning system. They show a pattern of ignored steps that builds over years before something gives way. It's not just one bad choice, it's a habit that gets baked into the work culture until it feels normal.
