You have obviously never had any safety training or you are kidding.

If OHSA saw this happening there would be major fines.

Most times fall protection of some sort is needed at 6' and above.

Bob, you are so right. In about 1980 a young carpenter fell about 9 feet down an empty residential stairwell on a site in my village in Gloucestershire, England, which scaling from the doorway in pic. 1 is about the same height of fall. He was killed instantly, as he fell right on top of his head. I knew the constable who had to go to his house and tell his wife and kids.....

There is no excuse for the kind of risk taking shown in these pics- they could have hired and had delivered a couple of towers for a few bucks and done the job faster, with half the men and little risk of injury or fines.

For those with a high speed connection, here is a warped (I like it ) fork lift safety video.

It's in German, but it is clear as to the points it makes even to those of us who do not speak it.

For those with a slower type connection, you should down load and save it.

Klaus was just having a bad day.... "Cut" the guy some slack...

Gotta love the upbeat music at the end of the video LMAO

The best thing about this is that they are putting up a sign promoting safety!

That video was great! Thanks for the laugh!
