I thought I had done some silly things with ladders until I saw these photos:

Fuck WAY off. :no: No amount of money would get me up there. I think my heart stopped beating at one point.

I can't believe that they're climbing on those thin metal juts coming out from the tower. You'd think it would be enclosed in cage or something ?!!!

god damn it!

I've been a safety professional for 10 years and those photos all go back further that that. Bloody internet!

Here's one I took myself:

I used to work in a yard based in a farm that rented out a barn to a company refurbing pallets. The lads routinely used forklifts with a pallet on to get someone high up, pretty much standard there. The exception, the exception that got them removed from the premises, was when as a practical joke while a lad was stood on the pallet, on the raised lift, the driver then replaced his foot with a brick and set the forklift off down the very long drive! I missed seeing the event myself, no-one got hurt but I'm not sure how! The same lads once shrink wrapped the farmers nephew and put him in a (shallow) water trough, the teenage nephew was such a complete little shit they only got bollocked for that!

How'd you manage that shot... you're standing on that pallet after all...

I was going to say, that was standard practice at a few job sites.

I had a supervisor install a die on a 150-ton press beside my workstation (smaller press). When it was used first, it made a funny sound.

The (young FNG) operator said that something was wrong right away, and the supervisor came back to see. He watched the press cycle (punching holes in 1/4" aluminum) and said it was fine. I was also watching. From my seated position, I saw the top half of the die come away from it's mount as the press retracted. I told him as much and he barked something like 'IT'S FINE, GET BACK TO WORK'.

We did, and after a few more cycles, the young fellow complained again. He got yelled at and told if he didn't want to do it, someone else would.

I had worked there about a year, so thought he might listen to me. I reminded him that the supervisor was responsible and possibly liable if someone got hurt. He disagreed with me and dismissed me back to my workstation.

FNG went back to it, and a few cycles later, there was a big bang. After looking into things, a chunk of the die, a piece of steel the size of a small coffee cup, had broken off the die and ended up across the room.
It had left a big chip in a cinder-block wall on the other side of the shop.

It had barely lost any altitude. If it had hit someone, I would say at least serious injury.

I was pissed and called OH&S (gub'ment overseers) and talked to an 'officer'. I wanted something done about it that would change things, rather than just get me hated. What I finally suggested (and she agreed that it should be an appropriate level of intervention) was that she send, from her office and letterhead, a copy of the relevant law about supervisors responsibility to the supervisor who acted like an ass.

Oh, and c/c the president of the company.

Would you believe, the event affected change? There was a new procedure put in place for installing and checking dies (they do cost in the tens of thousands, after all) and a clear message posted about refusing unsafe work.

I asked that it be anonymous, so I wouldn't have to put up with that asshat being vengeful, but he accused FNG of ratting him out, and I was standing there and told him who ratted him out. I also told him why. Looking him straight in the eye from slapping distance :)

That was just a bit over 10 years ago.

I don't think what I asked for was directly responsible. That supervisor likely still thinks he isn't responsible or potentially liable (though he was told). The thing is, by getting OH&S involved, it reminded them that people with connections were watching, and at a time when they were ready to do something about it.

I hope they got just a bit more afraid. There was a lot of room for improvement there. The boss really was a good guy, but safety is only a recent invention in most industrial settings.

I used to see people regularly do it without the pallet. Good friends on mine, too. Thankfully, I'm an ass at my current job. Told them I would get them fired if I ever saw it again, and I haven't.

I would still ride the forks of a pallet to get a job done, under certain circumstances. Dogma is for pussies.

But I DO encourage the safest way of working at things like that.
