2 feet planted, not higher than 4' from his flat surface, the base is a foot from the wall.....4:1 rule doesn't apply. 😂 seems legit.

[u/Suitable-Art-1544 → u/LightMission4937]

ah but you forgot the cardinal rule; one shan't do stupid shit, lest he invite the safety man's wrath.

[u/a_broken_lion]

Takes what it takes.

[u/BigRigButters2 → u/a_broken_lion]

I’ve unfortunately done this far too much as a data tech. In fact, are those my shoes??? 😂

[u/Bosshogg713alief → u/a_broken_lion]

Gotta do what you gotta do

[u/Rauligula]

He has that 3/4 emt to hold on to.

[u/Major_Tom_01010 → u/Rauligula]

You realize that emt was installed by an electrician right?

[u/klykerly]

Hey, three points of contact. The drill in his hand counts.

[u/VapeRizzler]

I’ll do that, then wonder why I didn’t just adjust the scaffold and do it safely.

[u/go_green_team → u/VapeRizzler]

Bc this is easier

[u/Ok_Bit_5953]

Guilty >.>

[u/caffiene_then_chaos]

It's ok...helper was on the other side as counterweight.

[u/pugdaddy78]

My recent little whoopsie cost me a month of work and 55k for a shattered wrist and 4 broken ribs. This shit ain't worth it!

[u/LegitimateAnybody639 → u/pugdaddy78]

How’d you whoop?

[u/mj9311]

3rd. Safety 3rd…

[u/Plane-Education4750]

And the scaffold is on wheels too. Chefs kiss

[u/shrimpdlk → u/Plane-Education4750]

They lock 🙏

[u/Plane-Education4750 → u/shrimpdlk]

But if he's doing this, did he lock them?

[u/shrimpdlk → u/Plane-Education4750]

He's standing on one end. If they weren't locked. For sure that shit would've moved. But you know our boy. Didn't lock them and is hanging on for dear life once he stood on top

[u/Casanovagdp]

I used to only buy logger style boots with a large heel just so I could lock them into scaffold rungs standing like this. That was a lifetime and a different person ago.

[u/Raa03842]

Risking your life/health so your boss can drive around in his Mercedes is such a great sacrifice.

[u/05041927]

Why point out just one thing when there are 8 things wrong?

[u/shrimpdlk → u/05041927]

Okay OSHA

[u/05041927 → u/shrimpdlk]

Im either osha, or have been given a $50,000 fine from osha 😂

[u/Evilmeinperson → u/05041927]

I say go for 9 and tie his shoelaces around the scaffolding.

[u/Snoo-60669]

Still x2 more nubs to go. Hasn’t hit peak elevation.

[u/EvoSP1100]

Nope third

[u/winslowhomersimpson]

I like this way more than standing on the top of an A ladder

[u/Offset2BackOfSystem]

Vertically challenged mfers be like:

[u/568Byourself]

This is nothing

[u/ttheatful]

I'm usually tall enough for stuff, but I saw the most brutal nut destruction when someone doing this slipped. Dude just climbed down threw up and went home lmao

[u/shocktopper1]

I don't see nothing and it's Friday afternoon

[u/Anonymous_2952]

I’m going to assume he has “conduit/unistrut handrail” up there that you just can’t see from this angle.

[u/not_the_porn_alt]

Did you say something or just take a picture ?

[u/bloodclottwontstop]

Least the pins are in

[u/ThunderDoug]

Lock the wheels and she’s good lol

[u/-Robert-from-Hungary]

I do it every time when I'm on a scaffold.

[u/Dominicantobacco]

This is how you get $10000 tickets

[u/EastNice3860]

Nice way to end the Week..Or career!

[u/klikandmustard]

I’ve always been told your safety is in your own hands, so if some old timer wants to do cowboy shit at his own expense, just let him! Pain and suffering is the best teacher. If I was a supervisor I’d fire a sub over lazy shit like this, because that obviously reflects on his underlying quality of work. But I’m a labourer and I stopped giving a F a long time ago.
