I’m pretty sure there was a thread somewhere in here that had photos of questionable safety practices such as this. http://forums.taunton.com/n/mb/at.asp?webtag=tp-breaktime&guid=836E1521-2043-478F-A4A1-55A2B520C37D&frames=no Can’t find it, but would love to.
Thanks,

Whats wrong?
Should the orange ladder be on top? That seems like it would be less stable!

What's wrong???? There should be a third person holding the smaller ladder so that it won't wiggle when the guy with the hedge clippers reaches up to trim near the power lines.
but look at the prices on the gas sign! zero zero something! The free market works!
No safety regs = cheap gas! The republicans were right!
OSHA pulled the thread. It was giving us too many ideas. :>)
We'll just have to start a new one...

Compliments of the http://safetycenter.navy.mil/ website. Where they have a safety picture of the week. Or is that unsafe picture of the week.

Load Rating?!? Another Naval safet center picture
what is the orange-ladder pick? A skyscraper built with 2x4s?
Wasn't the thread labeled 'Why women live longer than men'?
Then there was a whole lot of pictures like these.

Remember that one with the scaffolding made of bales of straw.... that was one of my favorite.
Still, all candidates for Darwin awards. BTW - pissed on any power lines lately? :-)

This guy looks like he's frozen in place! Probably got a death grip on that ladder.

The only thing I can think of when I see pictures like that is the conversation that went on prior to the shmuck climbing the ladder.
Pop, lock, and drop it.

I think he just stayed at the top of the rig while his buddy drove the truck to the next light! It looks like they took into account the flex necessary for the structure to survive off road travel.
I bet someone was holding someones beer.

I love the El Paso fridge one. Here's one I took yesterday of an electrician buddy of mine. We were doing a teller line remodel I did the undercounter and alarms. His company did the electric. I didn't pay much attention to what was going on until I heard him and another guy trying to find a breaker by touching wires together trying to trip the circuit. I looked up and he was standing on an aluminum ladder arcing the neutral and hot together trying to get the breaker to trip. It wouldn't. I then offered to take his picture with my cell phone to show his girlfriend his last moment alive. He grabbed his wiggy and they went about it the proper way except for the ladder. His was already put up and he didn't want to bother. (I would have) The bad thing about it is the guy that he was working with is teaches an apprentice program. True it's not a safety program. But he should at least set an example.

what the hell kind of electrician even owns a metal ladder ?
...hopefully the teacher is teaching his kids about such stupid things, although it does not look like it sunk in with your buddythat shot belongs with the rest of those "why women........" pics.

I think they had already loaded theirs up when they remembered it. He just grabbed it without thinking or thought ,it won't hurt just this once. You know I was all over his ####. It was just one of those times when it could have turned into a What the F were they thinking moment had he got lit up.
