Ladder looks like bamboo to me.

You see all kinds of crazy things overseas. At the former Clark AB in the Philippines I saw a fork lift in the bed of a pick up with the forks raised with a ladder tied to the forks with a guy standing on the ladder DRIVING across the tarmac to paint the top of a hanger.
One day I was in my office in a different hanger when I got a strong smell of gasoline. I walked into the hanger and they were scrubbing the floor with gasoline. I called back to Japan and told them I was going home for the day.
These were the same guys that installed the exhaust fan for the x-ray lab backwards.
On another day in neighboring Angeles City I watched as a couple guys leaned an aluminum extension ladder against power lines and climbed it to do some maintenance.

Should have shoved the baco-mobile about 8 foot and mounted from there...!
If that's # 12 I'd hate to see # 13.
Pretty sure I don't want that fella' holding the ladder to take a swing at me . . .

The fact that people think "OHSA," means we are government owned. Sad.
I'm pretty sure this picture wasn't taken in the USA so OSHA wouldn't apply.is that these guys are not concerned with OHSA in the least...just a gut feeling!
An addendum for sticklers & dummies: Once again, this is just a random pic, I realize it wasn't shot in the USA, so OHSA wouldn't apply...
I'm neither a stickler or a dummie. I'm a smartmouth...big difference.
Just pretend this is witty.

I no longer have the picture of an OSHA cowboy, but if OSHA would have been in business in the 1870's we would not have had cowboys.
OSHA is a government attempt to thwart the annual Darwin awards by making folks so buy reading up before you do a lockout one never has time to actually do the job.
Sorry, do I sound like a disgruntled survivor who dealt with them for 40 years?
Coincidence, my wife was the person who made sure her hospital was OSHA compliant.
My son is a production manager, he was given the OSHA compliance role for his company.
I did it for many years. It is a subject we never discussed away from our jobs. It's sort of like sticking body parts in a blender. Oh, I guess that is not OSHA compliant either.

Wonder what happened to 1-11. I hope that job had a ton of benefits along with a nice salary cause I don't think the retirement plan was too good.
We used to have a line up of pictures of people doing dumb stuff like this at work. One of my favorites was the guys working on a pallet lifted on a small forklift that was being lifted by a larger fork lift.
Some of the jury rigged scaffolds are pretty good examples of why we have safety departments also.
Another of my favorite pictures was of the guy who was running a 3/4" drive impact gun and stuck hi finger in the 3/4" nut in a deep socket and then managed to hit the trigger and thread the nut all the way onto his finger. After looking at it I figured the only good way to get the nut off was to put the gun in reverse. LOL

OSHA wasn't enacted.....
OSHA wasn't enacted here until 1970. I saw some really cockamamy things going on right here. I was told somewhere around 1980 that we couldn't have open belt drives. In a factory we had a lot of open belt drives. Later yet, a guy was killed when someone intercepted gas bottles, put them in a land fill and told some poor guy to knock the valves off with a sledge hammer and assured him that the bottles were empty. They weren't. In our lab we didn't necessarily use all of a bottle of specialty gases, in this case, Hydrogen Sulfide, a deadly gas. The picture is funny, but before OSHA was created, there were 14,000 workplace fatalities here every year. Eventually, that was reduce to a few hundred. I've seen the OSHA cowboy and I know that the agency can be a real pain in the ***, especially with the rise of frivolous lawsuits. (We got a large piece of equipment that was PLASTERED with every kind of warning label you could think of) Anyway, the over all effect of OSHA has been really positive.

I've heard that....
I've heard that said and it's sometimes true that what does not kill you makes you stronger so often that it's gotten to be an accepted truth. But sometimes it leaves you maimed, with loss of faculties or in a weakened state where you can't fight off diseases that a healthy person could.

I feel sorrier for the folks in the apartment behind this guy !!!
This dude is just chillin'. Doesn't look the least bit concerned.
Perhaps he is the company Armorer and he has set the sights
on all range guns. So he's confident.

Yeah, after looking closer, I think you're right.
Even safer! Shoot
