I remember this making Reddit’s front page by way of r/osha - back when Reddit was good.
What, are you gonna drain the pool every time you need to use the scissor lift?
I’m not sure a cherry picker would work here but I don’t know enough about cherry pickers to be able to answer for sure. Like cherry pickers are meant more for up than out and these guys aren’t more than like 16ish feet up and are probably further than that from the closest pool edge, the boom might not be able to go that far out that low with any sort of load on it.
What are those? 16m lanes?
Shake hands with danger…
If it works and it’s stupid - It’s still stupid but damn those make for good pictures on the internet
Pool. Floating dock. Strapped on scissor lift. Definitely in the SOP binder ;)
This is definitely unstable – a lever arm that long is going to sway like hell.
Additionally, normally when working at heights you should be harnessed and clipped on. But if this thing tips over, you’d spend precious moments trying to unclip while underwater. A conundrum to be sure.
I’ve been reading coroner inquest results and recommendations recently, which are mandatory for workplace deaths in my province.
The only thing I can think of looking at this is a coroner and five other people all drafting a document with the simple recommendation “Maybe fucking don’t?”
