Make sure you have all your PPE.

Hard hat ✔️ Safety glasses ✔️ Swimmies ✔️

The only issue is they aren't wearing harnesses in case they fall off.

Ok I'll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.

Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what's wrong with work health and safety.

The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.

If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.

Nobody is going accidentally bump your balcony with a forklift or any other equipment.

I can't imagine OSHA would approve this

One has to wonder. They have the equipment, someone saw fit to buy and and then use it.

Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.

If it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid, and you're lucky.
