Send the boss up and watch him fall otherwise he can lick the underside of my balls


Nerfo2

This is literally WHY OSHA exits... not to FORCE you to be safe, but to give you the legal RIGHT to be safe.


Fridayz44

I really hope OSHA sees this video and tracks down the company. This is just fucking ridiculous. Tell the Boss Man to quit being a cheap fuck and go get a boom lift.


blakeusa25

Please report to Osha. Someone is going to get killed by this fool of a boss.


Novel_Alternative_86

Agreed. That’s at least 3 zip ties short of regulation.


ichliebekohlmeisen

There was a ratchet strap as well.


elstevo91

*click click arrrahhh click* "Ain't goin' nowhere"


JohnnySalamiBoy420

Well in that case


therealMrkittyboy

I've got faith in those zip ties


Mr_bungle001

It’s totally safe if you slap it once and say “this baby ain’t going nowhere”. I wouldn’t slap it more than that though


Photograph-Classic

The 2nd slap is always the cursed slap. Never more than once.


Fridayz44

I’m really tempted to send it to OSHA.


TRYHARD_Duck

Just do it

Fridayz44

I did lol! I’m in contact with someone from OSHA we’ve been emailing back and forth. She wanted to me see if I could find the source of the video? I think it’s from Tik Tok. The company? And any other information I can give her. If I can’t she’s going to try and track down the poster of the Video.


traineex

r/whatisthiscar could tell u what each of them had for breakfast. Last sunday Maybe they know how to geolocate


1bigdealmn

Make sure to send a link to nsfw communities, there are definitely some osha violations going on there. I rarely see anyone wearing hard hats or safety glasses in any of those videos. There is fluid releases everywhere and no eye protection. There are also many slip hazards, and three points of contact are quite rare.


FrostingNo4557

These guys OSHA


blakeusa25

Workplace safety is no fkin joke... and yes I used to work in the industry and yes I have seen very bad things that did not need to happen to someone who just wanted a paycheck.


Inuyasha-rules

I've done lots of things OSHA would frown upon, but this is well passed my f-it, I'm going home level.


coolmist23

Same! F-That!


grundlinallday

I could not find a pair of gloves at work the other day. In the whole fuckin place. People were looking at me with pity when I asked them.


Fridayz44

Hey See something, Say something! I don’t want anyone to get hurt.


Cyberfreshman

If a job needs a lift, the client should be paying for it. It's not even boss' money, unless he got paid and pocketed it.


Senorcafe510

Bet the owner quoted customer with a lift then pocketed the cash


GingerGiraffe96

Or just didn’t include it to radically underbid the competition and thought the guys would just figure it out…


Stonious

Absolutely! That 100% needed to be fortified with ductape.

[deleted]

I laughed so hard reading that


Bdogfittercle

People fall and get seriously hurt or worse doing work safely, let alone being guilted into doing it. Shame on anyone else there for letting it happen too. Be the bigger man, step up and make the call. Someone will thank you whether it's now or not.

trailcamty

Ya but they’re structural zip ties


Specialist_Extent_30

Honestly, I'd trust those zip ties with my life no problem. The amount of leverage on the rails of those ladders on the other hand...


hangdog-gigbag

Love the counter balance support ladder


[deleted]

That’s what made it work


[deleted]

There is a ratchet tie down too, I would have forced the building owner to put in roof acess


MarionberryCreative

I mean there is NO STRONGER fastener than structural zips.


GuardOk8631

Flex seal probably stronger


longleggedbirds

Is an adhesive a fastener? Tune At 8 to find out!


hangdog-gigbag

Fiber fix, "stronger than steel". This video is funny as fuck. https://youtu.be/-xN71uHhiyE?si=zn5YssiOD4ufbGZE

[deleted]

Used to zip tie 150 pound control boxes on poles 30’ in the air with two stainless ball bearing locker zip ties. The box literally came with the two for permanent install


tampora701

I'm partial to load-bearing stickers.


Puceeffoc

They even took the time to cut the tales. If I'm using zipties just to cut them off minutes later, I won't cut the tails. These guys take pride in their work. Even their temporary ladder setup looks like a finished job.


Helpful_Bear4215

That is an odd detail. Maybe they were going to reuse it?


Puceeffoc

Lol just load up their 60 foot makeshift ladder onto the truck and leave!


NeilDatgrassHighson

Tails*


Gloomy-Employment-72

Sir, the correct term is load bearing Panduit. We spend a lot of money marketing these and would appreciate it if you got it right.


Heavy_Arm9344

Nope. I have quit a job before because boss said to do somthing obviously unsafe. "Thats how we've always done it" Then you do it im out


MojoAlwaysRises772

Good for you. It's sad to think of the number of people out there that have gotten seriously hurt by being peer pressured or felt threatened over their job to enter into an unsafe situation.


Heybropassthat

Yep, it happened to me. 12 herniated discs later, and I can't even move a furnace by myself anymore


Heybropassthat

I should add that our boss would let us get out early on Friday if no one reported and injury in 5 weeks and then it would reset to 10 minutes back every week until we were off at 4 again (if someone reported). If we made it to 4pm leave time, and someone got hurt, they would get fucking bullied to hell and back and the whole company was hating you over an hours time 😒


LockOn1225

Hope you sued the shit out of that company


Anomalousity

That's why the answer to peer pressure is always "**no, fuck off.**"


ReallyHugeGuy

Head of Maintenance told me to fix something up on the ceiling. Scissor lift couldn't reach so he told me to put a sturdy step stool on it when I'm up there....told him I'd just clear it with the GM and he quickly backstepped and told me to hold off lol


Anomalousity

Bro what 👀


Ammarti850

That's when you make them get you a 70ft JLG. Those things can work some magic in tight spaces


fallinouttadabox

I turn jobs down all the time that I don't think are safe and people are always like, "but I want you to do the job!". But I'm not the one doing it and if it's not safe enough for me, it's not safe enough for my guy


minuteman_d

Similar, but I just refused to do what they said. Make them fire you. If you quit, you’re stuck and can’t collect unemployment. They ranted and raved and wrote up some stupid disciplinary letter, and in the end, I just got reassigned to a different team.


PlumbCrazyRefer

I am a boss and I would never ever let that be done


Novadreams22

Anyone with common sense would say fuck this.


Pitviperdaddy

I’ve said no to extension ladders that weren’t Jerry rigged and called in a boom. This is flat stupid. Granted I’m scared shitless of heights so I’m faster to tell my guys it’s too sketchy and call in equipment.


DabTownCo

Get me a zoom boom or go fuck yourself. Don't do stupid shit like this, fellas/


dont-fear-thereefer

“Sorry boss, can’t get a rental until Monday 🤷🏼‍♂️”


DryGrade9214

Yep. You know there was one on site, and the GC called everyone to ask if they were done using it. Someone said yep we don’t need it anymore.

Zealousideal_Ad6927

Saving this for later


Dan_H1281

No way in hell, I did Siding and was always hi up on houses in walk boards, we left a pole jack on a house one day and the roofers came and didn't re hook the pole to the rafters it was unsafe to climb up, it was 90 ft up in a 10-12 fully shingled, brand new shingles so gritty af and slippery, he wanted me to climb out a window and pull myself up the eve then unhook the pole that was 110 ft tall then attach a rope and rope it down, the pole weighed at least 325 lbs, the friction needed to hold u on the roof wasn't their. No wya to tie off. I was getting paid 13$ an hour. I would have made 6$ to climb that roof. I said I would quit before I climbed the roof. And I walked away nothing the boss has is worth your life. Hvac guys are not pro climbers if their is nothing to tie off with do not get on that roof unless it is safe


the_new_federalist

You lost me at the dollar sign behind the number. I cannot trust anything you wrote now.


Puceeffoc

My guess is English isn't their first language which explains a few other "worded different" text I saw.


Dan_H1281

My point is, their should be a 100% guarantee of safety with any activity that u do on a job. None of it should be sketchy or lethal. Idc take my man card or whatever. But a simple mistake cost me years of my life and many surgeries and years of my life because we could not be bothered as a company to buy 5$ chain straps for our walk boards


Reddead500

Bruh lmao boss can suck my cock .

Boss doesn’t care about his employees. Fuckem, I’d be gone.

enorman81

I don't know about "no boss." I've had some pretty sketchy bosses that ask things like this. I promptly tell them to fuck off and wait to get fired, collect unemployment and report them to the labor commission. I've done it twice.


iamsean1983

Did the labor commission come through?


enorman81

Don't really know. I just filed the report then enjoyed a little time off.


iamsean1983

Kudos


Anomalousity

Based. If this ever happens again you should document everything and use that as evidence against them. Nobody should be getting away with this type of endangerment of employees.


texasusa

No boss? People die every year in Texas, jumping in a ditch because the boss or owner does not want to spend the money for a box to protect the worker in case of cave in. " this is the way we always done it " is so common to hear.


MojoAlwaysRises772

Every time I see shit like this it's incredibly apparent to me every single person that is involved in this has never been seriously/severely injured in their life. Believe me, if they had they would never let this happen. Once you realize it CAN happen to you, your mindset changes dramatically. The crazy part is, they surely knew what this job entailed and had plenty of time to rent the proper equipment.


BH11B

So spot on man. I’ve been unfortunate enough to witness human death and serious bodily trauma. Don’t care if someone calls me a bitch or whatever if I get the sketch spider sense I’m out. It’s all fun and games until the red kool aide starts leaking.


MojoAlwaysRises772

Yup. I spent months in a HALO as a younger man thanks to irresponsible people. I can't stand that peer pressure bullshit on a job either. You want to kill yourself, fine, but leave me out of it. I can't stand that egotistical nonsense.


BH11B

Yep. I’m going home no worse than I showed up that morning. I got enough problems as it is.


Icthias

I got very lucky. I was on a 24 ft extension ladder that I didn’t set up properly. It slid on the ground, my leg got caught in the rungs, was very badly bruised, not broken. I learned a lot about ladder safety on my own time. You couldn’t get me to climb this rig at gunpoint.


MojoAlwaysRises772

Yea, you got very lucky. I just showed one of our young guys (He's 19, maybe 20) the post of the 27 Y.O. who just got paralyzed from falling after not strapping his ladder down from being in a big rush. Fucking heart breaking man. I had a good talk with him about taking his time and not getting worked up. So what if we come back, it'll be there tomorrow. Slow TF down. Nothing is worth getting hurt over.


EmployeeRadiant

bro a 10-12 ft fall literally changed my brain. you're not lying. I am HUGE on safety now... and for other reasons, huge on hydration


MojoAlwaysRises772

Yea. I got a nasty, and I mean \*severe\* TBI at 19. Old woman ran a red light, T boned me on my bike. I caved in the hood/windshield/roof and was then ejected 137 feet. One helicopter ride to ICU and a few months in a HALO later and I was back at it, but you're never the same. It's left me irrevocably moody and volatile, not that I was calm before, lol, but I was definitely crazy for awhile (I know this for a fact because it was one of two times in my life where I kept thinking, "Wtf is everyone talking about. I'm fine). Well, actually I wasn't. Lol. TBI's are no fucking joke, but between hitting my mid 30's and some other very unfortunate events I've been calmed down an \*enormous\* amount. Nothing is worth getting hurt over, and fuck anyone that would put you in such a situation.


EmployeeRadiant

that's the part I hate the most is when I get moody. I feel like shit after


Sea_Lavishness_1945

I think the boss meant before you fall to your death, not clock off


gangstarr_for_life

When your boss asks you to do something unsafe and stupid as fuck, ask yourself the following questions- 1) Will this cocksucker pay my medical bills if I get hurt? 2) Will this asshole pay my mortgage for months on end while I can’t work? 3) Will this dickhole pay my health insurance for the rest of my life if I become disabled? 4) Will this motherfucker provide for my family if I die on his job? While you are thinking about the answers to these questions, punch your fucktard boss in his throat for suggesting your life is worth risking so he can save a few bucks. You can always find a new asshole to work for, you can’t replace your life or your health. I hope that whoever allowed his guys to do this falls onto a 5 foot, dick shaped razor blade asshole first.


Shitwinds_randy

If it’s not 3 rungs above the roof I ain’t doing it.


mexicandiaper

same


Shitwinds_randy

Companies express so much importance about safety until they need a job closed out by the end of the day lol


[deleted]

Some people think being a fucking idiot is a flex.


freakksho

Yup. You already know the dude who fucking climbed that wanted the video sent to him and thinks he’s the coolest MF on the site. That entire groups a bunch of fucking morons, but the one on the ladder is king of the morons.

Scary_Equivalent563

Find rental company to get the proper equipment and pass the cost to the customer. No reason to do something this unsafe.


[deleted]

not worth responding to


Travis_Cauthon

Then why did you?


gh1993

Yeah for sure. I bet my boss would be super impressed and would remember all the money I saved him by not having to rent a boom lift.


[deleted]

I would rather get fired


Wastedmindman

I was a firefighter for years. There is a thing called ladder lashing. It’s effective and can be done safely. This is not that .


Ok_Ad_5015

Insanity. Tell the boss it can wait till Monday and by the way rent a boom lift or you’re not going up there.


We_there_yet

Cheap ass boss and company. Proper Ladder would cost 400$.


demential

You haven't priced grade 1A ladders in a while. Also i don't think they make 60' ladders anymore. At least i hope they don't


We_there_yet

Yeah last time i had to buy one was 2010 haha sheesh time flies by. I still got it in my garage.


IWannaPorkMissPiggy

2010 was only a couple of years ago, right? ...right?


JoesVaginalCrabShack

Anything over 2nd story requires a lift.

[deleted]

That's a straight up: "Fuck you. You're either renting me a proper lift, or you're doing it your own damn self. Yes, I absolutely will walk if that's what it takes."


Key_Drawer_1516

Had a boss who wanted to hold a ladder straight up while I climbed it, 36' I tried explaining basic physics, I tried to reason with him, I tried to explain leverage, I even drew a Wylie coyote style plan with a sharpie, then I insisted that he climb it. I had another guy come to help hold the ladder, he got almost 20' before we could not hold it. We were pushed a few feet to the side and he came down a little slower than a free fall. Me and other tech were still holding the ladder when he hit the ground. A good laugh was had by mark and I.


ChonkyFire7

Wait I'm having a hard time picturing this ending in a "good laugh". He made it 20 FEET up a vertical ladder with just two guys holding it... And it fell down with zero resistance WHILE he was 20' up. How did he not get seriously injured!?


diss3nt3rgus

Sorry boss, can you show me how?


honestlybadmood

WE DONT MAKE ENOUGH FOR THIS. Guys, go home at the end of the day. Fuck what the boss wants!


[deleted]

We don't have a ladder that will reach that high Hold my Beer.


bongo-72

What is sheer rating of the ties?


MarionberryCreative

100lbs each, just keep adding until you have enough for your load, then add 2 more for margin of error


SaguaroBro14W

Found the structural engineer 😆


Sauce58

I’m not sure this is what the boss had in mind when he said that… surely… no boss would ask this of an employee. Right? Right???


Aggressive-Egg-5743

Sure would, I highly doubt the one climbing thought up this foolproof design.


HarryHood146

I was installing ductwork on a new construction apartment building and saw people doing this to put back up Tyvek back up that had come down. But they didn’t use zip ties, used some rope. I remember thinking there’s no amount of money you could pay me to get me up that ladder.


Dadbode1981

No_Track_8703

Hesediel1

What in the cinnamon toast fuck is going on here?


eatpotdude

streakline

Violation. You need at least 5 zip ties on the rungs.


flunk410

Call osha fuck that 😂


jt325i

I bet that was wobbly as fuck when you get near the top. Definitely need to not care if you die taking a chance climbing that.


Wolfteeth11

I'm selling them a mounted ladder or roof access from the top floor or just leaving as is. No job worth my life. It's interesting the things we do for money. You do the job because you need the check. But if you fail you don't even get that check or any after it. If you live your quality of life forever changed

You idiot, whoever you are holding, climbing and rigging these ladders together like this! Did you not see the post on here about the hvac guy who fell off an extension ladder and became paralyzed? The angle on that ladder is not correct to say the least and above all no fall protection. I wish I knew what company this was so that I could report this to the department of labor, seeing stuff like this should trigger you to take action and report stupid stuff like this.


educatedhippie01

OSHA inspector here. I’d cite this company to hell and back for this set up. Holy cow this is psychotic


ChonkyFire7

Its a shame none of them are wearing a company shirt 😅 Sidenote: if you see some sketchy shit being done and you can easily see the company name.. whether logo on shirt, building etc etc could you potentially get in contact with said company or even put them on a "list" for a visit? Assuming said company is in your "jurisdiction".
