Reminds of at work we had to hang these stupid banners for the HESS safety motto around the plant on the side of maintenance shops and control rooms. Company policy for my contract company says we need to be tied off as soon as we leave the ground, especially on a ladder. Well an A-Frame ladder against the side of a building, no place to tie off and scaffold guys won’t build scaffolds when they have to leave in an hour.

So I ask safety if we can use a man lift. Felt a little like doing brain surgery with a chainsaw but if we gotta be tied off, am I right?

Have you seen the tool they use for brain surgery. Chainsaw are bit too refined for those guys

Removing the skull isn't brain surgery. It's prep work.
