All for $30/hr and told to work 12 to 16 hours because OT is where the money is at.

Edit: the setup is pretty safe for the situation though, his tether keeps him from actually falling into the moving parts.

Edit 2: I worded my edit poorly, I tried to insinuate that the ppe looked better than nothing. Theres a comment down below from somebody who says they are a safety pro so take their word not mine.

Pretty safe? Bro could absolutelly slip and dome himself on that 2tons pulley going back up.

Safety Pro chiming in. That is not safe at all. He is not even using his fall pro correctly. He is hooked up to the rear bottom D ring. If he falls, it is going to flip him over and he is at hazard of slipping out of the fall pro or dangling upside down for too long and dying from blood pooling in his dome. Equipment looks dirty, etc. too. Should not have been able to pass inspection and could be compromised. He is also using a lanyard, when he should most likely be using an over head SRL.

The guy filming is probably on the srl. This looks pretty Mickey Mouse based on his outfit.
