Re: Pre Osha
I must not be seeing what you guys see. The car's front tires are supported on purpose-built stands with wide bases. I see no problem.

Re: Pre Osha
The fender cover on the car behind looks like it works better than any of the ones that the vendors sell today.

Re: Pre Osha
You are in big trouble if you think Osha is a town in Wisconsin

Re: Pre Osha
I am sure that this ladder setup was OSHA approved. Geeeez.

Re: Pre Osha
Doesn't look like the rear wheels are chocked to me. I wouldn't work underneath a car with a setup like that, but its probably not the most dangerous setup I've seen either

Re: Pre Osha
If that were a model A and you didn’t drain the oil first, you would have a mess. Unless of course is was a grain truck.

Re: Pre Osha
Yeah, at least it appears to be some sort of an engineered system. Would not pass the test today, but back then that was good stuff.

Re: Pre Osha
The zeppelin ladders are on wheels. What could possibly go wrong?

Re: Pre Osha
That Zeppelin photo looks scary. The three men on the ladders must be very brave...or hard up for cash. Although the men down below don't have it so good if someone drops a wrench, or decides to relieve himself. It reminds me of the photo of the men eating lunch sitting on an open "I" beam in NYC during the skyscraper age of the 30's. Hundreds of feet above the street, and the other buildings. No hard-hats, lanyards with harnesses, safety glasses, etc. OSHA-SMOSHA.

Re: Pre Osha
There was no OSHA present back when I was installing paging antennae on the rooftops of Boston's prudential tower and Hancock tower on the out edges of those roofs. No harness. Often thought about how nice a parachute would be. I still have some outrageous photos of me up there.

Re: Pre Osha
My dad started roofing,building,and remodeling in 1956,and did his last roof in 2020.Although,I have done every roof with him since the mid 90's.Neither one of us ever owned a harness.One time an OSHA guy stopped to talk to us,and once he found we were just a father and son fixing a roof,and didn't work for a roofing company,he said he had no say over us.

Re: Pre Osha
Well, how about this. Just be glad you did not work for Studebaker. No rear wheel chock, and a wooden lift. Just crazy.
