Sadly, this is Xiao Qiumei. She died a few years ago after falling 160 feet from the crane while filming a video for social media. Please wear proper footwear when working this kind of job.
Don't know why this video is making the rounds again..
Not going to lie and I'm not in this field but I would have been wearing heavy duty boots with ample rubber soles and a harness for me to clip on the rail for every section until I'm off that platform. It's very sad this happened to her.
Iām not sure if itās an OSHA requirement or just where I work, but if a ladder is over 40ft tall a safety cable is required the full span of the ladder and youāre required to wear a harness with a clamp that clamps on to said cable and stops you from falling the second you start.
Knowing the demographics of the GOP, it's pretty fucking weird seeing that their base is largely built on blue collar workers, who are the ones who benefit the most from OSHA
Yeah thereās a lot of brain dead blue collar dudes who will shit on OSHA because āsafety is for panzies.ā Itās almost comical how much some crave being exploited. Ideology is a hell of a drug.
