Forklift, pallet and then some….
Spotted by a reader in Ireland, a fork lift with a pallet and a ladder being used to reach an outside light of a hotel.
In the words of our correspondent: “Bright spark - one forklift, one pallet, one step ladder and one bright spark of an electrician… Taken in Ireland at a hotel - car park street lights being repaired. As seen in the picture, health and safety played a big role in this job!! Not only is it WRONG, but as you can see he is at his limits and now reaching out himself..."

How crazy can you be?
This is so so crazy… its outside, with a forklift fully elevated a pallet and then our man is standing on the very top of the step ladder and then forgetting that he is balanced precariously on something that is more likely to topple than stay in place – he stretches and reaches out. The chances that this team took – one assumes with the approval of the hotel management – is ridiculous the chances of this one going wrong were substantially higher than it all working out. One has to hope that he did make it down safely.
Most definitely one for our Death Wish series.

Its very dangerous and most risky job.. All the forklift safety measures must be followed while doing such type of work.. There may be risk of falling down or foot slip..
