Three - one to stand on top of ladder, one to stand on bottom of ladder and one to carry empty light bulb container.
All of them
I am not a city worker or anything near this type of work and don't see anything wrong with this other than misleading. Can't be the slum city because there is a fence at the waters edge.
No more than county but less than state and federal or union employees
The guy on the ladder is a safety precaution, his weight is steadying the ladder. You can tell it isn't on the Shore, there would be 7 people involved.
People that never have worked outside don't know
My father fell from a 30ft ladder changing a lightbulb by himself, and lived rest of his life with permanent injury.
I'd rather see someone holding the ladder!
FIGURES !!! More Govt Waist !!!
As many as it takes to do it correctly - ONE TIME!!!!
Then fire the HR representative for hiring the least qualified!
All 3 guys that are assigned to this truck.. the whole crew. They all go to the site of the repair, so they all might as well work on it.
Do you know how many elected officials it takes to change a light bulb? Just one. They hold the bulb and the world revolves around them!
You can thank OSHA for that.
8:55 "waste" not waist. Clearly you didn't waste your time on education.
"There's your sign" who tries to do any kind of work 30 feet in the air in a ladder?? Try scaffolding next time
Anytime I see roadworks being done there are at least 4 guys standing around
How about you keep your idiotic and uneducated comments to yourself. I was a telephone lineman for 28 years and until bucket trucks became more prevalent, everything we did was on a 32ft ladder.
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, post on a blog from their parents basement.
Should be more on the way.
You are correct 12:28. There HAS to be AT LEAST four supervisors on the way who will argue about the best way to complete the task efficiently.
"who tries to do any kind of work 30 feet in the air in a ladder?? Try scaffolding next time"
Scaffolding sometimes can't be used in an area so a ladder is needed. Ladders can be thrown on top of vehicles and carried/setup quickly at a location where as scaffolding can't. A couple bucks (sections of scaffold) and planks run about $250 , so to reach to 30ft height the ladder Reach's will cost about $1500 (scaffold heights are usually 4ft to 6 ft tall). Ladders are commonly available to 40ft lengths, and even come in 60ft lengths special ordered (3 sections instead of 2). Soooo when used properly its obvious ladders are the better option the majority of the time.
They should have called the fire department to help! They could finally get to use the bucket on one of the fire trucks!
2:01 omitted a critical component. Since the work is being done near water the fahr boat should absolutely be deployed.
If it involves a ladder, OSHA and MOSHA require at least two people, and the ladder tender (the guy on the bottom) can't leave the ladder while the other guy is on it. It's good to have a gofer when you're both tied up - that's guy #3.
@12;09 i dlubt that very serious!! I was s field wiremsn on USMC and we never used a ladder, tree gaffs and leather safety belt. Guess I know a little more about line work and FYI don't live in parents basement
The guy on top of the ladder is the bulb gripper. The guy on the bottom of the ladder is the exchange specialist 1st class. The guy on the ground is the union rep
12:09 Kudos. Those of us who actually work for a living understand how many people and how much equipment it takes to do a job safely. I like to come home in one piece.
Right. Makes sense accident s happen frequently. Then people would complain as to why there was not others there as a precaution.
