Here in the USA we have lots of workplace rules that regulate what we can and cannot do in the name of safety. These rules range from operator training on equipment to how to properly harness yourself to prevent from falling off a building. The reality is that lots of the rules have come from people getting hurt on the job and that’s never a good thing because we always start our workday with the expressed goal of finishing it in the same physical condition that we started. Which is to say, in one piece. We’re not sure if this video was shot in Japan or China as our translation of the writing consisted of asking various people, “Hey…is this Chinese or Japanese?” Zero people had any real clue either so we’ll leave it up to you.

Writing aside, this is some awesome stuff. It is also something that would cause an OSHA representative to flop down onto the floor with foam coming out of their mouths. Any business caught in the act of doing this here in the USA would be shut down immediately despite the fact that these guys had obviously done it about a million times and had the act down just about perfectly. We know that there are 900 different things that could go wrong here, but they don’t. Now we sure as hell would not sign up to be the guy in the forklift being hoisted up, but the ground operator job? We’d be on that one in a hurry. This may be rude, crude, and dangerous but is sure as heck is effective!
