Hahahahaha.

What is it? Look like a big square handle thingy clamped on a single ended hose...

geez,for the love of life.Don't you know a steering wheel when you see it? (from the floor laughing)

This company prides its self on safety. The company moto is "A Safe Company to Work For". I am sure they are a good company but they sure miss the boat on this one.

Pukka- right alongside their safety policy to download!!!!

Looks like one of them benches you get round a tree, perhaps its for the hoseman when theres no concrete   lol

Hose man needs to wear the a bomb suit.

yes i have seen it, and the reason for it was a hose man lost his balance and fell and there was nothing to grab on to, happened in phx. too i am from the houston area.  yes it is different thing

 I was gonna guess that it was a "OH my Dog" handle for the nozzle man. (Money swing?) 

Do they only use it for that one hose man that fell? Most other places it would get laughed right off the job!

 That yellow boom wouldn't be attached to a trailor mount would it?

I cant touch that hose it is icky.....lol

LOL go on there web site and look at the pictures there is one of a guy standing under a big piece of steel as it is being lifted by a mobile crane and the other is placing concrete with a double ender....lol yes they operate safely.......not.....

Did anyone think to inform this Co. about there unsafe practice.

take a look at the main hook of the crane,the ring of the chain is to smal

Hey Todd,this is a 9.8 on my whatthe f-o-meter.I just showed this to my 12 year old grandson Timothy and asked him what's wrong safety wise.Not only did he point out the 2 hosemen but the steel.

Being the austute soul he is he asked a line pump or a real pump.Yes,I admit we have used a double on the line pumps.Shame on me.

looks like a four hoseman launch handle.free trip to the ride of there life and possibly there last.VERY SAFE;omgoshwtf....

I had to look twice to see the second hose man.  Quite the contraption.  Its amazing how so many companies say "SAFETY FIRST" and then fail to employ any authority to enforce those words.  The operator probably said "oh hell no".

as a Boom Inspector ,this would be a huge "red tag" on this machine if I inspected it or even seen it on a job site I would feel very strongly about letting the owner know just how dangerous this practice is ,plus why is there 2 hose men ? Maybe cause there is enough handle for both of them to "rest" on ?

BAAHHHH ........ They must be into some kind of kinky stuff!! You know the stuff were u like to have the shit kicked out of you!

THATS NOT SAFE THE HOSE MAN WOULD BE KILLED IF tHE HOSE PlUGGED

It is sad to say. But stuff like this goes on every day world wide in the industry.
