I totally agree that is 1 of the dumbest things you can do in this job but I will also admit that as a young lad back in the day I never though twice about doing it. Now as a grumpy 40 something site supervisor I lose my sh-t if I see anyone within a metre of a running shaft. I really don’t want to see or deal with the aftermath of that, if anyone is in any doubt look up Russian lathe accident on You Tube to see what can happen in seconds.

Found him on Facebook I think this is the person
Crick lodge farm phone number is on there aswell

Clive you could give him a phone call on behalf of all who are on the forum who are concerned about what he was doing

not my place to police stupidity

HSE should have a chat though imo before he or someone he works with becomes another statistic
 
He was stood on a tanker pto guard with it running messing about with the back window of the tractor guard was just about fecked to top it all off
I don’t know if he was an employee or the owner/farmers son but had that gone horribly wrong who would have been in the firing line with the hse, I very much doubt they’d take the attitude that most of us on here have, that he was a complete idiot to have done such a thing and that anyone with half a brain cell would have known better. I suspect if the worse had happened, the blame would be pinned on someone else even though they had no idea of what he was up to.

Probably the best bit of health and safety advice I was given was “you can’t afford to employ idiots “
It might not be up to hse’s expectations on safety advice but I nonetheless consider it excellent advice.

Tanker owner would get the blame the guard is already broken on one end

Yes, I’m sure you’re right, although the tanker owner might not be aware of the damaged guard, that damage could have been done on the load before that video was filmed for all we know.
I’m glad it’s just a video of stupidity that we’re commenting on, that lad risked his own life doing that
