Is this safe?

[Fox Red]

This is from another forum. Not sure if I would be happy with this.

Must be a rough area!

 

[Clive]

No !

 

[Dave Applesquasher]

A friend of mine killed himself leaving a widow and two young children by doing something similarly stupid.

 

[multi power]

needs some better timber under it, but whats there now is safer than concreate blocks

 

[ianw]

Probably left like that by a bloke with 3 fingers on each hand who's normally preaching health and safety is just common sense

 

[benferg]

that's crap. If the wood was a lot bigger & more even it would be a start.

I wouldn't want to go under it or expect someone else to.

That looks very unsafe which no doubt it is.funny as you get older you see more things you would not worry about 20 years ago

Seems safe just look at the rest of the workshop reasonably clean and tidy hope they use more support when working on it

 

[tealdog038]

[rc mx110]

probably a regular thing there as there's another block next to the heap of wrapping on the left

 

[fatman]

do not shut the door or it will fall

Really!!!!

I got our local fencing supply man to cut me up a couple of 8" square gateposts on his bandsaw. I have about 8 blocks of varying sizes from 8" up to 18" long and, importantly, all of them have nice square ends so they are flat and level as the concrete floor underneath them. A pair of 16t axle stands from Spaldings was a very handy few quid spent too.

There is nothing wrong with wooden blocks per se, but they should be cut square and laid flat. If one of those was to split then it would be game over.

Also he should have chocked his back wheels.

It's safe right up until it falls on someone.

It's safe right up until it falls on someone.

of course its safe! I'd crawl under there just like I'd take a PTO shaft off running at 1000rpm

 

[Zetor]

Axle stands are peanuts! I know i have just bought a pair money well spent!!!

Not even the rear wheels are chocked to stop it rolling!!!!!!
