Just wondering what everyone thinks about this cut and reconnect. Safe? How many OSHA violations?

I'M I it's plenty safe. Using many power tools is more dangerous than this. I would guess most people who do this are owners or members and not subject to OSHA.

Where was lineman gloves?
That's what I thought. He looks and wants to make sure he's touching nothing and he's on an aluminum ladder? Wonder how many times he's got lucky?

Actually my ladders are aluminum, I get made fun of alot 
. They are just so much lighter and easier to handle. But yeah if you are doing a video on cutting live service drops,you probably at least use a fiber for the video

I use aluminum ladders almost exclusively. My short step ladders are fiberglass but everything that extends is metal because they are much lighter.
At least I know I'm grounded when I get up on a ladder LOL

It sounded aluminum as he was going up, usually fiberglass ladders don’t clank that loud when climbing.

I thought it was a metal ladder at first, but they have H-channel sections, while fiberglass ladders have C-channel sections.
