What would you tell a worker using a ladder in this way?

Does this graphic ACTUALLY depict a man washing his hands in a urinal? What is going on?

When people don't have the right equipment or are too lazy to go get it, they tend to improvise in ways that are anything but wise. Here's a photo of a man holding a worker upside down outside an elevated window. The strain is plainly evident on his face.
This photo was snapped in Australia, so it was probably a nice day to be working outside, but this guy is more than a little light on fall protection equipment and other safety gear. One slip and he could face some heavy personal consequences.
Tragedies from the past carry important safety lessons, but unfortunately, those lessons aren't always heeded. Locked emergency exit doors continue to be a problem in the modern workplace, 102 years after 146 workers locked inside a New York clothing manufacturing plant perished in a fire.
