The worker is standing on a suspended load (a tire being lifted by a hoist), which is extremely dangerous. This behavior violates standard hoisting safety protocols. If the load shifts, swings, or fails, it could result in serious injury or death. Additionally, this action puts the worker at risk of a fall from height with no visible fall protection in place.
Workers must never ride or stand on a suspended load. Always use approved fall protection when working at height, and ensure proper rigging techniques are followed. Loads should only be lifted when the area is clear of personnel. Supervisors must enforce hoist safety procedures, and unsafe behavior should be immediately corrected and reported.
