An unsafe practice caught in the act.

An unsafe practice caught in the act., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photograph recently, at the intersection of Forest Preserve Drive and North Harlem Avenue in Norridge Illinois recently.

What looks like a busines as usual scene of routine exterior or sign maintenance along the south wall of the local Harlem Irving Plaza Shopping Center Mall, reveals a different situation.

The operator of boom equipped truck, apparently forgot to lower the stabilizing outriggers, and is now risking a top heavy tip over accident, endangering Himself or people below on the sidewalk.

Safety first, always use caution at work sites.
