violated in this video.

The guy in the "man cage" wasn't killed, which was certainly lucky for
him. I wasn't aware that a "man cage" type device was even permitted
under OSHA rules.....in fact, I doubt that it is.

What OSHA rules? That is Plymouth England!

Did OSAH rules on these things change [relatively] lately?

The (USA) grocery store chain I work for sent forklift man-platforms out
to all the stores a few years ago. They got used only very occasinally.
Usually the stock clerks would just get the whole pallet down, since
they'd need a bunch of whatever was on it anyway.

Then after about a year, corporate HQ sent an email around not to use
them anymore. So now every store has a bright-orange,
nearly-new-condition forklift platform sitting in the storage room. And
has for the past, oh, five years or so.
