IF he didn't fall or get hurt, then yes it is safe. IF not then no it wasn't safe.

I would have pulled my van into that doorway and used a piece of plywood on my roof rack.

I guess I am spoiled. If I pulled something like that, I would get run so fast my head would spin. All of the plants I work at and most of the GC's make us wear harnesses and tie off if we are over 6' off the ground.

All of the plants you work at have multimillion dollar budgets, and are scrutinized almost hourly by OSHA. You have no reason not to have proper safety equipment.

Looks like something I have done a lot. Get it done any way you can. Improvise my friend. Fall, shake it off and get back to work.

A forklift may be used as a man lift with a proper platform being used...

Anything else will have the OSHA Inspector writing on their pad...

I had do this so many time and I am still alive. You should post a sign at work site " DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME WE ARE PROFESSIONALS"

No, that first pic was not safe.

Nope. The supply house owner should buy that guy what he needs to do the job safely.

i've always like what our OSHA instructor told us, if you have to ask then you already know the answer. Then again i'm also the idiot that used to flash in roof vents tied off with a 100' extension cord over the roof to the van rack.
