Im concerned about the fact that he's that far up in the building and he removes his only security against falling to place it onto the next beam. if that were norway you'd have to have two. so when you move one you are still secured. and after you've moved the first one then you move the second one.

These guys in the video are connectors and they only put in one bolt to keep it safe, usually connecting beams you make two bolts but these joists aren’t heavy. Then there’s a gang called bolt up that follows after the connectors and and placed the right size bolts and tightens them to whatever it calls for, some times hand tight sometimes you snap them it all depends
