How do they maneuver? Pull on the beams? I would worry that would cause them to tip. I would hope that have crews with ropes attached to the " mattress " corners.

That’s a sailing vessel so it would have sheets. 
I wonder who would be concerned - OSHA, the Coast Guard or ???
...Or the boss: "Uh, we might have a problem with the scissor lift - it got a little wet. But I can explain".

Well, to be fair, the wait staff did not seat anyone above where the work is being done. Safety first!

^ That's all just ornamental work being done, not structural. Guaranteed there are steel beams inside that stucco/concrete wrapping. Only thing wrong w/ that picture is the noise from below while folks above are dining.

I'm sure you're right but I'm still not sitting out there till they're done. (I have a very strong sense of self preservation.)

I realize that looks ridiculous, but the lift appears to be sitting on a small modular barge that is intended to support a piece of construction equipment. And it is probably safe . . . enough.
But I would still like to see how they got the lift onto the barge!

You can see the plywood on the float the scissor lift is sitting on, plus another sheet that is sitting on the pool deck. I'm sure they just drove it on there w/ the plywood overlapping the float and pool deck. Either way, I don't like it. Those lifts are extremely heavy as they have to support 4-500+ lbs in the bucket while it's fully extended. I've done plent of work on indoor sky lifts and big outdoor bucket lifts. They sway quite a bit. I don't mind working w/ one...but would never ever get on THAT one!!

Where was that? Look at those magnificent old houses! I wonder if they're still standing.
In Newark? My guess not, although I'm sure given the population of Jerseyites here, someone could tell you.

I used to have warehouse in old factory building. They had big elevetors for transporting products up-/downstairs. One day two construction men drove a lift like that into elevator - they only got it about halfway in before the elevator slided down enough so the lift got stuck on the floor.
I went to look at the information plate - it was clear that the lift was about 2,5 times the elevators rated capacity.
I did not stay there to see how they got it back out - but next day it was gone . . .
