Some old work pics I came across.

Who wants to guess how much this building weighs in comparison to the machines pushing on it, and the twats should have been working from the other end of the building, not the weakest end.

Enough to give a safety officer have a dozen heart attacks, Isn't done quite like this anymore.

Judging by their stubby shorts, this was a while ago, huh?

Maybe back in the day when people were able to be responsible for themselves? - unlike now when we need a government department to tell us how to be safe...FFS...

Alright,what sizes should the pics be?

1000x670 is tiny by modern standards,well within the viewable resolution of 99.9999 percent of monitors in homes and the file size was tiny, average of 62kb, about 8 seconds on a 56K connection.

None of the people in the pictures should have been put at risk, never mind for the few dollars an hour they earned. If modern thinking has forced companies to have better work practices then its a good thing.

It takes little effort to supply a harness and safety line, and a little effort to ensure its used.

Anyway, Some resized pics, for all the people viewing the forum on a wristwatch and a piece of string.

Photo has 93 on it. HSE act was 92. No excuse, unless it was an expensive attempt to rob the BNZ. Now they just back a ute through the front door. How times have changed.
Still got a way to go to match Nevada for killing off construction workers.

First 3 photos with the 93 on them were shot the Shortland freezing works in Auckland, The photos of the BNZ are about 83.
