Fantastic pics .. pity about OSH
Here for the arcade.
The empire state looked like a fun jungle gym

Ha - I have just had a lot of involvement with OSH/work-at-heights stuff - I shall cirulate that around the team.
Yeah times have sure changed.
Experience......something you get just after you needed it

Google tells me the following . . .
Empire State - During planning stages the construction death toll was estimated to be one worker per floor, or over 100 workers overall. However, only a handful of workers lost their lives during construction.
Golden Gate Bridge - Eleven men killed. Until February 17, 1937, there had been only one fatality, setting a new all-time record in a field where one man killed for every million dollars spent had been the norm. On February 17, ten more men lost their lives when a section of scaffold carrying twelve men fell through the safety net.
Amazing what was considered acceptable back then. My husband is a boilermaker and he reckons workplaces have become a hell of a lot more unsafe since all the osh bizzo has come in.
Over legislation leads to lack of thought and responsibility, in his opinion.
Especially when "rules" to keep workers safe are made by non- tradespeople or whatever the profession is.

Wherever I may roam
Geez those are some impressive pictures.
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
The instructions are simple...
I wonder where else that applies??Originally Posted by janno
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Come warm yourself by the fire
Venn Diagram
Working safe and working with OSH the circles do overlap.....but one does not superimpose the other.
The paperwork is a bitch

Playin' around
The Chrysler Building, which had held the record prior to the ESB for being the Worlds tallest building (only briefly - however it is still the World's tallest brick building), was built at a rate of four floors per week, without any worker deaths.

Nor a pair of stubbies!! I thought these guys were construction workers.
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Back then... it was common to wear a collar and tie when working with tools.

Just another example of how times have changed, shit the amount of people that wear a collar and tie in an office is on the rapid decline.

I like the riveting pic. Looks like the guy on the right is balancing by placing his left leg on board that his mate on the left is standing on.
Guy on left "Hold on a minute would you while I just grab another rivit"
Guy on right "Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
thud
Now that would build trust between work mates rather than this namby pamby falling backwards of tables shit!
LOL
