Most Common Construction Accident Injuries:

1. Slip and falls, usually caused by an unsafe work area.
2. Falling on stairwells with no guardrail.
3. Stepladders, usually when not used correctly or used for improper activities.
4. Fall from roofs, when no fall protection is provided.
5. Falls from scaffolding, esp. without proper scaffolding according to state regulations.

[TexasRaceLady]

Now this one is REALLY insane ==

 

[Mr. Gregory]

Wow, are all these pictures real?

 

[Johali]

Now this one is REALLY insane ==

That must be on private property. I cant see a power company or City/County/State employee being allowed to do that instead of using a bucket. Never-mind. I just noticed the signs. It may be another country.

 

[Betsy]

Sign says PEMEX......... That is Mexico.

Google is your friend.

If it was up to you weenies, the pyramids never would have gotten built.

A friend posted this on facebook yesterday:

"Safety first......"

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Hope these guys are really GOOD friends.

Hope these guys are really GOOD friends.

He is using a safety harness so it must be ok.

 

[97forever]

What is it with men and their ladders?

We, uh, just like to see if we can get them up anywhere.

 

[Magnethead]

He is using a safety harness so it must be ok.

I saw that too. Funny part is that the harness appears to be tethered to the ladder. Meanwhile physics say there must be a second guy at the base of that ladder AND that railing must be epicly strong.

 

[nascarwoman]

Don't hire these guys.....they're not the sharpest tools in the shed.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

 

[Bobw]

Guy holding the ladder isn't wearing steel toed sandals!

 

[Betsy]

Dummies are world wide!

 

[Zerkfitting]

It's just another way of thinning the herd.

 

[Racer1930]

And the stupidity continues -----

Plus, it has help!

If the phone rings, that guy is screwed.

 

[Greg]

We had to get rid of a new hire last week. No steel toe shoes for him, and he said he would quit before he wore them.
He meant it.

I do that frequently. Then the door opens and I get out.

This will be in interesting story at the emergency room

 

[Benevolent One]

That guy under the truck will leave some people trying to say something nice at his funeral while trying to ignore the elephant in the room.

 

[Professur]

And oddly enough, he'll resemble something an elephant trod on.
