Health & safety, really they have that here. Okay so when do they ever leave there offices. Honestly with all the construction projects going on have you ever heard of anyone being charged with an infraction/violation? Next time any of you pass a construction site take note ot the apparel the workman have on and you may well see it’s not fit for a construction site. Honestly Health & Safety here is a joke.

You get a life. How many incidents need to happen for someone to evaluate if proper safety procedure is occurring. “Get a life”…that’s what we are trying to insure fool! That we haven’t lost unnecessary lives in the process. Or ‘lives’ don’t matter?

No such thing as an accident. That INCIDENT was preventable.

It’s mandatory for everyone in an industrial environment. It’s in our OSH act and regs.

Hard hats——————HA. When was the last time you saw a group of workers on a house where hard hats??? Better yet, how about looking for one of the most critical pieces of safety gear that should always be worn on a job site (but in de islands it is the rarest form of safety equipment)—-work boots! Health and safety should visit ALL small job sites and enforce safety rules-the problem is that everybody wants to look at the big sites (which are pretty good with health and safety) instead visit the small guys who have a full staff of sneaker wearing workmen on a construction site—

I recently visited some construction sites while overseas. In one country, before a worker can enter the site, they must have on their required safety equipment for the line of work they will do in order to enter the site. A list in very large print on a huge sign was at the entrance point. I found it interesting to see different types of gloves being worn by the workers to protect from chemicals, injury from burns, etc. In another country the entire construction sites are boarded off with an additional perimeter and huge signs cautioning pedestrians to not walk near area.

We wish the injured man a speedy recovery.

@Kepping it Real. No not the same work site. The other one was an unfortunate accident.

It is difficult at best for anyone to fall from a scaffolding if the proper safety rails, walkways have been installed. I wasn’t there and I don’t know how he fell, but I do know most contractors use a single wooden plank as a walkway and that is dangerous. Health and safety need to inspect all scaffolding whenever they have been erected, no exceptions. That’s my observation.

Hopefully this individual will be safe and recover from his head injuries without further complication. I visited the site and was somewhat taken-aback in seeing there workmen without protective headgear:-( If not mistaken, isn’t it mandatory for “workmen” to wear protective head gear?
