Scaffolding - Working at Height

One of the key areas that is safety officers focus on is Safety at Height. Safety harasess and scaffolding construction will alway be scutinise for proper rigging and construction. Some scaffolding work but mostly at the expense of safety and expose workers is unnecessary risks of injury and in most cases death

Safety Shoes

Got this picture off the internet.

This is the condition of some of the safety shoes that I saw on site. These are found mainly on subcontractors who are on contract basis with the companies. The full time staff normally get nice and new shoes. The contract staff who are working continuously on site will find that their shoes get quite a bit more wear and tear. To save cost and the trouble of requesting for new shoes, they do "on site" repair and this is the result.

Spot the Hazard

I was asked to attend a training class on "Risk Assessment" which was great. Besides a chance to learn new things, I get some time off from work, nice food and meet new friends.

One of the agenda item on the training program was "Spot the Hazard"

See if you can spot some of the obvious hazards!

Worse of ALL..... The layout can look painfully familiar to what you see everyday!!!!!
