Ah...  they must not have been displaying those ‘Safety First’ signs.... 

 

But seriously though, is common sense and basic safety awareness so absent here, or is the same elsewhere but accountability forces employers into active responsibility and enforcement ?...  is that the difference, when workers cut corners the owners are not responsible so its not in their interest to enforce safety regulations.

 

These guys ‘should’ have been tied off of course...

Very lucky man to still be alive falling from that height and hitting his head, thousands of people fall less than 1 m during fights each year and die because they hit their head on the floor

No harness and lanyard = complete muppet. 

 

Lucky to be alive.

Crawling boards are an optional extra, along with the harness.

Ah gravity, that often misunderstood and ignored concept.  Never underestimate the painful consequences of g = GM/r²
