Nice one John! In the UK our government and press are trying to do away with Safety laws and go back to the good old days of death and injury. This is reverse common sense is being mainly upheld by our greedy ‘lawyers’ who want us to have the US style blame then claim culture. More Safety Officers are needed and fewer ‘lawyers’ may be someone will see sense one day!

Those pictures are great. I’m sure a few are photoshopped, but the reality is that people really do find ways to do the stupidest things! People trying to tie ladders together is exactly why organizations like OSHA were created. I’m pretty sure that OSHA stood for Outrageously Stupid Human Acts in the beginning.

The forklift with the bomb did not go off the dock. It picked up the load off the rack on the side but the load is off center so the back end came off and the truck headed backward (notice the scrapes on the ground).

That dude on the bike with the styrofoam looking stuff… I see that ALL the time here in South Korea. I’ve only lived here a few months and I am still kicking myself everytime I go out without my camera. The most shocking thing I’ve seen in a guy on a scooter with stuff strapped to the back (much like styropfoam rider) passing our bus, and on the back a little child clung to it like a suction cup toy in the back window of a minivan.

These kinds of things are so common in China, where I currently am. I am not even sure they have a government body that actually enforces workplace safety. They just do what they have to in order to get the job done. Like, a few times, my wife and I changed apartments, and each time we brought our room air con unit to our new place. Well, each time the worker would go OUT onto the ledge to disconnect the AC lines and so on, and each time I was the one holding the rope that was attached to this worker.

Thank goodness I am a big guy, at least. ;)

Note the guy on the ladder in the pool. No shoes, metal ladder, in pool soaking wet but he still has the keen sense to wear his eye protection. Its a start at least.
