Since I'm about to go offline for a bit.
I work in the building industry.
The last year at college we had a competition.
Basically, who'd worked on the worst site that year...
I came in third.
(Here in the UK, Building is the most dangerous industry, with the highest level of injuries/deaths. Farming comes second.)
I told the tale of my first solo visit to a building site.
The site manager tried to refuse to give me a hard hat, on the grounds that it'd ruin my hairdo.
After 20mins arguing, he backed down, and lent me a hat.
Shortly after, I was hit in the head by a flying lemonade bottle, by a chap who didn't realise there were people working on the ground. He threw the bottle off the roof, 4 stories up. Good job it was a plastic bottle, not a half brick.
Followed by the pet rescue centre I surveyed, where the dogs howled so heartbreakingly it had to be listed as a dangerous feature of the site.
Mr Joint Second was the lad who'd ben asked to survey a slaughter house, in operation.
Mr other second was the lad who build a wall on a site after the water had been switched off, so he'd had to use the chemicals from the loos to mix the cement.
The winner was the poor sod who surveyed a whore house. That wasn't actually the problem. The issue was the madam in charge refued to shut down business during the major renovation works. Try to do a risk assessmnet for that..
