“A sheet metal worker was climbing a wet, steep roof. He was not equipped with a safety belt secured to a lifeline. He subsequently lost his footing and fell 36 feet to the ground, suffering fatal injuries. “

Sheet Metal Worker Falling

Some of the health and safety ‘posters’ over here are truly astonishing.

What particularly strikes me regarding this one is the bold arrow showing the path of his plummet.

Where else was he expected to go?

But, as the poster claims, the guy in question was 47 and had 6 months job experience.

I’ll say one thing – you Americans don’t half churn your sheet metal workers out sharpish if that’s the case.
