Working at Height



Being in the Oil and Gas industry, I have been accustomed to particularly high standards when it comes to safety. Ironically, most of the works that I have been involved in were taking place in third world countries where the safety standards are non existent. I kind of got used to these paradoxes but it is always a surprise to continue to witness a lack of common sense in certain situations. Today, while visiting a Port in the Riau Islands I came across this building site. I do not think you need any HSE expertise to observe at least 10 points of safety that could be addressed.
