Guess who is not doing the safety dance

Yesterday I talked about construction safety and the stupid things that construction workers do that can get them hurt. Real life case in point, yesterday one of our superintendents had to go to the hospital because he hurt his arm. It seems he was driving while holding something (I believe it might have been a ladder) down on the roof of his car.
You see Saturday he got into a car accident and totaled his truck so he was using his wife's car which didn't have room for the ladder so he just held it down by sticking his arm out the car window and holding onto it. This is the same guy that has broken his work phone at least 4 times since I have been working here.

And now for your viewing pleasure midgets and medieval fun...the safety dance! (Yes I know I have posted this before but it is too great to pass up)

Safety in the Construction Industry

Part of my job is being in charge of safety. Today I am putting together safety presentations for the workers and I came across a few photos of "unsafe" construction practices. Now I know that construction workers don't always have the best reputation of being incredibly intelligent and it is pictures like these that perpetuate that perception.
They may not be the brightest but they won't let common sense get in the way of getting the job done!
