Via bluesky I gather the whiny righties are losing their shit on X right now!

As a mommy-state liberal engineer, I can't condone those working conditions. No PPEs, uncovered skin, no safety fences at high drops. Those stones are surelyheavier than 90/269/EEC allows for manual handling

They seem to have plenty of budget for safety watchers, but that is not is a replacement for proper equipment and procedures!

Also suggests unfair hiring practices - safety watcher is not the best paid job on a construction site, and guess which job is reserved for women?

Look at this guy, his back is not going to survive this for long.

Make a healthy setup, where he can sit or stand normally, and she is on an platform at the right elevation. With a safety fence of course

@Zamfr @cstross re the uncovered skin, it does appear the sunscreen supply must be ample.

@Zamfr @cstross look at that guy lifting with his back! Clearly hasn't had safety training. Where are the shop stewards?! Are these people even unionized?

@Zamfr @cstross Hopefully they're at least getting a good uniform allowance

@Zamfr @cstross Don't like the look of their lifting gear either.
