saftey frist!
Nov. 16th, 2009 01:49 pmThe building management people on my work site have a display board where they put up photos that they find on the web of really, really unsafe practices. Stuff like this. (A lot of their photos are from that site.)
It started out as a place where they posted fairly detailed images of things that obviously someone thought might be, if not best practice, an adequate temporary stopgap> They'd post photos, some comments on what the originator was probably up to, and some cogent observations why it was simply a terrifically bad idea (and it wasn't always immediately obvious).
Over time, though, it's started becoming just a place where photos of funny or silly things that people have done in the name of expediency (or liability-reduction) have done.
I saw this there today, which immediately went to my top ten of uncaptioned photos ever posted there.
ETA: Thanks to our Antipodean cousins for these additional photos, with useful commentary.
