You need to ask yourself this question, Who’s responsible for your safety at work? 99% will say the employer (wrong) you’re responsible for your own safety.
You fools need to shut up, al those stupid rules do is run up the operatingng costs and cut into profits. Open and unregulated markets are free enterprise. This is why we have a huge building boom going on now. We have a government that knows how to take care of business. Praise the unity team
Think this is Phase 3 as 1 & 2 already occupied.
Sorry to hear & hope they are ok, but surprised we don’t hear about more such accidents. Rarely see workers here using safety harnesses.
health and safety in construction is a big joke around here
a few big law suits will sort things out…
including law suits against cig for failing to enforce their laws & regulations
Agreed but the damn law thats in existence is useless. Until the.Law contains fines that are levied when infractions are found then there will always be flaunting.
Looking at the photo-concrete invasion at full force. Mother nature is weeping.
I hope worker’s compensation exists in the Cayman Island. This man has a long road to recovery.
