The Construction Safety Circulation Service- Absolute Shocker of the Week
(John Gorman, Global Demolition Technology Leader, Dow Chemical Co.)

Over the years, we have published many examples of work on roofs without perimeter protection, misused elevating work platforms and misused forklift trucks. But when you get all three happening in the one photograph, you know you’ve hit the jackpot.

It hardly seems possible that anyone could come up with a more dangerous or more ridiculous way of doing roof work than this Absolute Shocker from Indiana, USA. Whilst mounting a successful prosecution against the contractor responsible for this fiasco would be a walk in the park, you’d have to admit that his defence lawyer would be on a hiding to nothing.
