My great grandfather worked on the dam. He was hit in the head with a huge (steel beam? Something?) That was so heavy it pushed him into the setting concrete he was standing on. He survived thanks to headgear but he suffered brain damage that meant he could no longer smell. Wasted away because eating sucked after that.
Love the little “safety” rope
So not construction workers? No reason for them to be inside a giant pipe while it’s being moved by a crane other than the photo op?
It was 1935, what else are you going to do for fun?
Invade Belgium
Wear your best suit today, we’re gonna do some insane shit.
Nope. Nope nope nope.
Hahaha, I’m sure safe working load and safety margin on the crane capacity was a thing - though if there was an incident, then I’m sure it could be blamed on agitators
Most of the rules and safety we have today comes from decades of stuff like this. OSHA regulations are written in blood almost literally.
Everyone on that would have a hard hat, harness, and fall arresting device of some sort if it were today, and that’s because people fell getting too high without safety.
Come on now, they got a rope across the front there, surely that’s sufficient? (yes, sarcasm). Haha
