Firstly, let's try to focus on some of the positive aspects of this bloke's method of work:

Sadly, the only gold star this week is for wearing a high-visibility vest which, unless it was stiched from magic carpet material, isn't much help to him if he falls.

When it comes to the 'scaffold' being used well the less said the better.

The cantilever principle isn't one of the more successful methods, even if you have closed the window to 'secure' the planks.

We've nothing more to add!

We think the reason there are two 'Groucho' riggers riding this steel, is because if there were only one, clearly, the load would have been out of balance.

While 1970's fashion is 'back in', 70's unsafe rigging practices are equally as ugly!

Ladder lunacy returns, with two roofers who thought that it would be easier to simply tie a few ladders together to access the ridge capping, rather than obtaining a more suitable and safer height access equipment.

Climbing this 'stairway to heaven' could quite easily end up in an ambulance trip to the emergency room or possibly the morgue.

When our subscriber, who sent in these photos (a concerned safety professional), spoke to these two guys he was told where to go; in no uncertain terms.

The subscriber, who sent these photos, wrote:

'This welder is working on the 15th floor, and as you can see, with no fall protection. The wind speed was 60km per hour on this day.

I approached him and asked "do you have a family?" He said yes and that he loves his family dearly. I showed him the photos, and stated that from his actions I did not think he loved his family. He totally agreed and realized that he needed fall protection and the wind was too high for him to continue."

NOTE: Yes, we realize that the other scaffolds on this site have some serious issues.
