I remember those many projects where we were so safetied up that we could hardly get anything done, It was ridiculous.
I do agree safety is the most important aspect of any job especially the large ones with heavy equipment and cranes but to wear a safety harness when your feet are above 6ft. Such a joke .. Unfortunately when I was on a large job during the period when the corrugated decks were being laid there was one death, 1 unfortunate carpenter fell to his death while cutting the supports of a plywood cover over an elevator shaft that went multiple floors to the bottom, needless to say he didn't have a chance ..nor was he wearing a harness, very sad day.
You guys may of still needed to be harnessed simply incase the roof below your feet gave way ..
The worse project I was on would have to be the water treatment facilities .. nasty stink not to mention the soil can have very hazardous bio bugs. you certainly didn't want to put your fingers anywhere near your mouth or eyes ..
