I actually saw a man walking across a roof on my way home from the shops today, no harness, no scaffold, nothing. When I had a builder, I gave the boss a pair of safety boots and a hard hat when he was demolishing a high wall, after he turned up in trainers for the third day on the trot, and this was a week after one of his men was badly hurt when a scaffolding board broke on another site and he fell 3 metres into a ditch where blocks and rods had been posed, and yes he did land on one of the rods and was impaled, but missed his kidneys by a fraction.
I wonder if they have the same safety requirements over here, the large sites seems well controlled and on a par with the UK, but do they have written risk assessments on site if they employ more than 5 people as they do in the UK? The problem is that the EU Directives only lay down an overall requirement not the means to achieve it, each country determines its own and the UK is often accused of going to the Nth degree to achive the requirements of EU legislation Any builder in the UK who had a scaffolding board break (which have to be inspected daily in the UK), causing a serious injury like that would be looking at a prohibition notice for the site and a massive fine, all my guy got, or so he told me, was a ticking off at a Tribunal at Rodez.
Why not post a sensible answer, people will appreciate it more
All of the above are excellent reasons for not employing "black" workers.
Personally if legit, insured workers on my house choose to interpret H&S rules in their own manner I leave them to it. It takes long enough to get them here without introducing excuses for them to ****** off.

And there are those who are not so concerned at the lack of a French H.S.E.
How do I get the images to show (i.e. rotate 90 degrees) as they do on photobucket?
