Occupational Heath and Safety … is it really needed

8 07 2008

One of the interesting things here in Zim is the lack of Occupational Heath Safety on the worksite.  It always humours me to see the ways in which things are done without the stringent guidelines back in Brisbane.  I remember last year when one of the dorms was being re-thatched; the thatchers put their scaffolding on a bucket and a couple of bricks so they could get it a little higher and more even.  This year, when the roof structure was being put on the dining hall, a young man was up about 3 m’s and walked out onto an wooden plank only being held by another man on the scaffolding … life is Zim … you gotta love it.
