What Health and Safety?
Would you work here?
We received these 11 pictures in an email last week. They were pertinent as we had just been discussing A Useful Guide to Managing Manual Handling with its authors Steve Amos and James Hammerton-Fraser. This Useful Guide is the first in the series of 3 Useful Guides relating to Health and Safety.
Thousands of metres up the vertiginous slopes of Shifou Mountain in Hunan Province, China, a team of workers, operating with hardly any safety measures, are building a footpath. Once it is finished, will stretch for 3km and be China’s longest sightseeing footpath.
See if you can spot the harness!
The final product ready for the tourists. Would you walk along this footpath?

Yes, there is a harness in pictures 5 and 6, BUT the lanyard is a restraint not a fall arrest type and far more importantly you may notice he is actually placing the carabiner just over a pin in the rock, it is not even locked on to anything! Darwin awards entry I think? I would be interested to know how many died in the making of the walkway?
Thanks for your comments James. I hope no-one died. It must be quite an experience to walk along it!
