How would you feel if a sub-contractor arrived at your home to undertake some work and ignored the most basic of H&S procedures to protect the workforce?
I have observed some really quite alarming failings today and it has been bugging me all day.
It seems my neighbour doesn't share my reservations about the conduct of the the subs. Had it been me they would have been kicked off of site and only allowed back once suitably kitted out.
I dont understand your concern for their safety, if they hurt themselves through their own negligence why would it be such a concern, they aren't children! I would just leave them to it!
Why should work being carried out at your neighbours house make you want to spit feathers. If the workers and the young lad are like you say what does it have to do with anyone but the householder. It will be their negligence if they are injured.
Sycamore, my question was about how you would feel.
I was bothered by the disregard for H&S and had it been my property they were working on I 'd have given them the boot. I was curious to know how others would have felt/behaved.
I wouldn't have liked it - I'd have been wondering what other short-cuts they were taking. Just last week, I watched three blokes cutting down a really tall tree next door (couldn't miss it), they were standing in the tree to cut the top bit off, they used all manner of hacking instruments (including a circular saw) and there was lots of swearing and shouts of 'I've cut myself'.
