There is a lot of construction going on around our house and as I watch the various workmen involved in the building work I am amazed that there aren't any serious accidents.
To get the mortar and bricks to the second storey labourers carried them up rickety ladders on their heads. They didn't have any safety gear and were generally barefoot.
Across the road they are putting up the roof. The men working on it have no form of safety harness and just perch precariously on the framework while hammering the next beam in place. I am also sure there is no form of insurance for them or compensation if they do have an accident.
Labour is cheap here and unfortunately the workmen know there are lots of others ready and willing to do such risky jobs!
