Misuse of a trestle stand
Posted On: 31 August 2008
Three more examples of inappropriate and dangerous working at height came in yesterday, once again demonstrating the opportunities that still exist even in the developed market.
Today's example may not look as bad as some we have seen, however the highest number of deaths and serious injuries result from relatively low level falls where people are complacent.
Perhaps the worst thing about this use of a trestle stand as a form of stand alone access is that a fully equipped alloy tower is available on site. Just seems that this man could not be bothered to get it out.
