The construction supervisor's response when challenged about health and safety on his site

This image was taken by Nick Forwood. "I stayed in a hotel very close to a construction site in Addis Ababa. These guys were standing on timber scaffold poles and the occasional plank - it's not shown but they were 10 storeys up. No PPE, no barriers, nothing. On talking to a construction supervisor on the ground, he said was "it's ok, the church is a five minute walk away and the hospital is 10."
