Some workers in Thailand demonstrate a more relaxed approach to welding


Safety blunder

Thanks to Adrian Day for this image. While in Bangkok he witnessed an interesting scene when four workers were welding some framework to the outside of a building: “The man on the right, wearing flip-flops and standing on the framework and cables, is welding the frame to a wall bracket. The lighted welding torch had been handed one to the other as the frame was erected. I assume they were going to carry on like this until they reached to top of the building.”
