No, that is also banned by the HSE.
Do you use the Force then?
They wouldnât know what a hod is, strictly prehistoric methods. I was shocked to see an electric cement mixer recently. Otherwise itâs all done with minimum technology. That includes standing breeze blocks on big tin cans for scaffolding
Outdoor painting stuff.
I havenât needed to call the emergency services yet, so Iâm calling it a win.
Lighting / electricity bits have now shipped, so thereâs always scope for a major conflagration in the next couple of days.
Report them to the HSE.
Lots of people have said that but having reported them for so many other things i am a little reticent . it is rather sad to see 2 thin chaps struggling to get big 20 foot plus joists up to roof height . nearly felt like helping them !!!
when they started they just climbed up on the roof with no ppe at all , no chutes , no skips , no scaffolding and started throwing all the roof tiles in the front garden with folks walking by and expensive cars parked nearby
then they threw the joists in the back garden from the roof like big javelins

the apex being the v shaped bit where he is standing , they just pushed it off the roof and then the rafters came off like javelins
i think its called the gable end
If one of them has an accident Phil you might feel a bit different
I hope they don`t . the contract says the the client is responsible for health and safety on site , i have reported it to local council and officers visiting this week after months of nagging them
It is not easy.
You can only do so much Phil.

Sitting on a SouthWesternRailways train stuck outside Vauxhall - for the last hour. Train rammed, like a fucking oven. The treatment of paying passengers in this country is a national disgrace.
Some started walking the tracks to get into the station, but even with my scant knowledge of electricity I thought that wasnât such a good idea.
Driver to be fair has tried to offer apologies which are sincere.
Just been cheered up by some middle aged bloke watching Frozen on his iMac with mahoosive headphones on.
Probably an abattoirist.
