A closer look at the previous scaffold. The suspended scaffold is supported
by ropes attached to portable ladders lying on the roof. Buckets and bags of
sand were used for counter weights. The ladder coming off of the roof is
actually MOVING (not enough counter weight!). On the right, the scaffold is
attached to a 90-year-old fire escape that was ready to pull out of the
building. To make matters worse, the overhead electrical wires you see in the slides are
LIVE, and the whole scaffold is energized!!! Do you think a Competent Person
was involved in the erection of this scaffold? |
