Adam a health and safety adviser for Sir Robert McAlpine, has been taking his work outside the office – see this photo of a brilliantly improvised cladding in Portsmouth.

Great example of construction safety evidenced by the guy who as "never had an accident in 40 years (yet!)"!.  The thing is Chris, as you know, is that for the cost of all he ladders he could have got a proper scaffold delivered, erected, inspected, altered and dismantled by a competent person.

Have a good weekend

You have got to smile at photos like that even though the H&S issues are serious - love the improvised youngmans as well.

cheers

Here Adam has taken heavy measures of safety before staying the ladder on the wall. At time, we don't bother such extreme when we want to finish the work in the earliest possible time.
