You think they would have finished London by now....
Haha! The surveyor...smoking his pipe, writing in his little book, adding a sense of authority & calm amongst the organised chaos of the basement excavation.
worked on that site back then and walked up to the top, tallest building in europe I think at that time.
😱🔥
Glad they have their flat caps and sort shoes on, got a be comfy while tons of steel float overhead
No hard hats there
@airscrew1 The guys that built the skyscrapers decades ago knew a thing or two about survival, unlike the H&S self righteous mob.
Ah, the stench of the "we don't need no safety gear" ballcocks. Go find the stats for deaths and maimings on building sites for then and now and see how they compare. Even 40 years ago deaths on big projects were viewed as "one of those things that can't be helped".
The worst of it is the the HSE are a very prosaic organisation. The problems come from over cautious people making up stuff and saying "the HSE says so"
airscrew1 I've worked in similar situations (warehouses etc) since I was 16, I am 46 now and have both my feet thanks to steel toe caps. You'd have to be crazy to work on a site like that without at least your boots and safety hat. An RSJ will kill you either way...but it's usually a spanner or a big tile that comes down. H&S must have saved thousands since these days in the video.
Machinery was much quieter back then
Yeah even at a consumer level too. I remember the first electric lawn mowers and they were very quiet, compared with todays garden mowers and strimmers that are deafening to the point they can be heard in the next street!
@@EgoShredder /whoosh?
Electric motors, as quite as my Ebike , but the oil industry complained so combustion motors were ushered back in { little known fact in history } 😃
@@EgoShredder I think that the original poster was joking about the lack of sound.
@@GEricG Yep but I usually go off at a tangent! 😃
