ENR launch Is This Safe? public photo gallery



Whatever area of the construction or demolition industry you work in there will always be some less than safe situations, or workers who just aren't following the proper (safe) procedures.

Engineering News Record (ENR) has decided to create a new photo gallery where anyone can submit an image of work being carried they believe is unsafe.

Maybe, as in the image above, a worker isn't wearing gloves, or a piece of machinery isn't being used properly. If you see this happening just take a photo and head on over to ENR where it will be put on display for all to see.

In the end, it may make everyone a little bit safer, or at least educate people as to the dangers facing workers on-site.
