Health and Safety 2


Thailand is great for the lack of Health and Safety, there is such a ready supply of labour and very few enforcable H & S laws.

The above picture shows the workers hanging off a 30 storey office block doing the windows, when you got closer they were only tied onto a plank. No safety harness, no safety equipment of any kind. All for probaly £5 a day.

The picture below is of a 1 tonne pick up. There are thousands on the roads of Thailand, the most popular vehicle.

This one was belting down an Express Way at a great rate of knots. I think it was full of Rice, as you can see there is more like four tonne on the back. One good gust of wind and that thing will be over.

I over took on the right.
