Bodgey Scaffolds and Absolute Shockers
The Safety Soapbox includes "Bodgey Scaffold of the Week" and "Absolute Shocker of the Week". These are photos of dangerous construction work sent in by subscribers. They are ideal for construction safety training, tool-box meetings and site noticeboards to remind everyone of the dangers of unacceptable work practices.
Many of these photos have been archived under the "Absolute Shockers" section on the safteng.net , a USA-based community service website managed by Bryan Haywood.
The service is open to everyone, but it is particularly useful to:
- construction workers’ health and safety representatives
- managers of construction companies
- site supervisors
- construction industry industrial skills trainers
- construction industry OHS consultants
- suppliers of plant and equipment to the construction industry
