Some of the things that some of those people are doing are so dumb they deserve to get hurt. While those other pictures are what happens on job sites.
Try walking on a 2 inch wide space 10-20 feet in the air carrying a grease rag in one hand and a grease gun in the other, while wearing military boots.

Some of the black and white pictures look like they are from when they built the empire states building.
There is a site that has hundreds of pictures from when it was being constructed and there are lots of pics of the workers asleep suspended on thing RSJ's and happily eating their sandwiches up there.

The empire state builders were members of some tribe - can't remember which  . There was a programme about them a couple of years back as they did most of the high rise stuff as they weren't bothered about heights - scary stuff |

I have heard of that tribe, but most of the pics on the website that I saw seemed to be white Americans. I'll try and find it when I have more time and post the link. The pictures are superb!

Your right. They now have reg's for everything. OSA is another one that looks after things. Get them on your butt in the USA and you might as well kiss that job goodbye until you get things all squared away.

I don't think it is this tribe. Navajo tribe is what comes to mind for me.
