Working beneath a boulder

OK, this wasn’t in America. I sometimes think I’d put our knuckleheads up against anybody’s, but maybe not. If they had an Olympics for flagrant hazards, we’d be out of the medals if this is the competition.

On the plus side, he is wearing a hard hat. Also, if you look carefully at the boulder’s 4 o’clock, you’ll see a plastic drink bottle propped on another rock, so he is also staying hydrated. And maybe that boulder is actually 20 feet long, so that’s just the tip sticking out. Yeah, that’s it.

We appropriated this item from our kindred spirits at Safety Soapbox, home of the excellent and always startling “Absolute Shocker of the Week” and “Bodgey Scaffold of the Week.” The Safety Soapbox is an initiative of WorkSafe Victoria, which is a division of the Victorian WorkCover Authority, a branch of the Australian government.
