A crew of SEVEN on their way to Redhill Marina on the river Soar.

Has this got anything to do with a boat mentioned in a previous thread which was locked?

(Innocent face)

 

Note to OP- based on my previous experience:

 

By posting the position of this boat (and a photo) you have laid yourself open to accusations of poisonous spite by Chris Pink.

This may eventually escalate to the mention of the police at your door.

Why are they wearing hard hats?unsure.png

Because sometimes it's a sensible precaution and when it's not then on your head is still the easiest place to leave it. I understand your point, there is a tendancy for PPE to be required even when it serves no purpose (hard hats in an 8" deep trench on "time team" for instance) which in my view is detrimental to safety as it encourages an attitude of invulnerability and substitutes for risk awareness.

These guys would agree -

Yeah.....

 

The mortality rate of men working in this trade was the highest of all trades, and the ironworker could be lucky to go 10 years without a serious or fatal injury.

 

 

Although use of fall harnesses has reduced fatalities in this sector over time, structural steel erection remains one of the most dangerous occupations in construction. Workplace accidents claim the lives of approximately 38 out of every 100,000 full-time ironworkers each year
