I have a memory of sat in the works canteen eating my sandwiches, which was actually a container that housed all the site materials, boxes & cable drums were seating, a 3 bar electric fire was the site microwave, the toilet was round the back of the container, and the hand washing facilities were...well non existent. The heating for the container was, a donkey jacket, and nobody was wearing a hard hat, cos they hadn't been invented.

Least you could wear shorts if you wanted :)
 
No but felt liked i would of like to,just realised I didn't like him,he didn't like me,he said I had attitude,I've never had attitude in my life.
I got kicked off site once because I refused to write the word SPARE on a spare way in the db. the way i looked at it is someone came along and installed another circuit then it's got the word spare written on it.
You can tipex it out or get a sticker I guess but it looks messy.
Ridiculous really when I look back on it.
Site manager was an ar*e tho!
 
It seems to be the way it is now. The last site I was on we had to wear steel toe cap boots with sole protection, hard hat, gloves, safety glasses and if we took any of them off at any time while on the actual work site (not canteen) then it was a warning 2 warnings and the 3rd you are off site for good, I got told off twice for taking my glasses off just to wipe them as they was fogging up (they was anti fog glasses but I work very hard so still steam up) I even told him it was a lot more safe for me. To take them off and wipe them then to walk around not being able to see any thing in front of me but he didn't care that was the rules. I even cut my finger while working as I could not even see my hands properly to see what I was doing so stabbed my self with a screwdriver but again that was my fault for not working safely but if I had tried to wipe them and got caught I would of been off site haha its stupid.
 
Crazy world out there,really don't do any favours for us,all we wanna do is get a days work done,I really don't go to work thinking I'm gonna die today,if I ain't got my essentials on .
