Prairieboy Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 There seems to be a distinct lack of safety harnesses and 'fall arrest' equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MekkOne Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I still doubt about the damages report as I was in the middle of the storm and it was not that bad at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, government dont care, there are lots of people to replace the fallen ones. My gf, labour inspector, tells me it is in Thai law to use. Only when accident happens, they ll inspect and take actions, weird hey?! Well im amazed sometimes more about her stories about labor conditions, im flabbergasted.

monkeycu Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Try placing the poles in deeper holes with a concrete footing, then they may stay up for a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
