Having worked for so many years as a manager in charge of Workplace Safety my heart always goes out to the men, women and sadly children who have no choice but to accept hazardous working conditions. Just look (in the video below) how close the heads of these guys passed under those powerlines!

These photos were not all taken on the one day or in the same place, sometimes I’m just overwhelmed by the things I see here and feel compelled to take a snap. Like in the first photo, those guys travelling on the top of a truck on a scorching hot afternoon.

Compared to the Philippines Australia is a paragon of safety and although it might be #morefuninthephilippines there are times when our ‘nana’ state in Australia is more than ok. #safetyfirst #safetyforeveryone
