Well that's terrifying.
This is how workers built those skyscrapers--with zero safety devices. 5 workers died building the Empire State Building and 60 workers died building the World Trade Centre. These buildings had several thousands of workers so the death rate was just 1%-2% which was deemed acceptable. A handful of workers dying while something was being built was just expected before unions and safety regulations changed that.
It changed a little for sure, but 13 people still die at work every day in the US. And nobody cares.
I care.
Thank you.
Me too, went from being endangered worker to safety instructor.
