Like most trades it’s mostly safe if you do it by the book. Of course, reading is hard and taxing so just crack on til you fuck up then cover your tracks afterwards.
Not wearing fall protection up a scaffold is just macho posturing. A lot of guys wear their harness(to satisfy the hse person on site)but securely ziptie the lanyard to the back so it doesn’t get in the way. Utter madness.@Stonehedge I know multiple wood butchers with doctorates, tech certs and other surprisingly crazy qualifications. An equal number can barely walk and talk at the same time tho.

Scaffolding has always seemed to be a dodgy profession to me.
'Would you like to just wear a Hi Viz vest and no safety helmet while people 6 stories up throw scaff clamps at you?'
