10 Ways To Get Hurt On A Lend Lease Building Site #LendLeaseSafetyAudit

Lend Lease have responded to a safety audit of their building sites by calling the construction union responsible "Disgraceful" The audit came off the back of two fires, and two bungled evacuations 8 days apart at Barangaroo - A flagship, harbourside development in Sydney. Lend Lease have said safety was used as a "cynical industrial tool" You be the judge...

10. Have a Drink.

Step down, bow head, sip from bubbler, straighten up, belt head, be stunned, step away, trip on ledge, fall over, have preventable injury that stops you from working for a while.

9. Walk around.

There is nowhere better to pepper the floor with unmarked holes than a building site. Nobody is carrying anything heavy, or sharp, and people are almost always 100% focused on the integrity of the floor.

8. Go through doors.

Just one of a number of Lend Lease specials. This is a doorway blocked with supplies. there are only a few hundred guys on this site and one exit point, so it's not like this will get in the way of evacuations...

6. Start surprise work bonfire.

Reminiscent of a teenager's bedroom....except with slightly more improperly stored dangerous chemicals. Slightly.

This storage area is a disaster waiting to happen.

5. Put out that fire.

Hide and seek with fire extinguishers is fun..... right?

If you ignore the fact that that there was a major fire on a site in the same complex in 2012 and two fires on another Lend Lease Sydney site in Feb/March 2014.

4. Shut a door.

What? this is exactly how you're supposed to hang electrical cables... Over a door, in an obstructed walkway. That way, when people trip, there is also a good chance they'll pull whatever that cord is attached to over onto someone else. GREAT STUFF!

3. Take a second to enjoy the view.

It might be your last, especially if you lean on that railing while you look.

2. Stand still.

This is what happens when a trip hazard meets an electrical hazard and they fall madly in love.

Serious though - that is madness

Standing still here or walking through here - both equally dangerous.

1. Walk through here.

Aside from the fact that this this could be slippery, You better just hope there aren't any electrical cables lying around the floor.
