  1. This is a very sad incident.

    Many employers provide safety gear to relevant job positions, yet however much supervisors ask staff to utilize them, many staff refuse ( too hot, uncomfortable to work in, can’t breath easily etc.)
    Not sure what the solution is short of asking staff not using protective gear to leave the site/job & forfeit that days pay.

  6. As a construction worker this one shocked me. I pray for his family. Many times we go on these sites without protective gears. Sometimes we are negligent. I am not saying this is the story with this dude. I dont know the circumstances. What i know is that I am truly sorry
