Don't hate me. It's rules you should be hatin'.:p:p

I never did see you do a RA in the carpark at Roma last year Ralph, Your use of the concrete gutter as a vehicle stand with those lilly white legs sticking out was quite a sight. :p:p

Unfortunately today OHSE did not go far enough and a bloke because of an incident will never be going home.
One was crushed when a brick wall collapsed on a construction site, 30 with kids, another was electrocuted last month trimming branches near high voltage, 22 :(
Very sad to see two deaths that could have been prevented.

Sliding door :confused: ... Just thinking out loud / thinking in text :)

Yes, a sliding door would be a good idea, but it couldn't be installed in the specific location of this accident because of the design of the building.

Actually there is a solution, put a gas cylinder on the door similar to your normal screen door but that regulates the speed of BOTH opening and closing.
Seen them in high wind areas to stop that exact accident from occurring.
