Very foolish or very brave

After the recent storms along the West coast of Wales the clean up as begun..!! While walking this morning I came across these two mini diggers trying to clear debris from Tywyn prom now who in there right mind would do this for a job when there's stones the size of house bricks are battering your machine windows. Fortunately they gave up after after deciding they where fighting a losing battle

They were from North wales contracted out to help clean up but what I don't understand is what's the point because next week it will be just as bad. I did point out to them that they should be wearing life jackets especially when one got out to talk to he other after that big wave, it was clearly getting worse and those waves were getting bigger You can see the idiot trying to get in before the next one hit maybe they were council workers after all a Kerny

Obviously the foreman giving instruction before commencing work

[Chris Caton]

well if he is the foreman giving instructions he should be ashamed of himself, for letting them start work in the first place and for approaching the machine while the bucket is not in safe position and for allowing the other machine to be left without an operator and the bucket not in a safe position! similar poor practice caused an operator to be killed not long ago in part of business, caused lots of changes afterwards but still left someone dead and a family without a father

Actually Tony its highly unlikely that they are council wallers more like private contractors. Elf and safety rules wouldn't let our boys get there feet wet

[indaba1991]

Here are the council workers who came to pick up the stuff they were gathering

[Deekus]

agree....whats the point in doing it now?
make more sense to complete a repair job in the summer months
Madness

Yeah, professional contractors complete with armfuls of Risk Assessments and procedures, fresh from the last job that they decided to start at low water.....

Attachment 89298

Thats private sector for yer

[ShinyShoe]

But Chris'll be happy that they've left the bucket in a safe position so that someone can approach the machine ;-)

[Festinghouse]

sorry, but chris is right, machine buckets should be on the ground whenever the machine is not actively working
