6 Mar 09

The Bulls whooped the Lion cubs, we’re still top of the log and this weekend it is the mermaids from Cape Town’s turn! Come and see how we Dutchmen play rugby Watson, and by the way, look out for the naartjies boet. Well, let’s forget about the trivial things for now...

This week we moved to another site where paving needs to be done. A smaller site, but still no respect for health and safety, on the contrary. Where we spent this week there wasn’t even an induction. The bright, never had this high vis bib do any work, walking around ignoring critical substandard acts – Safety officers were present here for about 15 minutes of the whole week. I can understand why people get so pi$$ed off with Safety, because it is still a finger pointing kind of thing. The way people approach Health and Safety makes their workers feel like it is a waste of time. I wonder what it would take for these people to start taking safety seriously. This is going to sound bad, but I wonder if someone died on site, and the company responsible was taken apart in court because of their uselessness and ignorance if they would start doing something. I am furious as I am writing this. I can’t believe these people. I hope I can start making a difference soon. I get extremely worked up when I think about this whole thing!

I spent more time in the sun this week because the site we are at doesn’t have these high buildings shielding the sun. As a result, I have this lekker tan to show for it! A little painful at first, but not so bad now.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Cheers.
Stay classy
