Work safety at construction sites has improved immensely in the past century. But progress is a slow and gradual process, and it looks like the fundamentals of occupational safety still hadn’t reached every corner of the world. The construction safety fails you’ll see in this article are not for the faint of heart. But don’t worry, no careless worker was harmed in the production of these pictures (even though they tried really hard).
