1232509 2011-09-20 20:43:00 It's never your fault - it's always someone else's fault. It not a new phenomenon - look back at all the media coverage around police chases, the ridiculous McDonalds lawsuits in the US, etc. etc. somebody (208)

1232512 2011-09-20 22:23:00 I thought that ACC took away the right to sue. :confused:

I guess that Marmic Installations did commit an offence under safety regulations and reparation as well as a fine can be ordered by the court.

1232513 2011-09-20 22:27:00 1)How do they ensure safety? Follow him around all day to see if he's standing on the ladder/roof right??

2)How do scientists, who can't actually predict earthquakes, predict an earthquake. Or should they just put out random warnings every week in case of one?

It's crazy. Gone too far.........

Yeah i thought it was just New Zealand that did stupid things like that

1232515 2011-09-20 22:52:00 I would think that predicting earthquakes is much harder than forecasting the weather. The weather experts often get their forecasts wrong for reasons beyond their control. Do we punish weather forcasters for getting their forecasts wrong. If we did then our jails would be full of weather forecasters, leaving nobody to forecast the weather.

Scientists in Italy must live in fear of getting things wrong. This could hamper the advancement of scientific exploration and experimentation.

Italy does need to look at their building codes.

The starting point would be to ask if the installer was even supplied with suitable safety gear.

This has already been covered here pressf1.pcworld.co.nz

If "rough as guts" Metla can't see a problem with using a safety harness maybe Sky should be forced to pay installers a rate that covers doing the job safely.

1232517 2011-09-20 23:36:00 The question begs to be asked How is a lone installer meant to tie off a harness and rope system over a roof that high, and as I know from experience you cannot secure a ladder without first climbing it. But then again I do see some dodgy practices here, wooden scaffolding anyone? gary67 (56)
