    On March 7, 2008, a colleague witnessed the erection of a tower crane at a construction site. When he noticed a lack of safety precautions, he approached the supervisor but was dismissively told "NO PROBLEM". Later that day, there was a fatal fall from the crane. The document warns that overconfidence due to experience can lead contractors to forgo safety procedures and result in fatal accidents, reminding readers to always use fall protection and properly assess risks.

    Fatal fall from a height

    On the 7th of March 2008 a colleague observed the erection of a tower crane.
    Noticing the lack of common sense on site, he approached the supervisor. The
    response was as follows “NO PROBLEM” - they are experts and have been doing
    the same for many years in the UAE.

    Coincidentally he took some pictures and at the end of the day there was a
    fatality.
     
    Sometimes all of us need a wake up call to remind us, that over confidence
    due to the repetitive nature of the job and ‘experience’ overseeing safety
    procedures and precautions can lead to FATAL results.

    Please pass on to work colleagues and contractors alike.
