Workers on this church roof in Budapest seem to be at risk of prematurely entering the after life


Safety blunder

Thanks to Glyn Parkes for sending this image in. He says: "Whilst on holiday Febuary 2008 in Budapest, Hungary I was compelled to take the attached photographs from my hotel window.

"I can assure you that the person strutting the roof had no harness and you can see that the gutter had been removed so as not to break his fall. He did wear a safety helmet although it was bitterly cold.

"His colleagues appeared every now and then to empty buckets of internal roof rubbish to a skip at street level (no chute). You will notice the guardrail (which they ducked below) comprising of a horizontal tiling lath secured on timber uprights."
