1000 feet up in the air building the temporary mast at Emley Moor. Picture from the Huddersfield Examiner.
I would quite happily do that job, you've got a safety harness so as long as your not stupid its perfectly safe!
Like I say to ehs at work, "a safety harness doesn't stop you falling, just stops you hitting the floor." and then you swing around with your balls in the back of your throat!
I think you have something like half an hour hanging in a harness after a fall before things can go very pear shaped

Interesting fact, the first & last stevedores killed whilst working on the Empire state building were father & son.That is not what my brain would be saying!!
When I worked on the 34th floor of The NatWest Tower I had to walk away when the blokes appeared outside cleaning the windows. If we were meant to be 34 floors up the outside of a building God would have given us longer legs. Or Arms. Or both.
Although this was apparently posed for a PR shot, it is one of my favourite photographs of all time.....

There was a dockyard strike at the time so they decided to work on the Empire state building.Stevedores load/unload ships, no wonder the got into trouble working on skyscrapers
Speaking of unusual coincidences with names my niece married an Afrikaans lad called Derek Sansom. His father was called Derek and his mother (a woman) was also called Derek, now that unusual innit?
