Had to laugh when I read Glort's comment about Uganda. I worked there, on an oil rig, for about a year and at one stage the cellphone company wanted to put up a tower in one of our accommodation bases. They spent a week or so casting a huge plinth then started erecting the steel sections. As soon as they got the first level up, about 5m, and started on the next layer, the rig safety officer went ape about lack of safety gear. These guys worked in short pants and T shirts (rags), no shoes, gloves, nada. Oil company was British and even though the actual rig was about 20Km's away, he made a huge fuss about the fact that he's the 'man". Issued harnesses, hard hats, safety boots to the guys who just could not work in them. After one morning's work of no progress, they all went on strike and refused to work. End result, the cell company built a new plinth just outside the camp perimeter, and moved the tower there. Safety officer was earning $900 per day, Ugandans maybe about $3. Safety officer was a fat turd, who wouldn't be able to climb a 6ft step ladder, Ugandans were fit young lads who could run up a 50m tower with one hand tied behind there backs. They had, at this stage already erected at least 50 towers around the country with no safety gear. They didn't even use a crane for lifting the steel sections. What they did was lash a telephone pole to the highest layer, then hoist the next layer up with a block and tackle. As they advanced up they just moved the telephone up with them. Not a single accident.
