@wayneL been there done that.I had a fair few shocks from the electric fence. VERY high volts but very low amps, still gives you a hell of a kick.
Enough to know I never want to get belted with the mains
It's like this, drunk old Freddie who doesn't have a mechanical bone in his body can work on a school bus, install brakes and almost kill 20 school kids and it's looked as poor bloke just trying to make a living, engineer Tom installs a GPO and his neighbour reports him and he almost goes to jail.You are onto something, you have to make sure you do not freeze into contact.
That is indeed true, same for ladder, wet feet etc.
Never expect power not to be on, so always check, ideally with phase tester.
When just zapped with 250v, not worse than my cattle electric fences
Basically, my issue is we are in a country where a company is found guilty and fined heavily if an employee who should know better, an electrician,even an apprentice , get zapped, but in the same years we have a government forcing a medical experiment killing conservatively 10k to 15,000 australian in a year (extra death 2022) and it is supposed to be ok and no one has been fined, let alone jailed
That's all.
Let's go back to the thread.
Appears to be plenty of chiefs and not too many indians.Road repair in front of new townhouses. Laying bitumen 6m x 2m
The yellow high vis are the safety watchers, they keep an eye out on external safety factors like traffic.
The orange high vis are the workers preparing and laying.

My enterprise has been reduced is a one man show thse days with She Who is never Wrong as the back-up transport officer. Still doing the work of 3 though.Yes, and that is part of the problem with the economy. Poor productivity leads to higher costs and inflation.
I call this dunny economics. Note the large yellow convenience for the colonic workers.Road repair in front of new townhouses. Laying bitumen 6m x 2m

Possibly a Western Australian issue because of the huge mining industry here, but I can tell you that people in general are getting pretty naffed off about the difficulty of getting anything done here.
I'd do this when I overcharged on a job. Bring way too many guys to justify the price.Road repair in front of new townhouses. Laying bitumen 6m x 2m

Tell that to the builders union and the warfiesWe are making someone redundant and no pay rises this year.
It is getting tougher but the screws are tightening very slowly. I reckon we won't have an inflation problem in 12 months and will be in recession.
Designers always see it first.

being a Tradesman in Mining for the past 20 years, i can tell you that the mining companies havent trained any one for the past decade, when the work place industerial laws changed under Rudd, it was similar to Howards just re branded, it alowed compamnies to0 go away from enterprise agreements and abuse causal labour, the the completion rates for apprentices now days is low and people staying in the trades is low also & rther majority of apprentices they put on are to tick boxesWe had some work being done on our Land Rover last week. The owner of the business was whinging about being able to get tradesmen, especially auto electricians... Minor electrical issue could not even be fixed because just can't get guys. Also keeps losing people to the minds having completed their apprenticeship with him they just nick off up north FIFOing.
It's the same thing in my trade, it is virtually impossible to find and keep people in the trade, as I have mentioned before.
