Its funny in 30 plus years on sites I've never seen anyone injured falling off a wagon , sure it happens though. Seen a few nasty head cuts from curtain sider buckles flapping in the wind though.

Haha, some of these fall arrest systems are a joke. When coltman concrete were putting a floor in for my uncles firm they had them round the trailers and me and my dad and cousin were watching them put them up and realised, if you fall off the trailer onto it your either gonna bounce into the truck or back down onto the ground, or even worse there so un-blown up you would just hit the ground through it anyway!!!

Don't know to be honest , main contractor is Birse Coastal who are part of Balfour Beatty (same colours on all their gear) . BB seem to be winning all the civils work in the NE , probably going in on nil margin and shafting the subbies and/or the client :D
