This damming image from Google street view shows scaffolders working unsafely while erecting a job in North Ferriby, East Riding of Yorkshire .

The link to the image was posted today on our Facebook page by one of our followers.

This image comes to light as the Health & Safety Executive  just announced a month long safety blitz on construction sites across the country. Lets just hope firms like these cowboys are caught in the act before somebody is killed…
