Brilliant for overboard jobs…saved me a few levels!
As they also tethered all fittings/tube for this job.. can you see a pattern forming now CarpTukka Baits ?? 🙂
Is that a maypole?
Don’t reckon much on the belt
One less thing for you boys to worry about dropping, and we all know how many times you do drop them,
It certainly is Gavin John Moir
I agree with reducing dropped/falling objects…but this is a bit much, these tool lanyards would got caught or snagged on objects ,depending where your working. Seems like they could be more of a hindrance than anything else…only my opinion!!.
All the gear — —-!
Dont worry Lads in ten years time we will have claims in because of the unnecessary weight we were all made to carry during our working lives.
Don’t do it if you going drop it ….
Jamie Robertson aka ten spanners ha
If you read the article you will see they have tethered all fittings/tubes for 3,000 square meters of scaffolding to complete the job safely.
Who is the model Elliott

HA ha ha has he got one for his keys as well
Lol at tool lanyards
I bet u he has, it’s mandatory on Gkr to wear chinstrap at all times
I’ll put £100 on it that he hasn’t got his chin strap on though.
Stormtrooper ?
Working at the heights they are over ppl how busy London is I can see y doh but I’d hate to be 1 with it all
Kristopher Jay Chapman knows a few like this ba !!
Agree
Ridiculous !! Ott
Personally I think there’s more risk of him getting tangled up with all that extra stuff hanging off his harness? Any thoughts on this
