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. The date when the image was taken is unknown but it shows scaffolders erecting a scaffold on what looks like a vicarage in North Ferriby with a total disregard for safety. No PPE  is seen on any of the workers of the “cowboy outfit” and one so called scaffolder looks to be wearing trainers.

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…
