Quoted:
We were on a BP job here in Houston a few years back that was GC'ed by Bovis Lend Lease.  We had to argue that we couldn't terminate our 22awg low voltage wiring with work gloves on.  One of the safety guys finally conceded and met us in the middle. He provided gloves that didn't have the ends of the thumb, index, and middle fingers.  We all thought that it was a workable solution and appreciated that he provided them to us, as he didn't have to.  We were using these gloves daily for a few months, when one day, some other Bovis safety guy walks up on a couple of us while working.  He wants to know why we thought it was okay to be wearing these gloves that are missing the tips of three fingers.  We told him how we got them and he says, "I don't care if my coworker okayed it and gave them to you, you can't use them".  So, now we had to get these two Bovis safety asshats together to figure out which one was going to win out on the argument.

I swear, there were days that I just wanted to get booted from that job.

It's no wonder why modern day construction costs what it does.

We came to work Thursday and some guys were pressure washing our cold storage building roof and none had a harness on. What could go wrong on a wet domed roof 40’ off the cement?

We called their manager and fixed that problem right away.
