A Blast from the Past: Fred Dibnah’s 1979 Weathervane Adventure
Have you seen the viral BBC archive clip of Fred Dibnah from 1979? This classic moment shows the legendary steeplejack scaling a church spire to fix a weathervane—all without the modern health and safety measures we rely on today. It’s a fascinating reminder of just how far health and safety protocols have come since then. Watching it, we can truly appreciate the advances in equipment, training, and overall workplace safety that help keep us all protected today.
Safety Reminder: The Vital Importance of On-Site Safety
Unfortunately, some lessons are learned the hard way. Recently, a construction firm was fined following a tragic incident where one worker lost their life, and another was seriously injured due to unsafe practices on-site. This sobering incident, highlighted in a recent HSE report, emphasises why strict safety protocols are essential. Health & Safety Mentor is dedicated to helping businesses avoid these kinds of tragedies by maintaining high safety standards and ensuring workers are protected.
