Although it is a subject I do not know much,I believe it is important that the developer is aware of the danger to their subordinates, up owing to compel compliance with the rules of occupational hazards,del mismo modo trafico nos obliga a llevar un cinturón de seguridad y casco en las motos...

I'm surprised to see an architectural concerned about safety in the works, when it is an issue that your guild will never been interested…..me alegra.

It's funny to think that something that once they looked normal these workers now see it as a real outrage,times have changed and the way you see life also,muy interesante y las impresionantes fotos en blanco y negro hacen resaltar la realidad de la situacion.

You have to frame these photos in the American context of the Great Depression. The crack of 29 marked the beginning of this debacle that reached its lowest point in the 32 (year of photos) and only recovered to levels before the 29 about 22 años más tarde.
The construction of this and many other New York skyscrapers concentrated in those previous years of capitalist euphoria. Therefore it can be understood that these workers, despite the legend of the Mohawk-vertigo, may be of the lucky few to work even 244 meters. Without any security up and down either.
Health, friend.

Every time I see these pictures gives me a chill. My first thought is that it will fall into the void, but certainly, to see their faces, is something not arise as this work is part of daily life. It's amazing. Me pregunto cuántos morirían en la construcción de cada rascacielos.

Very interesting Jorge,
Sadly Spain is among the European countries with the highest rate of workplace accidents, led by the construction sector. It seems that much remains to be done
