OK one more and then we are off to Antigua. This is new construction near San Felipe. Notice the scaffolding they make it on sight from poles they cut from near by trees and wired together. I dont know how they make them stand up much less to be sturdy enough to suport the workers. OSHA would have a field day here. Any way the Jungle Medic is only 1/2 mile up the road and there is a hospital only 2 hours away I guess they will be OK. I hope so.

Alot of my business is in the scaffolding, concrete forming, and shoring industry...they are all tied together. I would bet money that this is safer that the fabricated scaffolding that is being imported into the US from China. In Asia they use bamboo for scaffolding...the same matierial that has been used for a long time, BC not AD, the bamboo scaffold has a way better safety rating than the stuff they import to the US. Not saying the scaffolding in this picture is safe, but at least if they die using it is was of thier own doing, not because a large corporation saw a way to cut costs....
