Anybody else seen the Colin Furze bunker build project on Youtube in conjunction with Sky 1.

The link to the first episode is here -
but things get interesting from episode 2 - the dig, and 3, steel erection. There will be 5 eps in total but only 3 available so far to tie in with the new Sky 1 drama.

Ok so the dig is taking place in the presenters back garden but some of the H&S howlers are unbelievable.
- Inappropriate and unsafe use of ladders.
- Riding of excavator buckets / using bucket to nudge presenter.
- no PPE evident.
- Child playing on the construction site.
- No shoring up of the works.

I'm sure you'll spot more. I know its entertainment but the Cotswold Geotechnical case should at least alert somebody in the organisation to the lack of safety in this project.

CAT scanned before digging - I doubt it. CPP, na never. CDM, what's that!

Unfortunately it aint sexy to include h&s unless you're an enforcement officer who will no doubt be looking the other way.
