Carrying Big 6 asbestos sheets to a 7 metre roof on my shoulder on a ladder (not fixed) then having to cut them with a large hacksaw blade with a bit of rag wrapped round one end. No edge protection on a fragile roof as we were repairing it after a fire. I was 16 an doing as I was told as I was the"boy". It was 1973.
Same company different job, painting an asbestos roofed cowshed green with a 6 inch brush, was dropped off on my own with a ladder the paint and the brush at 08.30 and spent all day on my own and was picked up again at 5.30pm. The second day I took the yard cleaners broom and extra paint, tipped the paint from the tin and swept the roof, in those days a harness only went on a horse. Same company, removing the auger from a pig slurry pump that was in a full pit about 3 feet deep. Left after 6 months.
