Es ist schön zu sehen, dass die EU-Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsstandards eingehalten werden …

Since you reported it, people responsible will get a big fine. But thats all.

Omg we are never safe

Btw, is there a government body supervising building sites safety? Something like OSHA in US?

I bet the people living around the Crystal Springs area are really glad the building standards are so tight.

scaffold failures are not that uncommon, they are temporary structures and are designed to much lower loads. if they were high winds (not accounted for in design) that could lead to that. other issues would be poor construction or damaged parts, but typically h&s bodies inspect these before being used.
