I was flying around one of the building sites that I regularly documented, when one of the workers started shouting at me from a distance that I had to  %#*#*# get the *&^*&^ out with my *(&^#$*&^drone....
Later I saw on the footage, he was not wearing his helmet, so I assume he did not want to get caught on camera. One positive reaction was from the crane company that wanted to have this footage. So I shared it with them.

You have Karen’s too?

Always good to have allies!

It did make me feel better.

Nice work with the footage Peter.  %#*#*#  - is that Dutch ?  

Nicely documented.    Lots of ongoing work at that construction site.  

I did notice a few of what would have been violations of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration rules.  Could be what that worker didn't want you to see in addition to his violation of no helmet.

What's that?

From an online dictionary.

Karen is a pejorative slang term for an obnoxious, angry, entitled, and often racist middle-aged white woman who uses her privilege to get her way or police other people’s behaviors.

Thanks.
Well. I don't remember. But I think it was a combination of words we both should not say.

One more video to come before I'm done.
Yeah, I think so.

I must say I felt better after talking to the overseer. He was very interested in the heist footage. It apparently was a big job for them.

I bet they were pleased with the result

You're very welcome.  Nice to know the crane company wanted a copy of your video.  Makes you feel proud of your work.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-12 14:01

    Definitely not a term I use.

Yeah, absolutely!

Quite a few dont seem to have helmets on.

Yup. And I did not see them wearing any fall protection either.
Not sure if that is mandatory

Is common everywhere ... When people want to cover their ass, they shout. In any case nicely captured the construction.

The last roof I had to cross to get to a machine room I had to wear a harness and clip into the safety wire,  but Im not sure if that was a legal thing or insurance related.

Even my kids do this when 'caught' ......
(we correct them of course)
Thanks!

I would feel like it is insurance related, but there are also national rules here.
So it can depend on the company you are working for.

I like that.  

Montfrooij Posted at 1-13 00:26
Yeah, absolutely!

Nothing beats the sense of accomplishment.  A pat on the back once in a while is also nice.

DowntownRDB Posted at 1-13 04:00
I like that.

It made me laugh and cry at the same time.

I sometimes give myself that

It was really good for a quick chuckle but I do see the sad side of it also.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a little self praise and what a motivator it can be.

Indeed. Big dilemma.

You can do it Peter!

Montfrooij Posted at 1-12 12:18
What's that?

It’s a phrase we use here for people that complain for no real reason.

Ah ok. Lost in translation there.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-13 11:05

I think it’s used in America too

I looked it up,  we have a law for it from 2005 called The Work at Height Regulations 2005.  Seems complicated.

No doubt.

Yes, for sure.  Okay, I'm assuming you are Peter.
