Set it up right, dont over reach , getting on and off them onto a steep roof, alloy ladder on a steel gutter add to the excitement

Working on the cranes and industrial fitting at the steelworks and cement works involved the odd ladder or three, nothing worse than being on the top level of the blast furnace or cooler towers and realising the spanner you need in back in the toolbox in the shipping container a km away
Or putting all the harness on, going through the JSA and locking out everything, only to find there is no anchor point for the fall arrester and you had to walk half the length of the shed on a single rail dripping with oil so you get the overhead crane back to its bay and fix the leak .... then walk back down the rail to remove the lockout so you could move the crane
then walk back down the single rail to the crane because the crane control on the cable was up on the crane, had to pull it up or the Maori riggers would take off with the crane as soon as it was going and quite likely run you over because you couldn't run fast enough back up the rail
The two extremes when it came to safety, the steelworks and cement works, every safety thing you could think of and you were escorted off site if you were caught not using it, the crane building mob ... how do you spell "safety" never heard of it, but you had to wear safety glasses and ear plug because they were worried about compo claims
