I have done something similar when no one else was willing.
Can't say it was right! Yet it was that or starve!
That is wrong! No matter what year!!!
Is a life really worth it? What about hundreds or thousands? Especially when the well off would refuse to do so!
Try installing insulation while hanging outside of an industrial scissor lift at the third floor without a lanyard by yourself without anyone around because your half starved!
It puts that image to shame! Yet that's Texas for you in 2003! OSHA has no effect on so called "Right to work states"!
Not willing? You just don't work. You starve!

@IronHamster tell people like the law makers in Texas with laws like the right to work! Many there are even young.

@DeWayfarer I have no problem with right to work. I've worked for union shops, too. Unions are no less corruptible than nonunion management.

@IronHamster please re-read my original reply!
There are serious problems with the right to work States and ignoring federal OSHA rules is the biggest!
Something like what I experienced in Texas just isn't possible in California! Union or not! I never was apart of a union in any state ever. And worked on highrise bleachers in California.
Once again, no lanyard! And anyone that didn't just didn't work!
"We don't need you today"!!!
And they never ask you back!
There must have been over a dozen guys on that job when it started. I was the last person there that finished it, without a lanyard!

Despite the many dangers back then, those buildings were made to last. Even though construction is still a dangerous profession, regulations and various safety codes have made it safer for workers.

Back then nothing as it was created in 1971
