They rope off areas providing no safe places for people to walk down a pavement (or cross). They leave construction items all over the place - some, such as breezeblocks - can't be seen from inside a car because they are so low.<BR/><BR/>There is, in short, a total disregard for public safety and worker safety, to the extent that no matter how much personal responsibility one takes, one is still at risk.<BR/><BR/>I will never forget the sight of dozens of business executives in suits trying to cross the road to DIEC and DIEC carparks and back, during recent exhibitions, with no crossing and constant traffic and blazing summer sun.secretdubaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115610824191031176noreply@blogger.com
