Ugly building. Badly formed concrete, not painted, poor compaction of the concrete above her. Bad patch job on the face of the concrete on her left side.

And she is not wearing steel-toed safety shoes. Hardhat. Safety glasses. Gloves. Fall restraint. Makes you wonder if she ever got a pre-job brief or hazard-awareness training lately.

That platform she’s on doesn’t have a 4-inch toeboard. No middle rail on the handrail either. Her guardrail should be 1-1/4 diameter, the one she’s leaning on is too small to meet fed guidelines. Probably isn’t verified to withstand 200 lbs sideways force either - those flimsy concrete insert screws holding it up aren’t real big.

All those day-to-day on-job hazards probably account for her excess worrying being restrained into a cushioned airplane seat when the airplane hits turbulence.

Those stripes on her undergutchies don’t appear to be high-reflectivity either.
