My Construction Photos > Masonry construction safety, fall hazard: Laborer/ hod carrier stands on top of 3 ft high unstable stack of concrete block and 19 ft above ground, leaning out and stacking heavy blocks, with no fall protection from safety line or guardrail. Ann Arbor, 2004.
My Construction Photos > Masonry construction safety, fall hazard: Laborer/ hod carrier stands on top of 6 ft high unstable stack of concrete block and 19 ft above ground, leaning out and stacking heavy blocks, with no fall protection from safety line or guardrail. Ann Arbor, 2004.
My Construction Photos > Masonry construction: Terex SS-842 rough terrain hydraulic telescopic boom forklift picks up banded batch of 8"x8"x16" concrete blocks, using the left two tines of its fork. Forklift has 8,000 lb capacity and can reach 25' and lift 42' high. Huron Village Shopping Center, Ann Arbor, 2004.
My Construction Photos > Masonry, brick, block, construction: SkyTrak 8042 4-wheel drive rough terrain hydraulic telescoping boom fork lift carries material on pallet. Rotary diamond blade saw station sits in front foreground. Scaffold storage is in rear and lower right. East Ann Arbor UMHS Clinic, Plymouth Rd, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 2005.
My Construction Photos > Masonry, brick, block, construction: Brick layers on scaffold to left lay bricks for exterior walls. Yellow scaffold is welded tubular modular scaffold, with 2"x10" S4S dimensional planks layed across scaffold frames to form work and material platform(s). Lower center is masonry saw station. Mortar is mixed at lower right. SkyTrak rough terrain fork lift is just to right of center midground. East Ann Arbor UMHS Clinic, Plymouth Rd, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 2005.
My Construction Photos > Construction elevating platform, masonry construction: Two workers drill hole in concrete block exterior wall to install sign. Workers are supported by an Elliott G85 hydraulically powered, self-leveling 85' high reach elevating work platform. Workers also wear full body safety harness and lanyard attached to work platform boom. Ann Arbor, MI, 2004
My Construction Photos > Masonry construction safety, scaffold: Mason installs a side bracket on a welded tubular steel scaffold section to support 2-2"x10" wood planks on which masons will stand to erect concrete block wall from this point up. Side brackets have already been installed on the scaffold sections to either side, and they are currently supporting the planks. These side brackets are installed at an unsafe height, because the masons will stand only ~8" below the top of the current wall, which provides no fall protection against their falling 20' off the scaffold and over the wall. 

The group of galvanized wire items hanging in center of photo are ladder type concrete block reinforcement to be laid in the mortar joint every 2 or 3 courses of block. Ann Arbor, 2004.
My Construction Photos > Masonry construction safety, fall hazard: Two bricklayers stand on wood plank working platform 20 ft above ground with no fall protection. The wall currently extends only 8" above the platform on which they stand. As they place mortar (as bricklayer on left is doing) and concrete block, they are exposed to a 20 ft fall. Bricklayer at right is getting his trowel out of his tool bag, to join the other bricklayer in laying block. 

All work/ material platforms supported by top frame of tubular scaffold, except at mortar box and concrete block landing areas, have steel cross-bracing. Guardrails with toprails and midrails are required by OSHA. Cross-bracing may serve as toprail or midrail, if crossing point is 20" to 30" above work platform for midrail or 38" to 48" above work platform for a toprail. The cross-bracing on this project can serve as toprail, but a mid rail is still required. Ann Arbor, 2004.
