Safety on the work floor is not really one of the priorities here in Lebanon. Working conditions in certain professions, such as construction for instance, or window cleaners, are sometimes a little precarious, to say the least. No hard hats, no ear protection for loud noises, no caps for toxic fumes or spray paint, and no safety lines. Are you kidding? Real men don’t use safety lines, har har.
So yesterday I walked past this apartment block, and saw this guy washing the windows on the fourth floor. 
He was standing in the planter. If he loses his balances, I was thinking, he cannot even hold on the something. I can just imagine his fingers trying to claw into the smooth glass. That’s at least 10 meters (c. 30 feet) high)
Or how about this guy? Standing on a ladder, which is standing on some assembled wooden beams, which are laying loosely on two iron bars some 38 meters (120 ft) above the ground.
