The Evening Telegraph<\/a> reports a WORKER has been criticized over \u201cdangerous\u201d work practices after a picture emerged of him in the bucket of heavy machinery.<\/p>\n

The photograph shows a worker being elevated to a height in a tele- handler \u2014 a machine used widely in the building industry to lift heavy objects rather than people \u2014 to hang a flag on a flagpole.<\/p>\n

The snap was taken at the Merchant Homes housing development Summerfield Park and is located on grassland to the north of Drumgeith Road and west of Summerfield Avenue.<\/p>\n

George Ramsey, regional organiser for UCATT, said it was a \u201cdangerous\u201d move to have somebody standing in the bucket of a machine.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cNo, this is not normal practice as far as I\u2019m concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can clearly see just by looking at the photograph that it\u2019s dangerous.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no safe methods there in place. It\u2019s not designed for someone to stand in, not from my experience of being in the building trade anyway.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a telehandler that is being used. They lift objects, not people. They would normally lift up pallets with slates or something up to the roof of houses.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The image emerged on social media.<\/p>\n

George said he will now make efforts to talk to the bosses at the site to bring about a resolution to the situation.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI will have to go round to that site and find out what\u2019s happening because it\u2019s a concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve also heard of another incident in Carnoustie that was posted on Facebook.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillors gave the 49-home housing scheme development project the green light in June 2014 with plans including new roads and up to 76 parking spaces.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Merchant Homes said: \u201cHealth and safety and the welfare of our employees is of paramount importance to us. We take all issues regarding this very seriously and are currently addressing the matter raised.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
