Health and Safety at work

DAFT builders have filmed themselves setting each other on fire, diving into wet cement and beating each other with timber.

The workers’ dangerous video pranks have shocked construction bosses who condemned the films as “utterly disgusting”.

Footage includes one contractor – tied up in bubble wrap – before his boots are set a blaze.

Health & Safety Executive (HSE) chief inspector of construction, Stephen Williams, said the behaviour could have led to serious injury or death.

"Some of the behaviour shown is criminal assault, breaches of health and safety legislation and bullying. HSE encourages all in the construction industry to condemn such videos and help stamp out this type of unsafe behaviour."
