Trippin' over 100,000

Recently I read in a news article that they were over 100,000 condominium construction jobs going on in the city of Toronto.  It sounds unbelievable at first glance but it could be possible.  I actually didn't pay much attention to the numbers but when one of my co-workers pointed it out I started looking over the city from the 31st floor of the building where I work.  They are plenty cranes in the sky and that is for sure one spectacular sight for the job industry.



Whats not spectacular is the number of scaffolds that cuts in to our side walk space.  It's not pretty!  Look, the bottom line is that the city is booming with work and give it a few years and the benefits will be produce.  In the mean time pay very close attention to the jobs being done at the top because what goes up could eventually comes down.  Hopefully this doesn't happen by accident.

On all job-sites any construction work over lapping side walks, scaffolds are assembled to protect pedestrians from anything falling from above.  I have witnessed on many occasions people cutting through the unsafe zones to make the distance shorter, this could be deadly.  Please walk under the scaffolds they are made specifically for this purpose, practice the safer way to avoid any unfortunate injuries from accidents.  Even though the scaffolds could seem narrow or just longer in distance traveled please understand the reasoning for this.  Be safe!
