Napping on dangerously

If you think being a rubbish collector is a safe and no-brainer's job, then you're half-wrong.

If you can't see him, try clicking on the picture.

I was driving along Jalan Kuching today and caught this picture with a guy napping dangerously on a moving Alam Flora's rubbish collection truck. I pity this guy. Not only his poor guy had to suffer the stench of the rubbish (and what not) and lowly paid scheme, he has to sit/squat dangerously on a truck that is not meant for such. Not to mention the heat generated from the truck's engine and exhaust, there are some mechanical movement that is part of the engine that can rip a body to pieces at where he was sitting.

It is an accident waiting to happen, clear as a day. I hope Alam Flora buys insurance for their employees especially for this course of work. I hope there's a union to fight for these guys, otherwise, i think they ought to form one. Else, go to this ministry to seek for these worker's justice.

I don't know if this applies to this situation but try to check out Malaysia's National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health website.
