Health and Safety

Here is a picture of workmen at the Citadel historic site in Amman, Jordan. They were laying roads, paths and doing some landscaping. It was in effect a building site as well as a tourist site.

The Jordanians appear to take the very practical view that there was no need for work to stop on either front - the builders carried on building; the tourists carried on touring. Both groups sensibly kept out of each other's way.
How refreshing it is that the Health and Safety lobby has not had the opportunity to spread its deadening tentacles to this part of the world.
