Handy size of trailer! 8 tonner?
Looks good, I hope you're going to paint it a suitably snazzy colour
Last trailer on our farm refurbished, stayed in red oxide colour, still is 
and it's fine, it's indoor stored, but it doesn't look "cool"

That may well be all he was doing, but it can go to rat poo so quickly Hydraulic arm fails while dump truck is unloading its load. : CatastrophicFailure (reddit.com) Not quite the same, but illustrates the point

Too true. A farmer down the road from me lost his dad, who was uncoupling his trailer with the trailer raised after unloading logs & it came down on him & crushed him.

shouldn’t worry, you cant post anything anywhere these days, not (just here, anywhere) without attracting comments from those who are obsessed with safety.

Interesting way of looking at H&S. I'm not obsessed with H&S, but a quick question, have you ever seen the aftermath of an unpropped body coming down on someone up close and personal? I have

No, I’ve not specifically witnessed that…. I have witnessed someone jump out of the way pretty quickly as a hose burst on a loaded grain trailer…
It must have been horrible

Not nice. Luckily the young lad in question was pulled clear but not quick enough to clear an arm which was snapped multiple times from the elbow to the hand
Its just application of that un-common thing - common sense!
Quite often people just aren't aware there's a potential issue - but when pointed out, "oh yeah . . . " and it's a bit of a reminder to take a little step back (having checked first there is room
) and look at the bigger picture. I get to work in many places, many countries, many different H&S programs, but the general thing is just be aware of what's around you and the potential for problems - and point out anything you consider an issue - it may just save a life.Me, I'd rather "waste" a few minutes ensuring mine, and others, safety and not need it, than not bother and my other half has to have a half day out with a few blokes dressed all in black and driving a nice black limo . . . or worse, have to look after a bug-gered up me. Or I have to make the call . . "there's been an accident . . ."
I'll have to admit I get annoyed with the many missives from our H&S dept - but I've come to realise most people just don't think things through enough, or just don't care, and so need all these procedures to be able to work safely.

I don’t want to keep hearing Negative H and S comments on threads which are highlighting something else usually something positive that the poster has chosen to share. . Trust me, I have been subject to this a great many times. That was why I was supporting the OP
Back to the main topic though please.
