It is far more dangerous going to and from work than it is while you are at work (open cut mining).

I remember all the stories from the old mates that there never used to be terms like safety bund etc etc. One guy, 60 years old George at Gingin told me how one day he was asked to "sort out" the batters. So he got a grader, put a chain on it and connected it to a bigger loader. The loader drove along the top of the wall stopping the grader from tipping over while he was grading a 30 degree batter!!! Farkin epic, try that shit nowadays LOL.
