Generator Offloading
Taken at Epsom Race Course two days before the Epsom Derby. The man in the third picture was the truck driver and HiAb operator. He was fully qualified and in safe working area but he did not put out the stabilisers on one side of the truck and tried to lift the generators to high to get over the fence. The site crew had offered to remove the fence but he claimed it was not necessary. He was last seen looking for a new job.
