DC #ElectionWorkers have been fielding angry calls & emails for over a month from people who oppose allowing #noncitizen residents to #vote in local #elections, leaving the head of the DC Board of Elections concerned about #safety at the polls in Tues’s primary.

I took this picture while passing through a parking lot on my lunch today. This is a severe workplace OSHA infraction. This worker is not wearing any fall protection. He was the only person working on this structure at the time of this photo (there were two workers in the parking lot on a lunch break.)
He appeared to be installing some metal flashing along the edge.
In the photo you can see how extremely dangerous his situation is if...
you have an idea how wide an I-beam is, and
you can see that his right foot is at the very edge of the upright beam - it's only as wide as his shoe.
one miss-step, a gust of wind, a distraction, slipping or losing balance while installing material, etc., and he falls to his death.*
you know that falling from a height of 4ft or more, can cause serious injury and even death.
