I don't get it, There's no way I would go near that, and i'm not even in that bizniz.
I was working in a temp workers shack doing IT in 2015
And some jackass thought it was acceptable to just lift a huge concrete prefab tub over the shack while we were in it. didn't even tell us.
I noticed the sky turning dark on a sunny day, got out, saw the thing over my head and all hell broke loose. from me onto the construction guys.
Pulled the breaker on the mains and told em they were shut down for the day till I saw the mandatory safety supervisor , who obviously wasn't there.

Turns out the random IT guy was more aware of gubmint mandatory safety regs for construction works then the actual construction workers and crane operators were.




Their crane was much smaller and the concrete element was much bigger then above picture.
