There were reports of heavy winds in Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh, India on 10.06.2011. Seven containers on the road were upturned, two drivers on the road flew 20 feet high and fell down receiving injuries and broken bones/joints, many electric poles, houses and trees were uprooted. The wind speed was about 500 kmph. Incidents like this are rare in India.
Now imagine if somebody is working on the building roof (work at height jobs) or trestles. Normally in coastal areas, wind speeds are very high and may reach even 200 kmph. This, if coupled with low pressure and accompanying heavy winds can lead to above incidents. In maintenance jobs of roofs, safety advisor will not allow work on roof during winds and rain because of the apprehension that asbestos/metallic sheet roofs can fly off, persons at the top will not have strong foothold, asbestos sheets can become soft due to rain and lead to fall of persons. But maintenance department views such advise as hindrance to work and pass sarcastic comments. The video link is to be seen by such people so that they can be careful in future.
