Well maybe it was a bit of an overreaction on my part initially, as it seems it's not going to be there for more than a day or 2. I guess I'll just avoid walking in the area and hope flying roofing doesn't break any windows!
Still have to say I'm quite surprised by the standards.

Thanks again for the comments.
I don't think that it was an over reaction on your part at all. This was inexcusable even if only a 10 minute job.

From what I have seen, Health & Safety in Switzerland appears to be less heavily regulated than in UK/EEC. There appears to be more acceptance of common sense. That was clearly lacking with your builders.

I am sure that 'cowboy builders' are around in every country. The construction sites that I have seen in Switzerland have generally impressed me compared to those in the UK.
