It’s unclear if the worker responsible for the illicit urination has been identified yet. “HSE is aware of the incident and making enquiries,” says spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive. 4 Why Are Construction Workers Peeing In Bottles?
This isn’t the first time construction workers have been associated with “pee bottles”—a couple from Bridgend, South Wales were appalled to find bottles full of urine left under their bath after builders had been at work in their new home. “It’s an absolute disgrace,” Graham Crowley-Miller, 29, told The Sun. “We were so excited about moving in and it’s been nothing but months of pain. There’s an endless list of things that need fixing but the three bottles of urine under the bath really was disgusting. Why anyone would do such a thing is beyond me.” RELATED: Groom Played Video of Bride’s Cheating With Brother-in-Law at Wedding 5 Urine Bottles In the Walls
An investigation by Idaho’s KTVB7 discovered construction workers regularly left urine-filled bottles in homes and work sites: “One worker who spends most of his work hours at CBH construction sites estimates he finds urine-filled bottles in one out of every four homes where portable toilets are not available. Next door, one such bottle was found in a crawl space of the CBH home a woman is going to live in. NewsChannel 7 had the contents tested by Minert & Associates, a federally regulated drug-testing lab in Meridian. The lab confirmed that the liquid in the bottle was human urine. It also tested positive for marijuana.”
