Asbestos Shovelling Competition
Workers shovel raw blue asbestos tailings into drums at an asbestos shovelling competition at Wittenoom, in the Pilbara, WA, in 1962.
A group of workers shovel raw blue asbestos tailings into drums while surrounded by a dense cloud of dust in an Australian mining area. The joke is the reckless absurdity of treating highly dangerous asbestos exposure as a cheerful competition, making it a reaction to something that seems catastrophically unsafe yet exciting to some people.
