After a photo depicting two men working on a balcony with one holding the other with a dog leash went viral , the Occupational Health and Safety Authority contacted the men advising them about unsafe conditions. Neither men were viewed to be wearing safety vests or helmets, with just a leash keeping one man from falling off the balcony. The authority managed to identify the location and the men involved.

The OHSA also warned anyone against sharing photos of unsafe construction practices on social media. It emphasised contacting the authority first so as to be notified of similar situations. The OHSA stated it will continue with necessary actions on this case.

Netflix has reportedly bought a Kanye West documentary for $30 million. Despite being untitled at the time of writing, the docu-series will chronicle more than two decades of Kanye’s life depicting the artist during his music, fashion and political careers. Billboard reported the $30 million figure, but Variety was informed that the accuracy of this digit is still unconfirmed.

The documentary will allegedly feature West’s mother’s death in 2007. Whether the ongoing divorce with Kim Kardashian will be included is still unknown as there has been no further update on those proceedings since the news hit the media. Netflix has not commented on when the series will be dropping, but it is expected to drop later this year.
