I hope these guys had health insurance

Pacific Guano Fertilizer Company, 1929 (4522 Worth St., East LA; newer-looking building now on site)

I don't think it's ever a good idea to stand in front of a 12-foot-high concave wall of dried bird sh*t; one moderate earthquake and this guy is a Darwin Award winner!
It looks like it would have been pretty dark in there, too, without the flash from the photo (the guy is holding a flashlight):


No hardhat, no eye protection, no mask, no gloves, no nuthin' -- and I hope he's not trying to pull that one sack out of the middle:


At least they had some mechanized help with all those sacks:
