Urgh, don't get me started on H&S. It's good/ useful/ adds value when used properly but as with your example, everyone is treated like a complete idiot nowadays and no common sense is applied.

TBH, since your employer is responsible for your safety, and there are so many fuckwits around these days, I don't think the sign is so 'mad'

lol health and safety is crazy! why do you need to wear a hard hat when on a scaffolding with nothing or no one above you? maybe there worried about birds shitting on your head??!! The thing with hard hats is that they are designed to protect you from falling objects. The funy thing is, that if propper risk assesments and houskeeping were implemented, there would be no falling objects. However! we then come back to the fuckwits that are put in charge of such procedures Its like the large construction firms that now prohibit the wearing of 'rig boots' since they 'provide' little ankle support. Only lace up boots are allowed. Now theres the thing. Who are they going to make responsible to ensure you lace your boots up propperly? Not only that, but if you were to go over on your ankle with which ever boot, there is again a housekeeping issue that should have been highlighted and addressed in a risk assessment, which again brings us back to the fuckwits put in charge of such procedures. ITS ALL FUCKING BOLLOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............................ On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

It is truly amazing how many people don't understand that. It seems like everyone in the world just wants to get something for nothing, and common sense is thrown out the window. Bring back natural selection then. People have to many rights and freedoms. In boost we trust |

But very very rare. But they will say that small knocks to the head can cause long term injuries or conditions ( ie Parkinsons etc ) and they are shite scared of thousands of people suing employers in years to come. Which could end up with billions of compensation. Those knocks can be from various sources. Although wearing a damn hard had leads to you hitting your head on more things than enough !! 9.85 @ 145mph

A friend of mine is a maintenance officer in an airport. Few weeks ago he was asked to change a light diffuser (old one had clouded up an gone a horrid shade of yellow). It was in a corridor about 7ft wide. He climbed up some step ladders an started to swap it when the airports health an safety officer walked past, told him to get down. He wasn't allowed to replace this diffuser on step ladders. They had to remove 2 sets of doors, hire a small cherry picker ( an driver), aswell as lifting equipment to get it all onto the second floor. The whole job took a day an cost a fortune, instead of the 20 minutes it should have done. All because some jobs worth walked past at the wrong time. |

Well thats your companies health and safety policy well and truely shagged then isnt it, since accidents still happen, but now they are not being recorded, which is breaking the law, and your company is promoting it with a bonus scheme.
