Now coastguards can't launch rescue until they fill out health and safety assessment | Mail Online can you add any examples to this that you know about :8:

Risk assessments i believe they call them,the military got to do them aswell,think its this duty of care malarkey,which can only be a good thing imo

for anyone who thinks H&S is a joke , try nearly losing a leg because of poor H&S , then see how much of a joke it is , i will let you guess who nearly lost a leg

Had a pair of rigger boots on when working on a bridge, suddenly 9 florecent jackets walked on the job and was told the rigger boots were no good because they did'nt support the ankles:yikes:

Coast guards, H&S could costs lives

 

[poynton phil]

Rigger boots were banned on the sites i used too work ,on about 10 years ago, for that reason

 

[White Room]

Still see alot of guys wearing them though

H&S is as good as the people around you. Try to work alongside intelligent people and you can wear what you like.

........... and save lives , those of the rescue crew , the first rule is not too put yourself in danger , plenty of people have been killed going in to save others and getting themselves hurt or killed in the process

agree to a point , however , it wont stop that stray piece of wind blown grit ending up scratching your eyeball if you dont wear LEP will it

If I worried about every eventuality through life I'd never get out of bed, H&S is mostly common sense

agreed , the problem is , too many people lack common sense , take the last week for instance , would you risk your life to save a few seconds by taking a chance in front of 10 tons of bus , do i hear no , well , i can g'tee you i have had at least 20 people take the chance in 1 week , and in front of a bus with 'L' plates on as well :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
