H & S have they gone mad!!

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

had an induction on a large bovis site last year helmet, vis vest, gloves and goggles at all times . also told by the safty officer that bovis are thinking about bringing in luminus safty boots as a requirement ppe.and no it wasnt a joke .

Same as,Tommy, last year on Media City Mcr. goggles and wet cutters don't mix. We had more chance of falling off scaffold, due to being blind with slurry on goggles. Another thing was re-cycling, we had plastic tubs on wheels, you know the ones. there were white hats with clipboards going round taking people's names, If you were seen putting gypsum waste in a masonary tub, or timber in a paper tub etc. it was three strikes and off the job.


I don't know if this is true, but a labourer told us that at the end of the week, they took all the carefully seperated waste to the front of the site where a big rubbish truck proceeded to tip the whole lot in mixing all the contents together:yikes: I know HSE mean well but sometimes common sense should prevail. One more small rant, we all use the folding hop-ups. Guess what? they are banned. Yep we were working in small toilet rooms, 15m2 floor space, they insisted on tower scaffolds. We had to wait for accredited scaffolder's to arrive,then wait for them to do their thing. I really enjoyed limboing on to them with tools, tiles, adhesive etc.:mad2:
