Is it just me????

I agree Bugs, I'm a bit depressed about it all at the moment, you take one step forward and three steps back. I'm mostly down about the H&S nonsense that seems to have overtaken the main contracting side. I have had 4 yellow cards issued on one site alone this week. They are all pathetic reasons, one of the lads moved the task lighting 3 foot, yellow card, another took his goggles off as he was going for his break another yellow card. I am spending so much time filling out these PATHETIC daily safety briefings, that the real work is sitting there doing nowt. The whole thing is getting out of hand, how can a 22 year old kid lecture a man of 53 on the 'correct' way of working safely? I feel a good old Irish rage, coming on...buckets will be kicked...goggles will be thrown, and thats just for starters.

I hope the 22 year old H&S guy has all the correct PPE on when the 53 year old launches him off the roof top

I've been working on Birminghams New Street Station.
Just try and get tools and tiles through a shut door without some jobs worth saying, 'you can't put that there, this is an emergancy exit', so you can't prop a door open to move you tools through quickly, yet you can't out them down by the door whilst you open it time after time.
I just put a stupid day rate in, so if they moan i don't care, but you'd lose out on meterage prices.
Bloomin mental world we live in.

So long as you are a trained supervisor you can launch him, it's a red card for normal workers!

So what happens when you have so many yellow cards, they give a red one and send you off site ?????

Jesus Christ it never ends!!! I stupidly opened my email tonight...low and behold this is what I was met with! I think Im going to snap! Who the hell writes a coshh risk assessment for adhesive and grout!

Lynn,

As per discussion on site with Glen, please can you forward all COSHH risk assessments for all material on site. We have received the data sheets but no assessments.

If I could have these as soon as possible.

Regards
Martin.
