Watching a children's programme with my 2 year old based in a doctors surgery, and it showed a group of kids around 4-5 years old wearing crash helmets, knee and elbow pads..... to run an egg and spoon race. Anyone else think this is ridiculous?

H&S has it's place but just not with everything.

I used to work in a shop that had display lamps in the show room. We weren't allowed to change a bulb in case we burnt ourselves, so had to call the company electrician.

A friend in another company wasn't allowed to open the window because of the plant pot on the ledge. Had to call maintenance to remove the plant first. I'm not talk a huge palm but a spindly spider plant

I blame the easy compensation society we live in nowadays. Far too many folk willing to take councils and other establishments to court over the slightest scrape.

It's a myth that the HSE is responsible for all the ridiculous rules and regulations, they're usually dreamt up by the school, office or whatever themselves. Z

The egg and spoon race should be banned, it can damage the unborn chick.

Just had to go and look up H&S myths, there are quite a few. And yes there is no fact in egg and spoon races not being allowed due to H&S so Zoe is correct.

Problem is people use it incorrectly as a quick answer for not allowing something as people don't seem to question it, when they should be saying, it's against company policy, food & hygiene standards or simply just because they don't want to.
