"I loved the old days where injury and death were commonplace at work. We just used to shrug it off and carry on regardless. If you phoned an ambulance before your shift was over you were a poofta. " And.......if you were off work for more than a few hours you had to prove you had been decapitated | |||

"Have to wear safety glasses at work written warning if caught without them same for boots cut yourself and not wearing gloves the earth will open up and sallow me. And the new one is no eating and drinking in work shop what's next don't work it's bad for you lol " of course if you weren't given this PPE by your empliers and had an accident you wouldn't put in a claim against them! 
banning food and drink from a work shop is not "new", this based on the fact that many chemicals found in a work shop are hazardous when put in the mouth or do you wash your hands every time you put food or drink in your mouth? | |||

"I recently saw footage of them building Sydney Harbour Bridge - no safety gear at all - they all looked very at ease, I'd have been terrified. But sadly some of those guys lost their lives. I've had to have step ladder training to do one aspect of my job! " More than "some" lost their lifes. Go to the HSE website and see how many people are injured or killed falling of step ladders. | |||

"I have no prob with the hse and satety training have went through alot for working at hieghts ladder safety and stuff but some are silly or dont people have common sense or is it teally employers are being shafted by claims on fake injury's and thats why these rules are in place" Where theres blame theres a claim and all that. You make a good point 
The world should of grew a pair when people started suing Macdonalds because their coffee burnt them.
Someone should of said 'Fuck off, case closed, you aint getting a penny' | |||

And the new one is no eating and drinking in work shop what's next don't work it's bad for you lol " Yes i work in the building trade and what is it with working in domestic houses and being told by Health and safety bosses you must wear a hard-hat and a high vis jacket, steel toe cap boots, gloves and safety goggles to do your job while the housing tenant walks around the same area in their pyjamas and a pair of slippers???? Don't get me started on these health and safety bosses who walk round in their spotless suits, clipboard in hand, Ooo look at me and how important i am because i have a clipboard....no you don't you look like a twat! | |||

Another good one when i was working on a building site a few months ago there were quite a few eastern europeans, mainly Polish builders who could'nt read english. Now i mentioned this to the site manager "how can the health and safety laws be adhered to when they cannot read the health and safety signs placed here, there and everyfookingwhere about the site?" Site managers reply....."Best not to mention that if any health and safety inspectors come round" WTF! | |||

Till I pointed out that they were admitting the safety guards were not effective therefore leaving themselves open to prosecution for unsafe equipment "UK law allows the use of PPE as a last resort when all other controls are put in place, so as long as your employer has followed the guidance (so far as reasonably practicable)they can issue PPE. | |||

"Because as a guy with a hot sexy wife I sometimes get bored with having sex with two and three girls at the same time watching five girls Play together then getting a blow job off three of them having lost of group sex etc etc sometimes I just need to chill with a good biscuit documentary you know what I mean ?

We already do a CSCS exam in the building trade to get a CSCS card in order to work on sites, its all been covered in the test and then again on tedious site inductions so just leave us alone on the sites to let us get on with our jobs. Quite frankly if you put your hand into a circular saw, don't know how to use a step ladder properly or can't work out where a fire exit is you should'nt be working in the first place. I've been working in the building trade since i left school and trust me most of the stuff that comes out of health and safety executives cakeholes is bollocks. | |||

You're the reason H&S laws are there. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and have worked in construction. I've seen too many lives changed because people ignored rules. I'm a H&S manager because I want to help people go home at night in one piece. I neither wear a suit, carry a clipboard or try to stop people doing their work. I work with them to ensure the job gets done within the law. And believe me, if you were being interviewed by a H&S inspector following an accident you wouldn't be telling them what you think of them. | |||

But my work are actually really terrible with these rules. I haven't heard of any accidents at work that have warranted this huge clamp down (unless they are keeping it quiet) I wasn't even allowed to use some scissors the other day incase I sliced my fingers off, so I had to get some one "trained" to do it. I just burst out laughing | |||

And the new one is no eating and drinking in work shop what's next don't work it's bad for you lol Yes i work in the building trade and what is it with working in domestic houses and being told by Health and safety bosses you must wear a hard-hat and a high vis jacket, steel toe cap boots, gloves and safety goggles to do your job while the housing tenant walks around the same area in their pyjamas and a pair of slippers???? Don't get me started on these health and safety bosses who walk round in their spotless suits, clipboard in hand, Ooo look at me and how important i am because i have a clipboard....no you don't you look like a twat!" And we are the ones who put in place controls to prevent injuries to people like yourself, however you would know this in one of the most hazardous jobs industries in the world. I wouldn't walk around calling a guy in a hard hat and boots a twat for doing his job, just to clarify. | |||

Brazil and Qatar can happily have all the self important ego maniac health and safety executives from Britain as far as i'm concerned. When they put some overalls on over their suits and get their hands dirty (do a proper days work) then they can tell me how to do my job, otherwise they can fook right off!
Same for the EU, where a lot of the over the top health and safety laws have come from. Its hard enough to earn a decent wage as it is on pricework on building sites these days without jumped up pricks in suits wondering around and saying you can't do this, and you can't do that.
And how many lifes have been saved by these people you call jumped up pricks? How many families have seen loved come home safw after a days work on a building site due to these jumped up pricks? In your world many more would be dead or maimed?
Also, for your information, we had the HSAWA well before the EU got involved. The majority of UK law is based on common sense.
I see people like you everyday, thank fuck the majority of the UK workforce work with their employers to improve safety."That I couldn't have written better | |||

"I disagree with: and would add that as industry and work practises have changed etc so have the regs to reflect this.. usually its because something was an unseen consequence or someone has made a mistake or been unlucky.. in any industry common sense will only keep you safe so long if your the type of person who does it their way regardless of and with disregard for safety.. There are many accidents caused by pressure to maintain targets, staff shortages as well as bullying by management also do it or get sacked. You can also include safe practises that become unsafe because of someone not involved with the task but has input to how the task is carried out. There are many factors why H & S is not always the safest way to do things in many circumstances. When you involve people you add a problem to any employment" I wasn't attempting to give a breakdown as to the how and why different types of workplace safety incidents occur and the different factors that attribute to them.. Health and Safety costs money, which is often why the bosses want to cut it or reduce the costs attributed to it.. not usually them that are injured or killed whilst earning a living though usually.. its there by and large because its been shown to reduce the risks attributed to whatever, and sadly those risks have led to deaths and long term injuries/illnesses for the employees and also associated risks to others.. not really sure what your saying about the last sentence.? | |||

"OK I'm just going to address the white elephant in the room as clearly everyone is thinking it but nobody is saying it. I can't believe the OP watched a biscuit documentary right to the end.
Because as a guy with a hot sexy wife I sometimes get bored with having sex with two and three girls at the same time watching five girls
Play together then getting a blow job off three of them having lost of group sex etc etc sometimes I just need to chill with a good biscuit documentary you know what I mean ? Oh no you probably don't !!!!!!!!!!! "Wow! You da man! (((high five))) | |||

Doing these type of tests is not decent workplace standards its jumped up bureaucracy, its giving just another excuse for companies to leave. | |||

"Whilst some health and safety rules seem silly, it's good that we have them. In the bad old days many people were badly injured or worse by lax safety. " The HSE website has a section on elf & safety myths where people have used the health and safety banner for poor management. | |||

Are you one of these jumped up, self important, ego manics in a suit then? lol
Point is we don't need half of these stupid health and safety laws, its basic common sense. I don't need an idiot in a suit to tell me not to put my hand into a circular saw, how to use a step ladder properly, electric does'nt go well with water, blah, blah, blah and all the other obvious bollocks they routinely spout on a daily basis. We already do a CSCS exam in the building trade to get a CSCS card in order to work on sites, its all been covered in the test and then again on tedious site inductions so just leave us alone on the sites to let us get on with our jobs. Quite frankly if you put your hand into a circular saw, don't know how to use a step ladder properly or can't work out where a fire exit is you should'nt be working in the first place. I've been working in the building trade since i left school and trust me most of the stuff that comes out of health and safety executives cakeholes is bollocks.
Priceless. I love big men like you and love it even more when people like you are interviewed by an HSE inspector. Strange how many of these big men suddenly go pale when they meet reality.
As for me, I don't wear a suit. I wore a uniform for 22 years and last 10 years have worked in a few industries advising and helping people understand practical HS&E. In fact I haven't met many HS&E professionals who wear suits and fewer still met any who haven't worked at the 'coal face' before moving into this role. But hey, I bow to your greater experience 'big man'
Yes i've met many Health and safety executives on jobs over the years and told them exactly what i thought of them. Never once went pale either so can't see what you are getting at with that statement?
Most of them were wearing starch pressed suits aswel with clipboards in hand. They stick out like sore thumbs on building sites so its impossible to miss them. Most of my work colleagues in the trade despise Health and safety executives and hold the same low opinion of them as i do. Don't be under any illusion that what you preach when you are on site is taken notice of, as soon as you leave site the workmen just go back to doing the job the way they want to do it anyway which is usually the quickest and most efficient way to do the job when working on a price. I do the job how i want to do it, and apply my own basic common sense. Never once injured myself or anyone else in 18 years working in the construction industry either.
I wouldn't employ you. You're the reason H&S laws are there. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and have worked in construction. I've seen too many lives changed because people ignored rules. I'm a H&S manager because I want to help people go home at night in one piece. I neither wear a suit, carry a clipboard or try to stop people doing their work. I work with them to ensure the job gets done within the law. And believe me, if you were being interviewed by a H&S inspector following an accident you wouldn't be telling them what you think of them. "Thats ok then, being as i'm not asking you for a job and i would'nt want to work for you in the first place. I've never been interviewed by a H and S inspector because as i said in my previous post i've never been injured and i've never injured anyone else either, so what you said is a non-point really. I think you'll find when you ask any tradesman who has worked on a building site they often get stopped from doing their job by busy bodied H & S inspectors.....and for those saying if it only takes half an hour longer what is the problem when you are getting paid. Well it does'nt work like that if you are on a building site and the work you are doing is on a price, instead of daywork or hourly rate. I'm self employed so if i get stopped from working for half an hour or an hour then that is an hour without being paid. Me and my workmates often get stopped by H&S inspectors sticking their oar in to give what they call "toolbox" talks. A toolbox talk basically means you get stopped from working for half an hour while they give you a holier than thou lecture stating the bleedin obvious! | |||

"as we have all these elf and safety experts on here maybe one could answer a question that has puzzled me for ages, Given that a hard hat is to protect you from falling objects, not to protect your head in a fall, why do telephone engineers have to wear one when up at the top of a pole, "I can answer that my friend.....its because most health and safety stuff is pie in the sky, loony tunes nonsense. | |||
