H & S

[beelze_bob]

Since mentioning to some biker mates that I had started studying health and safety I have experienced a backlash of verbal abuse from some who see all involved in health and safety as the authoritarian enemy that must be defied and discredited at all opportunities

H & S

[blue_jez]

I wholeheartedly agree. Our H&S rules are actually sensible but are implemented be weak-willed and lily-livered wet blankets afraid to taje responsibility in case some vampire in a cheap suit tries to sue.

It is claims direct and their ilk - compensation culture - not HSE which stifle this country. The people who rant and rave about it are very probably the same people who try to claim compensation should they ever cock up and imjure themselves.

I agree, you have saved me the trouble of writing it ;o) It's organisations who don't want to take on even the slightest risk of getting sued that give H&S a bad name instead of taking responsibility for their own rules.
