....and fill out a risk assessment form, and submitted to the elf and safety executive first.

Elsa is doing her NVQ2 in Elderly Care, and some of the modules she has to do...things like monitoring traffic, counting the number of screams, how to open doors, how to drink the correct way out of a cup.

Well done Screaming Lord Sutch!

Let's see what we can have next........hmmm....I know........police officers not allowed to wear uniforms any more because they will intimidate the general public and upset ethnic minorities.

How about surgical instruments during operations? Surely they are offensive weapons aren't they?

Health & Safety

My dad was working on a lathe the other day, he had to have a guy standing by him with a fire extinguisher........must be terrible when metal you are working on suffers a nuclear reaction & bursts into flames

[Mrs Daddy]

watched news last night and was quite surprise when they not allowed to swim and save someone who is drowning because of the health and safety reason so Ridiculous what they gonna do then just watching that poor person to die!so sad:(

[gadgets]

they should add an amendment to the Health and Safety rules regarding stoopid application of Healthy and Safety rules would be in violation of Health and Safety rule. that should cause some cranial implosion for some overpaid bureaucrat.

there are a lot of great health and safety rules but it has gone overboard
