And trailing cable signs, and then signs for the trailing cable signs, and then more signs for those signs. Whatever next?

It is a bit of overkill sometimes.But yes the world has gone PC/H AND S mad,because no-one wants to admit responsibility nowadays.rrr:

Re: hse gone mad or not

Did you see the thing on top gear a while back about the solar power illuminated roadsign, installed at great expense, the drawback being that they had to have a normal roadsign with light next to them for health and safety incase they failed :mad2::mad2:

Re: hse gone mad or not

was skimming a big ceiling at a water treatment works, site agent said that if I don't put my hard hat on, I'm off the job. I called his bluff and got off the scaffold, handed him my trowel and said something like " you finish it off then, it still needs it's second coat!"

Recently rode my mountain bike into a sign in the middle of a cyclepath,

It said - Beware of signs on path

Some's useful..some's just barmy!
Ok.
I UNDERSTAND!
Goggles with grinders (I have been to casualty with a nice chunk of travatine in my eye many years ago!)
dust masks with prolonged grinder use..
ear defence again for PROLONGED GRINDER USE!
Hard hat for OUTSIDE area's etc.
I DON"T UNDERSTAND!:incazzato::incazzato:
Gloves for fixing ...just makes it difficult, unless they're really thin, then they'd be useless against cuts!
Boots with the steel showing on the toecap being illegal..we spend half our lives on all fours!!! that's at least 100 pairs a year then!
Hard hats in finished rooms (I have been told to wear one inside a finished bathroom before!)
Same as above for Hi -Vis..will anyone really be driving plant IN A BATHROOM!!:mad2:

[Gazzer]

Re: hse gone mad or not

On the site where i am working we were all inducted and then went to work.
Tripping over cables along the way.
No lights in the rooms where we are tiling.
Offcuts of pipes lying around the floor.
Holes in the ground without any barriers.
2 toilets for a site with about 30 workers ( Site agents have their own loo )
Hard hats
Hi Viz


Supposedly No radios :smilewinkgrin:
No Phones :smilewinkgrin:


Seems like the only people who are really busy are the Health and safety people.....making up new rules to keep themselves in work.

Re: hse gone mad or not

The radio thing is coz of the performing rights licence They are trying to introduce it right across europe. We have to have a licence if there is an audience of more than two. It's peanuts tho bout €40 a year.

I passed a school field a couple of days ago where some council workmen where cutting the grass and putting the goal posts back in. they where in a shed about 6 feet by 3 feet and nailed to a tree next to the shed was a sign with FIRE ASSEMBLY POINT on it. What the F*** is going on with people lol

Re: hse gone mad or not

all elecrical cords and tools must be tested and tagged over here for site work(every 4 to 6 months ):8:

 

[Stan001]

Re: hse gone mad or not

... no radio???

 

[doug boardley]

certainly no i pods on the sites I work on, I can understand that one tho

 

[Ajax123]

My company insists on the wearing of safety glasses on all of its working sites. This I thought was to protect my eyes from the threat of flying gravel or bits of dust but no I was told it is to prevent the risk of trip hazards. If you get something in your eye you will not be able to see where you are going and could therefore trip over something. Mind you you would nt hurt yourself nowadays from a fall cos of all the cottom woll they wrap you up in...

 

[curlycan]

I know this is for tiling but at the mo im a bus driver and we have to have our headlights on when you enter our depot (buses and cars) even if its a bright sunny day. If you can't see cars or buses moving then you shouldn't be driving is what i say.

 

[White Room]

My mate who drives a bus said somethink about doing some qualification for driving
