Health And Safety Survailance Officer.....

<< < (3/3)

Bulli:
Hmmmmmmm health and safety.
Needed in certain circumstances but seems to be getting well out of hand. My only concern is where will it end?
Marshalled at the event in LRE and one event had one of the guys being sent out along a rope and lowered with the winch. One of the competitiors said " my winch isnt rated for people"
I can understand his comment in these times as you wouldn't want suing for misuse of equipment that led to injury.
Our common passtime can be extremely dangerous. When you are working on your car or out enjoying a hard greenlane there are times when you are taking a chance.I would hate the busy bodies to get their teeth into my private life, what i choose to risk is my affair as long as i harm no-one else.
power to the people, not civil servants!

I used to enjoy my job until today.

You see a bloke i work with who has been with the company many years and in the printing industry for nearly 30 years has been on a 3 day comprehensive Heath and Safety Survailance course. This man before the course was a carefree no rules laidback sort of guy...... Not Anymore  :evil:

Often the worst offenders are the best after training, poacher turned gamekeeper, give him time and it'll ease a bit.

RISK ASSESMENT/POSSIBLE DANGERS TO MYSELF OR OTHERS.

Putting my union safety rep's hat on, R.A.s can ONLY be PROPERLY carried out by those trained to do it, it is the managements responsiblity to make sure R.A.s are done and the person doing them is appropriately trained/experienced.

My workmate has turned into a little hitler overnight and he knows it, it is getting everyone down but now its inplace we are powerless to do anything about it. Thats how serious this Goverment Backed H/A/S/S Officer thing is.

Go to the HSE website and read the basics, then start asking him questions about it.....Few trained/appointed safety people actually know what the law actually requires, IOSH members however.

Had a Health and Safety inspection last week at my business. A rather attractive young lady turned up ( :D ) and was very helpful. Pointed out a few minor areas we should improve and is due to write to us to confirm. I do hope she comes back to confirm we have carried out the recommendations ........ I know, how shallow am I????  :lol:
